Spend the Night Together at Mick Jagger’s Island Home

Dec. 14, 2016

In an effort to defray the prodigious expense of maintaining a multitude of multimillion-dollar homes around the globe, rich and famous folk sometimes opt to rent out part-time vacation residences at prices that — let’s be honest — would make a minimum-wage worker choke on his bus pass. A prime example: Mick Jagger, who owns a six-bedroom and five-bathroom beachfront compound on the pristine and private West Indies island of Mustique that can be leased by groups of up to 10. Prices start at $16,500 per week during the low season and run up to $30,000 per week during high season.

The Japanese-inspired compound, dubbed Stargroves, overlooks L’Ansecoy Bay and comprises seven separate pavilions connected by a raised wooden walkway that spans a tranquil brook as it meanders through lush, coconut-palm-dotted grounds. A spacious living-room pavilion opens to a beachside sundeck. Just outside the dining pavilion, an open-air gazebo overlooks the swimming pool. Separate structures house a den, fitness room, and game room with a media lounge and billiards table that features kooky coral-pink felt the exact color of the walls.

The master suite occupies its own beachside villa, with a private sitting room and an en suite bathroom. A guest pod has two more bedrooms and a shared bathroom, while a children’s pavilion comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms that flank a central sitting room, plus a small kitchen and oceanside veranda. Renters are provided access to a Jeep they can use to tool around the island, and they are pampered by a staff of six that includes a chef-trained butler.

Jagger also owns Pelican Beach, a smaller property next door to Stargroves that includes a three-bedroom and three-bathroom beachfront villa. That goes for a more reasonable, if not exactly inexpensive, $6,500 to $11,000 per week.

The clearly still virile 73-year-old Rolling Stones frontman just had his eighth child; the mother is his 30-year-old former girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, for whom he reportedly bought a $7 million townhouse in New York City.

Variegated screwpines, those are nice. The Pritchardia palms in pots are nice.

Eh, that's ridiculous prices.

Well, now I know what the line, "Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste" means.

...by groups of up to 10. Prices start at $16,500 per week during the low season and run up to $30,000 per week...

So if that is total price, it's not really outrageous ... 5 couples, that is $3000+ for the week. Who's in with me?

Actually Keith charges more for his pad in the Turks and Caicos Islands (and its smaller). Maybe more upmarket than Mustique!

I wonder if Mick charges Jerry (plus Rupert) when they holiday?

Are services included like housekeeping landscape swimming pool heating cooling plumbing maintenance ?

A kid filling a yogurt bath?

One caveat - Superheavy will be piped in continuously over the house speakers 24/7.

Are there many mosquitoes in Mustique?

That seascape picture above the sofa is a bit naff.

Mustique's too close to Venezuela for me. Imagine a boatload of these starving sweating poor fellows landing on the island in the middle of the night... awful thought isn't it?

Sophia-Juliet, let's go to Saint-Tropez instead!

" Renters are provided access to a Jeep they can use to tool around the island, and they are pampered by a staff of six that includes a chef-trained butler."

Really not too bad considering the amenities.
10 @ 1650 per week in the low season..

I don't know what "naff" means, but I suspect I agree!
Maybe they change the artwork for these realtor photos? i.e. hide the expensive, good art?

It look more desolate and less "tropical" than I thought...

It's still better than Ronnie's paintings!

That's what I thought too...it's kind of "cheap"

Well... I don't want him having to spend time cooking in the kitchen if he's busy with other things being our butler

Well I wouldn't say 'cheap' but still, affordable considering it might equal the amount one might spend for a family in Disney, for example.

it sorta reminds me of our old place.

I wonder if Mick rents out any of his other pads:
London
NYC
LA
Paris
Loire Valley, France
etc

Don't think so. Mustique must be a leftover from the "Jerry Hall" days while the places you mention are used by Mick too frequently to be rented to others (imo).

Here he is, hard at work:

I'm sure it is all very nice and the island is spectacular. On the negative, the
colors need a update (but shhh don't say anything otherwise he might raise ticket prices to pay for the update). In the first picture the entry resembles the Chinese restaurant I would go to in the early 80's. As far as art, I noticed one of Ronnie's Lithographs of Charlie in the billiards room. The salt air on a island is tough on everything so I'm sure that's a reason for some of the furnishings being chosen.

David Bowie and Iman were there too... [www.architecturaldigest.com]

Yeah. I wonder if he'd be willing to do a house swap vacay.
