Do you need a travel adapter for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Yes, in almost all cases.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses three plug types side by side:
- Type A: two flat parallel pins, the same type as in the US
- Type B: two flat pins plus a round earth pin, also the same as in the US
- Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape, the British type
Due to both the British colonial history and the American influence, you come across these types mixed together. Type G is the most dominant, but in older accommodations and some American resorts you may come across type A and B.
A travel adapter for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is essential when you:
- bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
- stay in resorts, hotels or holiday villas
- go island hopping through the Grenadines
- want to avoid having no power on arrival
Which socket type does Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have?
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses three main types:
- Type A: two flat parallel pins, ungrounded. The same type as in the US, Canada and Mexico
- Type B: two flat pins with earth pin. In modern American style
- Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in the UK, Saint Lucia and Mauritius
Type G is the most common type, especially on the main island of Saint Vincent and in modern accommodations in the Grenadines. On Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union Island you often also find type A and B in resorts due to the American market.
Which travel adapter for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is best?
Because of the mix of plug types, a universal travel adapter is the smartest choice.
For a one-off trip to a single resort on a specific island, you could ask about the socket type and bring a specific adapter. But as soon as you hop between islands or visit multiple accommodations, you end up with the wrong adapter again.
