KATE and Wills splashed the cash on their summer holiday this year by renting a luxury villa in Mustique that costs £27,000 a week.

The Cambridges flew to the island hideaway in the Caribbean two weeks ago and Prince George celebrated his sixth birthday there.

But despite the infinity pool, private staff and luxury decor, it was the budget bunk beds at stunning Villa Antilles that George loved.

The prince was on holiday with parents Wills and Kate, sister Charlotte, four, and little brother Louis, one, on the private Caribbean island.

They returned to the UK on Tuesday.

The Sun can exclusively reveal the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge splashed the cash to stay at the £27,000-a-week villa - at a total cost of £56,000 for the two week stay (including obligatory service charge for the staff).

OCEAN VIEWS

The five bedroom luxury holiday pad includes a kids’ room fitted with two bunk beds, a chef, butler, housekeeper and private garden.

Kate and Wills were holidaying on the island with her parents Mike and Carole – which has been a favoured Middleton holiday destination for years.

Antilles house is fully staffed with chef, butler, house keeper and garden.

The kids have been staying in the children’s room which is decorated with whales on the walls, and comes complete with an elephant laundry basket.

A pal said: “Antilles is the newest villa on the island and is totally set up for a family.

“The kids who have stayed there before absolutely love the bunk beds and child friendly facilities.

“As the villa is fully staffed they can also ask for whatever they want, whenever they want.”

Over-looking the ocean, the villa also includes a 18 metre infinity pool and al-fresco dining area to take in the views.

The home was built in 2016 and is owned by property developer Andrew Dunn – a long-time pal of Prince William.

An ad for the villa describes it as “an exceptional new contemporary colonial style villa set in the Endeavour Hills, with a captivating outlook to Bequia and St Vincent beyond".

FAMILY FAVOURITE

The live in chef also provides a tailored menu to keep the entire family happy, with the brochure boasting: “The focus is on al fresco dining at Antilles. With a choice of indoor and outdoor dining locations, and a trained chef, menus can be tailored to suit every taste and preference.”

A sample menu shows prawn ceviche, grilled lobster and slow cooked baby back ribs as the chef’s signature dishes.

Mustique has long been a favourite of the Royals and the Middleton family – who have been holidaying there for years.

The island, which is part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, has hosted a number of royal and A-lister holidaymakers over the years.

The 1,400-acre island was the haunt of Princess Margaret back in the day, along with the likes of Mick Jagger and Cara Delevingne.

Mustique is an entirely private island and has its own police force to keep its rockstar and socialite  clientele away from prying eyes.

On previous trips to the island, William and Kate have played tennis, gone snorkelling and scuba diving, and enjoyed cocktails at the five-star Cotton House resort.

Last year, the couple let their hair down at the Splash of Gold party at the island’s famous Basil Bar.
