The settlement of Lovell was built in 1964. The original inhabitants of the island were each given a plot of land and a new home in this location.[3][4] By that time, Mustique was owned by The Hon. Colin Tennant, who became The 3rd Baron Glenconner in 1983.

Most of the island locals, (roughly 500 people), [5] who work in Mustique, still live in Lovell and for years, have been served by a church, school, restaurant, a medical clinic, a store and a police station.[6][7] A May 2019 report indicates that other businesses are now located in the Lovell area: "a seafood market ... a food market, two stores The Purple House and The Pink House ... and a general store that advertised liquor, wine and cigars".[8] Serving locals and some tourists, the View Restaurant and Bar is located in Lovell.[9]
