Ins & Outs of St. Vincent and the Grenadines - 2023

88 CANOUAN Elegant Escapes Known as the “Island of Turtles”, Canouan is five square miles of lush, tropical rolling hills, exceptional white-sand beaches and home to the Caribbean’s largest coral barrier reef. For an island so small, Canouan boasts a surprising number of luxury amenities including the impressive Sandy Lane Yacht Club and Marina, the luxurious Mandarin Oriental, Canouan Estate Resort and Villas and the latest addition, SOHO House. Getting there is no problem, with two private jets offering a shared jet service from the international airports in St. Vincent and Barbados, and Canouan’s runway that can accommodate private jets up to the size of a Boeing 737. The Sandy Lane Yacht Club is the most sophisticated and best equipped full-service marina in the Grenadines. Both Tradewinds Yacht Charters and Erika’s Yacht Services are now located there. They also offer stylish accommodation and several high quality dining options. There is a Diamonds International tax free jewellery store and Faye Gastronomie is the new high end supermarket. Both Mandarin Oriental and Canouan Estate Resort and Villas offer a minimum spend day-pass for non-guests. Canouan Estate Resort and Villas is a 5-star Luxury Resort that showcases a unique collection of standalone villas and larger residences, along with one and two-bedroom suites. Their spa doesn’t disappoint, with charming hillside treatment palapas and meticulously trained therapists. If golf is your game the Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course is quite spectacular. As might be expected the various restaurants at these resorts are very special. The new Canouan has a lot to offer. Canouan Estate Resort and Villas
