Mandarin Oriental, Canouan

This 1,200-acre property tucked into a hillside above a breathtaking beach on super-exclusive Canouan is as secluded as it is eye-catching, offering suites and villas served by personal butlers, a sublime hillside spa, multiple restaurants and one of the region’s best golf courses.

Nestled along a stretch of Godahl Beach, this chic resort boasts 26 one and two bedroom colonial-style suites, plus tranquil Lagoon Villas and new and exclusive Patio Villas. The elegant suites have gardens leading directly onto the beach or private balconies with sweeping ocean views, while the impressive Patio Villas perched up on the hillside feature a striking open patio and pool overlooking the resort. Enjoy uninterrupted ocean views from various vantage points, whether from your private balcony or courtyard, beside the infinity pool or at the beachfront restaurants and bars. Dine on the freshest produce across five atmospheric locations, including Pan Asian cuisine at Asianne, international favourites at Tides Bar + Grill, and fresh seafood at Lagoon Café, or simply kick back with cocktails at the Pool Bar. As part of a 1200-acre estate, resort guests also have access to a further four dining venues. Head up on the hillside for an extensive range of wellness treatments against the backdrop of dramatic views or make the most of island life while snorkelling the natural coral reef, hiking Mount Royal or playing golf on the fabulous 18-hole Jim Fazio designed course. The resort also has an exceptional Kids Club, ensuring little ones make the most of their stay too.
