The island oasis of Canouan will roll out the red carpet for the fall launch of its 5-star, ultra-luxe Pink Sands Club, Canouan. Located in the heart of St. Vincent and the Grenadines within the southeastern Caribbean, Canouan (meaning 'island of tortoises'), is known for its lush green hills, secluded white sand beaches and one of the world's largest living coral reefs. The stunning three square mile island will soon become home to a collection of three properties:
Set on the picturesque Godahl Beach, The Pink Sands Club, Canouan's 26 suites and six villas offer striking ocean views and are decorated in the Club's signature classic style with pink accents, cool marble, cream fabrics and dark woods. Each room boasts state-of-the-art technology like touch-screen tablets to manage guest experience and televisions discreetly embedded in a mirrored sliding door. Other amenities include personal golf carts per suite, king beds fitted with Pratesi linens, walk-in closets, WiFi, complimentary refreshment bars, Nespresso coffee and tea makers, en suite marble bathrooms with double vanities, separate rainfall shower and soaking tub.
The Spa offers both Caribbean-inspired and exclusive ESPA treatments, from its nine hillside and two overwater palapas with captivating views through their glass-bottom floors.
Ranked one of the Top 10 'Best Golf Courses in the world' by Robb Report, the stunning Jim Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course will not disappoint. With 150 undulating acres of dramatic vistas from every angle, it's truly every world-class golfer's dream.
For the ultimate epicurean experience, a bountiful selection of restaurants whet guests appetites including: stylish all-day dining venue Romeo; Lagoon Café, an elegant beach house-style bar and restaurant; Juliet, sophisticated ambience of a member's club with two private dining rooms; and Pool Bar, a relaxed poolside venue serving light and healthy options.
