Mandarin Oriental will rebrand and manage a hotel on Canouan Island in Saint Vincent and The Grenadines from 1 November.

Mandarin Oriental, Canouan will be the group’s first property in the Caribbean, and will be located on a five-square-mile island dedicated to leisure pursuits, including sailing, kayaking, diving, fishing, tennis and hiking, as well as golf.

The spa at the resort includes nine treatment bungalows, including seven for couples. Two of the couples’ bungalows are situated over the water with a glass floor to watch fish swim by, according to Jeremy McCarthy, Mandarin Oriental’s group director of spa and wellness.

The seven bungalows that are not over the water are nestled into the hillside with “spectacular ocean views” and accessible by a funicular tram. The spa also includes a yoga pavilion and a small hair and nail studio.

A portfolio of new Residences at Mandarin Oriental will be located near the hotel and are scheduled to be available in 2020.
