Discover the dreamy paradise of Canouan Island where Savills offers the exclusive Patio Villas,
managed by Mandarin OrientalS
ailing aficionados recognise Canouan- a tiny paradise among the paradise
islands of the Grenadines – as a great
base to explore the chain of reef-
fringed idylls and white-beach coves of the
south-east Caribbean. Lying 15 nautical miles
from Mustique and a similar distance from
Bequia, this island of soft sands, mystical hills
and a community-driven population of 1,800
is protected on its Atlantic side by a coral
reef, thus ensuring calm, crystal-clear, warm
waters around its perimeter.
The island enjoys best-kept secret status.
Key to its exclusive appeal as an exquisite
playground retreat for the super-wealthy is
the FAA-approved, 5,900ft landing strip,
which can accommodate and park private jets
of all sizes, and a natural, deep-water harbour
with a 120-berth luxury superyacht marina.
Another highlight is the exhilarating 18-hole
Championship golf course designed by Jim
Fazio. Set on dramatic slopes along the ocean
edge, it is every world-class golfer’s dream.
In addition, Canouan has acquired extra
glamour and energy thanks to the Mandarin
Oriental Resort, the boutique-style Tamarind
Beach Hotel and the announcement that the
hip and trendy Soho House is set to establish
a presence, complete with yacht club. The
Aman hotel group also plan to add its
signature serenity to island life.
The dream, of course, is to have one’s
own villa on Canouan Island. The airport
and marina allow easy access for residents
of the hillside Patio Villas, designed by
Italian architects, and managed by Mandarin
Oriental. A sophisticated blend of indoor
and outdoor living spaces, the three-bedroom
Patio Villas with private infinity pool and
Jacuzzi overlook a mesmerising lagoon. Prices
on Canouan start at US$5m; the exclusive
Patio Villas are US$8.2m. Property is freehold.
Residents enjoy world-class amenities (spa,
watersports centre, tennis courts, kids’ club)and exceptional international cuisine and
vintage wines. Life on the Estate offers true
relaxation but with scope for a range of
activities. “You can arrive in your Gulfstream
G650, go kite surfing, and enjoy lobster ravioli
with a glass of wine on the beach,” says James
Burdess. “The beauty of the landing strip
makes it the premier get-away-from-it-all
resort for those with access to a private plane.”
