Boat International US Edition — February 2018

VOYAGE

The emerald islands and glittering

turquoise seas of the Grenadines have

been a celebrity favorite for decades,

and Canouan is the jewel in this

Caribbean crown. Located at the

northern end of the island, and strung

along the blindingly white Godhal

Beach, lie the 26 colonial-style suites and six four-

bedroom Lagoon Villas of the Pink Sands Club. Cruise

into the island’s recently opened Glossy Bay Marina or

arrive via jet on the private runway, before being

whisked to the resort. Recently taken over by Mandarin

Oriental in the chain’s first foray into the Caribbean,

the property combines old school charm with state-of-

the-art technology – use your in-room iPad to set the

temperature or order a rum cocktail. Ideal for golf

lovers who can play on the Jim Fazio-designed golf

course, its green fairways are lined with tropical flower

borders and all 18 holes provide spectacular ocean

views. And the sport doesn’t end there, with three

floodlit tennis courts, a mountain cycling circuit and

guided hikes to Mount Royal. mandarinoriental.com
