Canouan Island, situated in the Grenadines is a true tropical paradise, until recently virtually untouched by the hand of commercialization. Located eight miles south of Mustique and 110 miles southwest of Barbados, it forms a part of the multi-island State of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The lovely island is bordered by small bays and coves, pristine white beaches and one of the world's most expansive living coral reefs. Unforgettable snorkeling and diving experiences are another aspect of Canouan's diverse pleasures. Yacht charters are also available to explore the dazzling beauty of the area.
Raffles Canouan Resort, a premier resort hotel, is located on a private estate on Canouan Island. It offers luxury accommodation, a spa, an 18 hole golf course and a casino. The hotel is easily reached via Barbados, one of the most accessible airports in the Caribbean. Raffles International based in Singapore has established a strong reputation for luxury and the highest standards of service.
Raffles Canouan will commence a new chapter in 2010, positioning itself with a new focus in the luxury market. Raffles will re-orient the property as an 88 room all-suite resort, with meals included in the room rates, and providing inter island transfers for its guests.
“We have addressed the needs of our clientele by shifting the product,” states Wayne Kafcsak, the General Manager of Raffles Canouan. “Today's traveller wants to pair value with luxury, and we can achieve that through a more intimate, refurbished room inventory, inclusive pricing and easier access to our private island destination.”
Raffles will focus on its best 88 suites for the coming season. Nightly rates will include all meals for two persons, and guests who stay five nights or more will be eligible for free of charge round-trip flight transfers from Barbados or Martinique to Canouan Island. Additionally the popular ‘Personality Suites' will include private concierge service and an upgrade to Raffles Jet flight transfers.
Raffles Canouan will undoubtedly retain its position as a premier
luxury resort in the Caribbean. This picturesque island and
the Grenadines resort is a traveller's dream destination, the experience of a lifetime.
