HONG KONG—Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has plans to rebrand and manage a luxury hotel, currently operating on Canouan island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Nov. 1. Mandarin Oriental, Canouan will be the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s first property in the Caribbean.
The island, which is five sq. miles in total, offers sailing, kayaking, diving, fishing, tennis and hiking, as well as golf at an 18-hole Jim Fazio-designed golf course. The hotel comprises 26 suites and 12 three- to four-bedroom villas.
All suites and villas have full ocean views, and each villa comes with a large private pool, a short distance from the ocean. A variety of restaurants and bars provide a range of cuisines and al fresco dining. Elsewhere on the property, there is an outdoor infinity pool, a spa and health club, with two overwater treatment cabanas accessible by boat.
The group will also brand and manage a portfolio of new Residences at Mandarin Oriental to be located near the hotel and scheduled to be available in 2020.
“We are delighted to be introducing the Mandarin Oriental brand to the Caribbean, and to be bringing the Group’s legendary service and quality standards to the beautiful island of Canouan,” said James Riley, CEO of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. “We look forward to introducing guests to what we believe will become the Caribbean’s most exclusive luxury getaway,” he added.
