In the enchanting realm of luxury Caribbean resorts, Sandals has just unveiled a new gem, a treasure tucked away in the pristine beauty of Saint Vincent and The Grenadines. Scheduled to open its doors on March 27, 2024, this resort is a testament to over two decades of dreams and visions.
Set amidst lush rainforests and framed by azure waters, the resort spans more than 50 acres, offering guests a unique island experience. With Two-Story Overwater Villas, meandering rivers, and a host of "Sandals Firsts," it promises an adventure like no other. "This resort is a dream more than two decades in the making," says Adam Stewart, the executive chairman of Sandals Resorts International. From the moment they set their eyes on the island, known locally as "Vincy," there was a sense of magic and wonder that beckoned. It's a dream that's now about to become reality.
Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, a coveted gem in the Eastern Caribbean, boasts 32 islands and cays, offering landscapes of rushing rivers, rolling highlands, and volcanic peaks. Originally conceived as a Beaches Resort, the family-friendly brand of Sandals Resorts International, it was soon apparent that this serene valley had a greater allure for adults. "This true diamond of a place meets every possibility to deliver an exceptional experience worthy of her very site," Stewart affirms. The location, nestled within a captivating west-facing valley, is just moments away from untouched cays, cliffside caves, and hidden coves.
At Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, travelers will discover a true partner in this Caribbean paradise. Beyond the stunning landscapes, they will be embraced by a local culture radiating warmth and an inspiring joy of life. It's a destination waiting to captivate guests and a promise to travel advisors to showcase this untouched paradise. As for accommodations, the resort will offer 301 rooms, including the most spacious suites ever in the Sandals portfolio. Among them, two-bedroom butler villas along the waterfront, a first for Sandals, await. The interiors are adorned with biophilic elements and local volcanic materials, offering views that frame the unique flora. The Vincy Overwater two-story villas are an evolution of Sandals' iconic suites, perched above the sea and crowned with a rooftop outdoor lounge.
Dining at Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines will be a culinary journey that highlights local agriculture. With 16 food and beverage concepts, guests will savor flavors from the region. Buccan, the brand's first communal-style restaurant, features seasonal platters meant for sharing and an open kitchen. Imoro, a grab-and-go concept, serves healthy bowls by the water. Three Jewels, a rum bar, offers Eastern Caribbean rums and new creations, accompanied by the sounds of Caribbean vinyl classics. Parisol, an open-air beach club and kitchen, serves small plates by the water during the day and transforms into a high-end evening destination for cocktails and picturesque sunset views.
