Along with beautiful un-spoilt scenery,the island claims some of the best beaches in the Caribbean – long stretches of powder-white sands, and is surrounded by wide shallows and coral – a scuba divers dream. The island stretches over 11 sq km (7.9 sq miles) and has three hotels: the Mandarin Oriental, Soho House and Sandy Lane Marina and Villas. Any visit to Canouan has to include a visit to this truly majestic property.
