The showstoppers in Canouan aren’t high-rise hotels or orchestrated tourist attractions, but rather stretches of empty roads that reveal the ocean at every turn, and one of the largest barrier reefs in the Caribbean.
The view from a villa at the Mandarin Oriental CanouanUpon my arrival, a 15-minute drive from the small airport led to, a 1,200-acre property tucked away on a cliffside, like an island to itself. The hotel is as secluded as it is eye-catching, with pops of pink and white around the grounds that create a vibrancy to match the glowing turquoise ocean that serves as the property’s backyard.
We stopped on the island of Mayreau—the smallest inhabited island of the Grenadines, covering about half a square mile with a population just under 300. The word “remote” is overused in reference to islands, but here, it truly does feel as though we’ve docked in a place without ties to time or anything beyond its shores. The only way to get here is by chartered boat, and the placid getaway remains uncluttered with just one hotel and guesthouse on the entire island.
