Raffles Resort Canouan Island is located
on Canouan Island in the heart of the Grenadines in the southeastern
Caribbean. The resort is set on 300 acres of a 1,200 acre private
estate featuring three secluded white sand beaches, all surrounded
by one of the world’s largest coral reefs. The new Raffles Resort is
amphitheatrically set around the protected bay with each of the 156
single and double-storey luxury villas offering breathtaking views.
High on a hill overlooking the
northern Grenadines, with sweeping views over the resort and the
reef, is the exclusive Villa Monte Carlo. Located here will be the
European-style casino - Trump Club Privee, La Varenne - a European
gourmet restaurant, as well as an elegant ballroom for private

truly in the heart of The Grenadines, a region known for its
unsurpassed sailing, marine life and Caribbean charm. Located just 110
miles west off Barbados, Canouan Island is a short flight away from
the other Grenadine Islands of Mustique, Bequia, Petit St. Vincent,
and the Tobago keys.
The island's 3
square miles are dotted with lush green rolling hills, secluded white
sand beaches and one of the world's largest coral reefs, which is home
to an amazing array of fish and corrals, which offer excellent
snorkeling and scuba diving. With a population of only 900 residents,
Canouan Island is an intimately friendly and welcoming island paradise
for those seeking a sophisticated and idyllic Carribbean getaway.

difference at Raffles Resort Canouan Island is the size of the
accommodations. Each of our guestrooms have an area of no less than
560 square feet and all have private covered patios or terraces with
comfortable lounge chairs and prime views overlooking the beach and

trans-ethnic cuisine bring a new meaning to all day dining. All
dishes are created in true Raffles style, cooked to perfection and
