Raffles Resort Canouan Island, Resort Hotel Vacations, Honeymoons and Travel Packages

Raffles Resort Canouan Island is located on Canouan Island in the heart of The Grenadines in the south-eastern Caribbean. The resort is set on 300 acres of a 1200-acre private estate featuring three secluded, white sand beaches, all surrounded by one of the world's largest coral reefs. The Raffles Resort is set amphitheatre style around the protected bay with each of the 156 single and double story 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 is Trump Club Privee - the European-style casino, La Varenne - a European gourmet restaurant, and an elegant ballroom for private functions.

One defining difference at Raffles Resort Canouan Island is the size of the accommodation. Each of our guest rooms has 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 sea.

Accommodation is either set on the Mezzanine Level, located on the top level of the resort's amphitheatre setting, or on the Orchestra Level, within the first four levels of the resort. This includes garden and ocean view rooms and suites with one, two or three bedrooms. In addition, our Personality Suites feature a private plunge pool.

Guest Rooms

All guest rooms feature air conditioning, ceiling fans, an array of pampering RafflesAmrita bath amenities, bathrobes and beach slippers, fully stocked refreshment bars, fresh flowers, in-room safe, satellite television, voicemail, CD players, wireless connection, working desks and separate outside entrances.

Suites

One- to three-bedroom suites feature spacious and comfortably appointed living rooms, separate bedrooms, large walk-in closets and guest bathrooms. Private swimming pools have also been added to our Personality Suites, and all Orchestra Suites feature flat-screen televisions in the living room.

Villas

Exteriors are painted in bright Caribbean hues of orange and yellows. Interiors are decorated with custom light wood furnishings, with fretted linens on netted four-poster beds and terracotta-tiled floors with throw accent covers. Bathrooms feature separate showers and soaking tubs, double vanities and hand-painted porcelain sinks and tiles.

Raffles Hotels & Resorts prides itself on its commitment to delivering exceptional culinary experiences to the guests of its hotels. Raffles Resort Canouan Island is no exception, with an outstanding selection of dining options at its European, Italian, poolside and beachside restaurants, each offering spectacular Caribbean views. The resort has seven distinct gourmet restaurants and bars offering a variety of cuisine.

La Piazza

A stylish Italian concept restaurant, La Piazza pampers guests with its sleek and contemporary design and trendy services. The highlights of this restaurant include a centrepiece work of art - a golden bowl suspended in the air - a three-storey wine cellar with one of the world's largest collections of Italian wines and superb views of the bay. The menu is a tantalising blend of authentic Tuscan cuisine, which features white Alba truffles and premium, aged Parmesan cheeses.

Jambu's

With a name of Sanskrit origin, this signature restaurant is a spectacular poolside, all-day dining venue with palapa roofing. Life is lived to the fullest when the bold flavours of the restaurant's trans-ethnic cuisine bring a new meaning to all-day dining.

La Varenne

Located at the Villa Monte Carlo, La Varenne offers panoramic views of the Caribbean, overlooking the resort and the islands of St Vincent & The Grenadines. This gourmet restaurant lends itself perfectly as an exclusive retreat within the island.

Godahl Beach Bar & Grill

This casual beachside bar and grill at Godahl Beach is a hot spot for guests during the day with its beautiful views of the ocean and unspoiled coral reefs.

Bellini's

Adjacent to La Piazza, Bellini's is the resort's signature bar. Cascading water features, as well as views of the golf course and Mount Royal, await guests while they enjoy a selection of fine cocktails and signature Bellinis, which are perfect complements to the delectable cuisine of La Piazza.

Jambu's Bar

This lounge and Martini Prosecco bar at the beachfront pool offers 88 different types of martini, including the resort's signature $300 martini, which comes with the ultimate souvenir - a 24-carat gold, handcrafted olive sword. Definitely a great start to each evening.

Pool Bar

Set distinctively in the centre of one of the Caribbean's longest outdoor pools, this swim-up bar is sheltered by exquisite palapa roofs. A lighter version of Jambu's à la carte menu is offered along with other poolside snacks. Caribbean cocktails complement the light fare.

Trump Club Privee

A revival of the long-forgotten tradition of European-style gaming in an elegantly exclusive venue has now been recreated in a building looking as though it were straight out of a James Bond film. Trump Club Privee, which is managed by Donald J Trump, features a private salon for members only. Villa Monte Carlo, where Trump Club Privee is located, features La Varenne, a European gourmet restaurant with stunning views, and a Grand Ballroom for exclusive private functions. Law prohibits persons under the age of 18 years.

Raffles Resort Canouan Island RafflesAmrita Spa

The name 'Amrita' is derived from an ancient Sanskrit legend in which, from the dawn of time, deities searched for amrita, an elixir that would grant them eternal youth. This mythical assurance of renewal is a promise that Raffles International delivers to every guest at its spas around the world.

Raffles Resort Canouan Island's signature RafflesAmrita Spa, which has been named 'Best of the Best' by the Robb Report, is located in one of the most spectacular natural settings on earth, inspired by the pristine elements of the Caribbean Sea - the winds, sounds and colours of the water.

Pure relaxation is our theme, along with treatments utilising the therapeutic benefits from the sea. Allow yourself the pleasure of nourishing treatments and exceptional care to rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.

The choice is yours; whether you prefer a view of the sea from one of the Caribbean's biggest swimming pools, or a swim in the crystal blue waters of the bay, or perhaps to gaze out lazily from your relaxing Asian day bed in the shade cast by a straw canopy. At Raffles Resort Canouan Island, you can do what you like.

Golf Course

The Trump International Golf Club, which has been named 'Best Golf Course' by the Robb Report, is where golfers will believe that they have found heaven on earth. It is home to the resort's challenging 18-hole, par 72 golf course, designed by Jim Fazio. Offering unparalleled views of the bay, the course stretches 60 acres along the sea front, half of which is built on the flat coastal plain and the other half of which is carved out of the hillside above the bay and the resort. Golf instruction, carts and rental clubs are available.
