A Luxurious New Sandals Resort Brings Vacationers to an Untouched Caribbean Paradise
If you’re looking for an excuse to check another Caribbean island off your bucket list, do it this year with Sandals. The esteemed resort brand just debuted a new resort in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, considered one of the few destinations in the Caribbean that is still largely unspoiled, especially when compared to its busy, built-up island neighbors. Meet Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, hidden away in what can only be called a true Caribbean paradise.
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines sits along a pristine white sand beachfront and is nestled among soaring mountainsides that look straight out of Jurassic Park, hiding lush forests filled with tropical biodiversity. Its location is a slice of paradise that imbues the property with the feel of an exclusive retreat.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
It’s the resort group’s 18th property, but the first one in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a Caribbean island nation known for its lush, largely untouched jungle ecosystems, colorful reefs, and beautiful beaches. The main island of Saint Vincent—where the resort is located—and the chain of more than 30 tiny islands known as the Grenadines are relatively untouristy spots with an authentic island feel that many other Caribbean destinations lost years ago.
Pool Time
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is anchored by a stunning 300-foot linear pool and surrounded by loungers and cabanas for long, lazy days spent enjoying the sun, with sea and sand just steps away.
Beach Days
“With its dramatic blues and incredible beauty, the Caribbean Sea was meant to be explored. But at more than a million square miles, it was also meant to be discovered,” said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International.
Deep Connection
“Sandals Saint Vincent unveils a little-known wonder we are proud to bring forward, not only for its show-stopping beauty but for the warmth and grace of its people,” continued Stewart. “There is a joy here that pulses throughout and beyond 32 incredible islands. Sandals Saint Vincent was designed to honor that spirit, encouraging carefree exploration, pampered relaxation, and deep connection.”
Sleek and Serene
The new property offers 301 rooms and suites across its impressive 50-acre property. Its sleek, serene design is meant to highlight the natural beauty of its beachfront location.
Relaxation Retreat
One of the resort’s most popular spaces is its Red Lane® Spa. The soothing space offers an extensive menu of treatments using locally sourced products like the island’s unique volcanic sand to exfoliate and detoxify.
Spa-Like Serenity
The resort’s soothing, spa-like feel doesn’t stop after the spa treatment. Spacious rooms and suites throughout the resort are thoughtfully designed to encourage relaxation in every moment of a stay.
Rooms and Suites
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines offers a variety of room and suite options that include luxe amenities, like private pools or beachfront access, ranging from beachfront villas to swim-up suites.
Overwater Villas
The resort is also introducing its Vincy Overwater Two-Story Villas, a first for the Sandals brand. These villas will offer an expansive private retreat over the waves and include exclusive resort perks like a reserved table at the resort’s signature restaurant, Buccan.
Dazzling Destination
At Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the destination is among the most brilliant luxury, with an extensive array of opportunities to experience the richness of the resort property and the rest of the island. Interactive classes and tastings highlight the region’s rich culinary heritage, numerous biking and walking paths crisscross the resort grounds, and gardens rich with local flora allow guests to get a taste of the bounty of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without even leaving the property.
Island Adventures
Kayaking excursions to Buccament Bat Caves, unlimited scuba diving and snorkeling, and all-included water sports are highlights of an adventurous afternoon at the resort, part of the Sandals’ promise of “unlimited fun for everyone.”
Explore Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Guests looking to explore the rest of the island are in luck, too. Excursions like waterfall hikes through the jungle, visits to black sand beaches, and sailing excursions across the waves are just a few of the ways to enjoy.
Caribbean Cuisine
A commitment to highlighting the flavors of the island carries through to the resort’s culinary offering as well, which provides a mix of local and Caribbean fare with international flavors and inspiration to appeal to all guests.
A Culinary Getaway
The resort is home to eleven different restaurants and bars, five of which are brand new to the Sandals brand. Everything from fine dining to casual beach club fare awaits, with an eye to the freshest local ingredients and island cooking techniques at every turn.
Buccan
One of the most exciting culinary experiences of the resort is at Buccan, an immersive, family-style restaurant guests access via a lush jungle pathway. Meals are prepared in local clay yabba pots, which become central to the experience at this first solid fuel restaurant of its kind in the region, where local cedar and coconut husks are turned into coal to produce flavorful “Vincy” fare.
Sandals Firsts
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines offers a spectacular welcome to an island few visitors have yet to explore, from a stunning location designed to be felt and experienced. Whether guests are long-time Sandals return guests or have never visited a Sandals resort before, it’s a vacation experience not to be missed.
