Located on the powder-white Godahl Beach in Carenage Bay, Canouan Island, this Mandarin Oriental property accommodates just 26 suites and 13 villas. Each “room” comes with iPad controls, a marble bathroom and 24-hour butler service; some (perched on the edge of the beach) allow you to fling open French doors and take a breath of direct sea air, or to dine on your private terrace. Take a four or eight-hour journey at Castaway, a restaurant without walls, or six other eateries, including a seafood restaurant, a grill, a pool diner and a lounge modelled on the Hamptons. The hotel also has a cocktail bar, a hillside spa and shops onsite.
