A First Look At Sandals Saint Vincent And The Grenadines
When it opens its doors and welcomes its first guests on March 27, 2024, Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines will mark the ninth Caribbean destination and 18th Sandals resort for Sandals Resorts International (SRI).
Now open for reservations, the more than 50-acre resort unlocks an entirely new island experience that invites guests to bask in its unspoiled beauty with Two-Story Overwater Villas, meandering rivers and other sensational “Sandals Firsts.”
Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, observed that: “This resort is a dream more than two decades in the making – from the moment we laid eyes on Vincy, as the locals lovingly call her, we felt this sense of magic and wonder and awe so palpable you could almost touch it,” said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International.”
Part of the lesser Antilles and close to the neighbouring islands of Saint Lucia and Grenada, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines is home to a collection of 32 islands and cays that offer exotic landscapes with natural delights, from its rushing rivers to the rolling highlands and volcanic peaks – coveted as a secluded Eastern Caribbean gem. Originally conceived as a Beaches – SRI’s family-friendly brand – the resort’s very location within a serene valley revealed its adult appeal and destiny to join the Sandals family.
Said Stewart: “A true diamond of a place, she meets every possibility to deliver an exceptional experience worthy of her very site. Handpicked for its stunning location within an alluring west-facing valley, mere moments away from untouched cays, cliffside caves and coves, our guests will soon loll in the beauty of Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines.”
Gary C. Sadler, Executive Vice President of Sales and Industry Relations for Unique Vacations, Inc., pointed out that: “In Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, travel advisors will find a true partner, as her beauty goes far beyond a stunning landscape.”
Sadler continued: “Here, visitors will be enveloped by a local culture that radiates warmth and exudes an inspiring joy of life. We are confident that Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines will captivate guests and look forward to working with travel advisors to showcase this untouched destination.”
‘Next Level’ Accommodations
Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines will offer 301 superbly appointed rooms and the portfolio’s most expansive suites to date, with Two-Bedroom Butler Villas spanning across the waterfront – a “Sandals First.” Interiors throughout feature special biophilic elements and the warmth of local volcanic materials, and views intentionally framing the unique flora. Vincy Overwater Two-Story Villas – another “Sandals First” – reimagine Sandals’ iconic suites, with an evolved design across two stories built directly atop the sea, complete with a rooftop outdoor lounge with views as far as the eye can see. Select villas and suites throughout the resort up the ante with a dedicated space for movie nights in and private fitness rooms with Technogym equipment, athletic programming and an assortment of free weights.
Dining: All That’s Fresh
Surrounded by bountiful local fresh herbs, produce, fish and even one of the largest cattle farms in the Caribbean, dining at Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines will bring the local agriculture forward for guests to savour across 16 food and beverage concepts. As the brand’s first communal-style restaurant, Buccan’s menu of seasonal platters meant for sharing will be complemented by an action-packed open kitchen. Imoro, an all-new grab and go concept named for the local indigenous word for ‘green,’ will serve healthy bowls best enjoyed waterside. Local materials, playful patterns and tropical plants will adorn Three Jewels, a rum bar (and ode to the flag of Saint Vincent and The Grenadines) serving Eastern Caribbean rums as well as new creations ranging from zero-proof to spirit-forward, all served to the sounds of Caribbean vinyl classics. Parisol, an open-air beach club and kitchen, will serve small plates near the water before transforming into a high-end evening destination for cocktails, music and picturesque sunset views.
Vincy Daze
A focal point from the open-air lobby, a 300-foot linear pool appears to meet the horizon, flanked by posh cabanas and Swim-Up Bar access. An adjacent crescent-shaped pool invites guests to lounge and swim under the Saint Vincent sun, while Parisol’s double crescent infinity-edge pool hugs the sand and overlooks the bay. Built along the riverside, the sound of flowing water will surround Red Lane Spa cabanas to really connect guests with the serene outdoors. Beyond the sand, the destination’s prime location on the Atlantic shelf makes it one of the Caribbean’s most abundant with local fish, with the all-inclusive resort as a gateway to incredible snorkeling and scuba diving – and other exploration opportunities galore.
