Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has opened its doors.

The beautiful new resort has views straight to the Caribbean Sea, and offers guests a nature-forward experience big on island inspiration and ‘Sandals Firsts’, from built-in programming celebrating the island’s illustrious botanical gardens to the introduction of new dining concepts like Buccan, a large-format style dining experience that creates conversation and connection over locally harvested food roasted in an open hearth.

This is the 18th resort for Sandals and its first in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The property offers 301 rooms and suites across 50 lush acres.

A 300-foot linear pool connects the flora-framed lobby terrace to the horizon. Along the way, cabanas and cocktails beckon, with three other pools set among lush vegetation.

The resort’s Vincy Overwater Two-Story Villas, a pioneering concept for the brand, feature expansive spaces spanning two storeys above the sea, as well as dedicated villa perks including an exclusive table at Buccan.

Beachfront Villas meanwhile offer a tranquil retreat steps from the sand. Many of the resort’s suites also feature elevated amenities – from a dedicated media room and private pool to a personal fitness room with exercise bikes, yoga mats and a library of fitness classes. The brand’s signature butler service adds an additional level of luxury.

For dining, Sandals Saint Vincent has 11 culinary concepts, including five that are new to the brand. In addition to the immersive family-style, open-air culinary journey that is Buccan, there’s also Scrimshaw, a venue that taps into the island’s abundant access to fresh seafood. Parisol is an open-air beach club and kitchen, and Imoro, a Sandals First ‘grab-and-go’ concept, is named after the Arawak term for ‘green,’ serving up healthy, veggie-focused bowls.

At night, hand-picked vinyl classics provide the perfect sound experience at Three Jewels rum bar, with a selection of 32 rums inspired by the destination’s 32 islands within 32 miles. It’s one of five bars around the resort.
