Heart of the Grenadine

The dream of a private, exclusive world surrounded by the splendid sea of the southern Antilles, a refuge from a world surrounded by uncontaminated nature, endowed with an enormously varied landscape of green hills, romantically secluded bays and long beaches of pearly white sand.

The island is partially surrounded by the coral reef on the Atlantic side, which adds protection to many of the beaches. Endless expanses of fine sand, its gleaming white in dramatic contrast to the strong colors of the luxuriant vegetation and tropical sea await those who seek a solitary encounter with nature.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines lie at 60° 56’ West longitude and 13° 15’ North latitude, approximately 1,600 miles south-east of Miami. St. Vincent is the largest of the more than 30 islands that comprise the nation, covering roughly 150 square miles. The Grenadines extend 45 miles to the south-west, like a kite’s tail.

The spell of Canouan Island is immediate. An elixir for the senses, the air filled with a mythical infusion. Visual delights of hypnotic emerald waves foaming atop surrounding coral as they make their way to sugar-sand beaches. An invisible perfume nourishes the body, mind and spirit whilst hummingbirds pollinate bougainvillea and orchid b­lossoms. The interplay of color glitters like rare jewels. In the heart of the Grenadines archipelago and maintaining a sense of lush privacy, Canouan Island is blessed to be located off the main hurricane paths in the southeast Caribbean. Boasting a new airport runway perfect for private jets, a natural harbor for personal yachts, and commercially accessibile through more developed nearby islands, Canouan is uniquely positioned for the discerning.

Luminosity embraces this tranquil island of natural Caribbean beauty. Part of the Windward Islands in the southern Antilles, Canouan heralds the mystique of treasured underwater sea life stocked with boundless varieties, a peaceful domain of serendipity waiting to be explored. Sweeping bays play host to spectacular beaches that embrace each contour of this bird of paradise-shaped island. Islanders fish the abundant waters in traditional wooden boats, harvesting prize catch-of-the-day of tuna, parrotfish, and grouper. Underwater aficionados from every outpost of the world confirm these emerald waters contain the finest coral conditions in the Caribbean.
