The Pink Sands Club is located on Canouan Island, (pronounced Ka – No – Wan) in The Grenadines. The 26-suite, 20-villa hotel will set a new benchmark for a Caribbean archipelago already synonymous with ultra-exclusive hideaways. The hotel will showcase classic architecture, glamorous interiors and cutting-edge technology as well as superb leisure and dining facilities.

Canouan Island is accessed via a short Private Jet transfer from Barbados or other nearby islands. The transfer is approximately 25 minutes from Barbados to Canouan. For guests staying in one of the Suites, every advance booking for a 7 night stay includes a complimentary round trip transfer. When staying in one of the villas, a hotel or transfer credit is included within the booking.

The 26 suites and 6 hotel villas all offer beautiful ocean views and are decorated in the club's signature classic style with pink colour accents, cool marble, cream fabrics and dark woods. Each room benefits from state-of-the-art technology including touch-screen tablet devices that manage every aspect of the guest experience from setting optimum room temperatures to reviewing resort services. A television, discreetly mounted on a mirrored sliding door opposite the bed, moves aside at the touch of a button to reveal the turquoise lagoon beyond. Other facilities include his-and-hers walk-in closets, wireless internet, full honour bars, Nespresso coffee and tea makers, as well as ensuite marble bathrooms with double vanities, separate baths and showers.

The remaining villas (14 Lagoon Villas and Residences) already located on the panoramic hillside above Shell Beach on the 1200-acre estate, contribute to the estate's wide-ranging accommodation choices. Each villa has between two to six bedrooms, kitchen facilities, floor-to-ceiling windows opening out onto generous sun terraces and their own infinity-edge swimming pools. Private Chefs are available, as well as a 'Platinum Package' which includes all meals.

On-site leisure facilities include an infinity-edge swimming pool with 3-tier tanning deck and a spa offering both Caribbean-inspired and exclusive ESPA treatments from its 9 hillside and 2 overwater palapas. Palapas remain unique in the Caribbean, only accessible by boat and offering captivating views of the fish-filled lagoon through their glass-bottom floors.

Other leisure facilities offered throughout the estate include non-motorised water sports, a floodlit tennis centre, an air-conditioned Technogym fitness centre and complimentary children and teens' clubs for 3 to 18 year-olds. The spectacular Jim Fazio-designed golf course is available for all guests. For those wishing to explore the island, golf carts and bicycles are available, and escorted jeep tours and guided hikes up the 240m (787 ft) Mount Royal, can be scheduled if desired. A flotilla of yachts, catamarans and powerboats offer trips to nearby islands, including the world-famous Tobago Cays.

The stylish all-day dining venue Romeo offers an authentic global menu with tables overlooking an open kitchen. Mediterranean-fare is offered at the beach house-style Lagoon Café and light and healthy options can be found at the swim-up Pool Bar. Turtles resident's lounge is perfect for relaxing cocktails or cappuccinos, whilst Shell Beach is for those seeking a light bite conveniently close to the Lagoon Villas and Residences. The more refined dining restaurant, Juliet, offers the sophisticated ambience of a member's club with two private dining rooms complemented by both the indoor and terrace seating.

The launch of The Pink Sands Club completes phase 1 of the 're-imagining of Canouan Island', a 3-year project costing in excess of US$120,000 million. The additional developments phases include a marina and additional small luxury hotels.
