Sandals Saint Vincent: A Luxurious Getaway in an Unspoiled Caribbean Paradise

Sandals Saint Vincent

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sandals Saint Vincent in May 2024 for a corporate event, and I can confidently say this is one of the most impressive all-inclusive resorts I’ve ever visited. Having just opened in the late winter of 2024, at present it’s the largest and newest all-inclusive resort in Saint Vincent, set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop. Saint Vincent lies in the Lesser Antilles and is easily accessible via Argyle International Airport. Nestled on 50 acres of lush, mature tropical landscaping, the resort combines luxury, modern design, and untouched natural beauty to create a truly remarkable experience.

Overview of Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Sandals Saint Vincent is a luxurious, all-inclusive resort located on the picturesque island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This adults-only haven is nestled on a large private cove, bordered by a lush forest and a gently flowing river, offering breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. The resort’s pleasing design and beautiful beaches create an idyllic setting for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, strolling through the tropical gardens, or enjoying a sunset dinner by the sea, Sandals Saint Vincent promises an unforgettable experience for couples and honeymooners seeking a serene escape in paradise.

Expansive and Tranquil Setting

Sandals St. VincentWhen we visited the resort it was completely sold out. However, it never felt crowded. There was only one restaurant visit where we had to wait for a table. The resort is masterfully laid out, and the mature, exotic gardens create a sense of privacy and tranquility wherever you go. The mountain views that surround the resort add to the feeling of being in a hidden paradise, while the beautifully landscaped pathways and tropical greenery provide a constant connection to nature. Unlike other Caribbean islands, this resort offers a more tranquil and less crowded experience, making it a perfect alternative for those seeking a serene escape. With 301 rooms and suites spread across the property, the resort feels expansive and exclusive, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

Private Pool Accommodations

At the time of our visit there were 15 different room categories. The suites were as large as 1,728 sq. ft., and cozy rooms starting at 580 sq. ft. Butler Elite Service Suites, Club Suites (which include room service) are also available.

Our stay in the Beachfront Butler Villa Suite with Private Pool (BVGP) was exceptional. The villa was not only luxurious but also spacious enough for us to invite our friends over for a drink and dip in our private pool. The beachfront pool offered spectacular ocean views; relaxing by the pool with such a stunning backdrop was a highlight of our trip.

The other couples we traveled with also had great rooms. One stayed in the Lady Palm Club Swim-up Suite with Media Room and Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub (1SUP), which featured a swim-up pool and private media room to relax after a busy day. The other couple enjoyed the tranquility of the One-Bedroom Garden Butler Suite with Media Room and Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub (VH) surrounded by tropical gardens. Each suite was very comfortable, luxurious and spacious enough to share.

The Service

If you have a Butler Service Suite like we did, you will be met in the lobby by one of your butlers. Typically, you will have 2-4 butlers over the course of your stay. They will introduce you to your room and explain what they can do for you, how to get in touch with them, and will make reservations for dinners or the spa if you’d like. Even though reservations are not required at most restaurants, it feels good to have a great table waiting for you when you arrive. Sandals Resorts are renowned for their commitment to enhancing the travel experience and have a stellar reputation in the Caribbean.

Get to know your butlers by name, they are trustworthy, genuinely friendly and a great source of information to help you make the most of your vacation.

Moodern Design and Stylish Layout

What sets Sandals St. Vincent apart is its blend of modern design and elegant styling throughout. It feels clean and fresh. The sleek, stylish layout of the resort creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

We were lucky enough to see the Overwater Villas (OWV), which were still under construction during our visit. These stunning, two-story villas offer a unique and exclusive experience not to be missed. Sandals has created a gem in Saint Vincent—combining luxury, natural beauty, and innovative design.

An Unspoiled Paradise of Natural Beauty

Sunset at Sandals St Vincent and the GrenadinesOne of the most memorable experiences of our stay was the Catamaran snorkeling excursion to Bequia Island in the Grenadines. Saint Vincent is the gateway to the Grenadines, a collection of 32 islands and over 1,000 islets. The region is an unspoiled paradise, and the waters around Bequia were crystal-clear, perfect for snorkeling. The colorful coral reefs and abundant marine life made the trip unforgettable. St. Vincent and the Grenadines stands out among Caribbean islands for its scenic beauty, less touristy nature, and accessible adventures, offering a unique experience for visitors. Some of the excursions available include:
  • Whale & Dolphin Watching
  • Private Golf in Canouan (Named one of the Top
  • 10 Golf Courses in the World)
  • Tobago Cays Snorkeling Trip including Union
  • Island and Mayreau
  • La Soufriere Sunset Cruise
  • Scuba Diving
  • Deep Sea Fishing
  • Island Hopping
  • Custom and private experiences… Just ask us!
Not to mention ATV tours, hiking to waterfalls, and even shopping! My wife said she wanted to go shopping in town, which can be accomplished quite easily. Given that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are the “Critter Capital of the World”, diving here is some of the best in all the Caribbean. Snorkeling and diving (for certified divers) is included with your stay and Sandals has an affordable PADI certification program that has graduated over 140,000 divers. Closer to shore…we also enjoyed a bit of excitement when we took out a Hobie Cat for some sailing at the resort. While we were having a great time, the wind unexpectedly stalled, and we found ourselves drifting toward the rocks. Thankfully, the resort’s Water Sports staff was quick to respond and towed us back to safety. They were professional, attentive and fun loving. And yes, we provided free entertainment for our friends on the beach who were betting if we would make it back by lunch…or dinner. It was dinner.

Guests can also explore the picturesque town of Kingstown, with its charming streets and historic Fort Charlotte, or take a boat tour to the nearby Grenadines islands.

What our Agents Have to Say

When I asked Susie, one of our travel companions, what she thought of our visit to Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, she laughed, and said, “Are you kidding me! Where do I start?”

  • First of all, to say the people of Saint Vincent are very friendly is an understatement, it’s like going on vacation with your favorite friends and neighbors, we made friends with the staff from day one.
  • Getting there from the airport takes a bit, but if you get a butler room you can sign up for a water taxi. The trip down the river only takes about 20 minutes. How cool is that?
  • The resort itself has this Hawaii feel with lush mountain peaks in the background. The resort is laid out nicely and nothing is too far of a walk. And there are bicycles to use at will throughout the resort…it just feels good.
  • Most of the pools that I saw faced the ocean. The main infinity pool is long and gorgeous. The private pools in the villas walk right out to the beach.
  • I’ve already booked clients into the Overwater Villas. They are two-story, modern-styled, and have their own tranquility soaking tubs for two that face the ocean.
  • Other innovations include media rooms, swim-ups and fitness guest rooms that are all very spacious.
  • There is also a beautiful over-the-water wedding chapel. I can’t wait to book my first wedding there.
  • The food is amazing. Dinner at Buccan is not to be missed – it is a smallish outdoor family style restaurant with 3 stone cooking, local Vincy ingredients from the sea and farms, all roasted and grilled from an open kitchen. There were several courses. Make sure you sip as the locals do with different rums and mixes.
  • If you go to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, you have to get out and see the sights. We took a day trip into the Grenadine Islands and I’m looking forward to going back. There are excursions to the active Volcano, lots of diving and snorkeling trips, rainforest hikes, sunset sailing and whale watching.

We all loved this trip – and you will too! Contact me and I’ll help you make this a trip you won’t forget.
