Chief Operating Officer
Q&A
Q: What makes this remote location
so spectacular?
A: This
boutique island with 200 acres of
lush hills, secluded white beaches
and surrounded by one of the world's
largest reefs is one of the
Caribbean's best kept secrets.
Raffles Canouan covers 80% of the
island, making this resort a very
special private island retreat.
Its generous accommodations are set
up in an amphitheatre style, many
with private pools and extraordinary
views.
The options are endless at Raffles
Canouan from eclectic dining, Trump
International Golf Course and Trump
Casino, invigorating spa
experiences, to water sports, Sugar
Palm Kids Club, to excursions to
nearby islands, there is literally
something for everyone.
On Laurie's Must Do List:
Take advantage of our exclusive $50
Daily Resort Credit and indulge in
a spa treatment. Be pampered with
detoxifying treatments at the sound
of the ocean's breeze at Raffles
Amrita Spa, the only spa in the
Caribbean with overwater spa
pavilions.
