Tamarind Beach Hotel & Yacht Club

St Vincent & the Grenadines


Giant thatched-roof buildings stand guard over the beach and invite you in for pure relaxation. Elegant rooms, accented with white walls and chocolate-colored hardwood, entice the visitor and make it hard to return to the daily grind. The beach is right out front of every room and suite and, as is typical for Canouan, it’s a fine strip of sand.

Service is warm and professional throughout the resort. At time of research Tamarind had been taken over by an international boutique chain and is likely to be rebranded. Call ahead.
