Sandals St. Vincent
Sandals St. Vincent sits in a sheltered cove on the southwest coast of Saint Vincent, surrounded by forested mountains, a river and the Caribbean Sea. This adults-only, all-inclusive resort has a distinctly different setting from many of the other Sandals properties, with contemporary accommodations, expansive grounds and an emphasis on the island’s natural surroundings.
The accommodations are a major draw, particularly the two-story overwater villas, beachfront villas with private pools and suites designed for couples who appreciate additional privacy. With 12 dining concepts and four pools, there’s plenty to enjoy on property, but we’d also encourage guests to make time for the island itself.
Saint Vincent is an excellent starting point for exploring the Grenadines, particularly for couples interested in sailing, snorkeling and Caribbean island-hopping. Bequia, Mustique and Canouan offer opportunities to turn a Sandals vacation into a longer multi-island itinerary. Our Grenadines destination guide is a useful starting point for planning the rest of your trip.

Overview of Sandals St. Vincent: A Mini-Guide
Sandals St. Vincent combines contemporary accommodations with a setting surrounded by mountains, forest and water. Its two-story overwater villas, private-pool accommodations and spacious grounds make it particularly appealing to couples looking for something different from a traditional beachfront resort.
The location is also a major advantage for travelers who want to experience more of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. We recommend considering a sailing excursion or adding a few nights on another island, particularly if you’re interested in exploring the Grenadines beyond the resort.
Accommodations at Sandals St. Vincent
Sandals St. Vincent offers some distinctive accommodation styles, ranging from contemporary swim-up suites to beachfront villas with private pools and two-story overwater villas. We recommend comparing the categories carefully, particularly if you’re deciding between direct pool access, a private pool or an overwater setting.
• Vincy Overwater Two-Story Villas: These two-story villas sit above the water in a sheltered cove, with outdoor lounging areas and rooftop decks. They’re worth considering for couples who want a distinctive overwater experience.

Good to Know Before You Book
Sandals St. Vincent is worth considering for its accommodations and natural setting, but it’s important to understand the location before booking. Saint Vincent is less developed for tourism than some other Caribbean islands, and exploring the Grenadines requires additional planning. We’d recommend deciding early whether you want to spend your entire vacation at the resort or combine it with a few nights elsewhere.
• Getting There: Argyle International Airport is approximately a 45-minute drive from the resort. Flight options may be more limited than those serving larger Caribbean destinations.
• Room Selection: Overwater villas, private-pool villas and swim-up suites offer very different experiences. Compare the exact categories before booking.
• Island Excursions: Trips to Bequia, Mustique and other Grenadine islands require separate arrangements. Travel times and availability depend on your destination, transportation and weather.
• Overwater Villa Transfers: Butler-level guests receive complimentary boat transfers where offered by the resort. Confirm the arrangements for your exact room category.
If you’re planning a longer trip, our Grenadines destination guide can help you explore other islands and accommodation options.
