"Ticking off the boxes for both a historic chapel and tropical climate, Canouan Estate's church offers a unique spin on tying the knot. The original structure was built in 17th-century England, later dismantled, then transferred to the island and reconstructed stone by stone in the early 1800s. The non-denominational chapel now sits among lush, leafy palms and holds between 50 to 80 guests. Up until recently, the island has long been considered a best-kept secret, but has quickly become a Caribbean favorite thanks to its convenient location, unobstructed mountainsides, and luxurious accommodations and wellness facilities (don’t miss the overwater spas at the Mandarin Oriental Canouan)." - Nicole Kliest
"Luxurious and five-star, this resort sits on Canouan." - Taryn White
"A luxury beachfront Mandarin Oriental property situated on an isle noted for wild tortoises; guests can explore the hotel's Godahl Beach setting before kayaking over to the picturesque Shell Beach, and can take in panoramic water views from Mount Royal—positioned as a high-end base for both beach and island exploration." - Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton is a journalist, editor, speaker, and former Guardian columnist.

"A palatial, all-suite retreat on a large private estate, featuring very spacious accommodations (rooms start around 1,300 square feet) and direct access to the Caribbean’s largest coral reef. The area is known for abundant hawksbill sea turtles and offers strong snorkeling and diving opportunities for both beginners and experienced divers; wreck-diving enthusiasts can explore the Puruni wreck, a 140-foot gunship sunk in 1918 that now serves as a thriving artificial reef." - Chris Dong
"A premier, intimate hillside property with 26 palatial suites and a handful of exquisitely appointed villas placed to maximize ocean views. The guest-only spa is small but elaborate, featuring 10 oceanfront treatment villas and two overwater spa bungalows that are accessible only by boat, stressing exclusivity and oceanfront privacy." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
