A sprawling 18th-century plantation house has been converted into the island's only resort. Elegant accommodation is available in several stone houses, widely separated for seclusion. The public rooms of the Main House are beautifully decorated with antiques, and afternoon tea is served daily on the veranda. There is a hilltop swimming pool with a magnificent panorama, as well as tennis, horseriding, motorcycling and all watersports. South of Canouan are the Tobago Cays, numerous islets and coves guarded by some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world.
Visitors can sail, snorkel and beachcomb in complete seclusion.
The only way to get here is by chartered yacht. East of the Cays is Mayreau, one of the smaller Grenadines, which has few residents. The island has one hotel, Salt Whistle Bay Resort , and can be reached by boat from Union Island. There is one guest-house, Dennis' Hideaway. Clifton Harbour , the main town, is small and commercial.
