LUSH GREEN ISLAND of just three square miles , Canouan has many secluded white sand beaches and is sheltered by one of the world ’ s largest coral reefs . Pink Sands Club is set on a beautiful protected bay on the west coast of the island and covers 300 acres between the mountains and the Caribbean Sea . This is a sophisticated resort that has much to offer , from the Jim Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course to four tennis courts and a water sports centre . The location is ideal to enjoy some of the best scuba diving in the Grenadines , and a wide variety of trips can be arranged , from night dives to group and individual dives . The lush tropical gardens are a joy to stroll through and for true relaxation guests can make use of the spa , which has a wonderful hillside setting above one of the resort ’ s long stretches of private beach . The spa has nine thatched-roof palapa suites and two grand palapas that are set over the water with glass-bottom floors , creating a very special spa experience . There are four restaurants at the resort , including La Varenne , where exclusive European fine dining combines with spectacular views of the Caribbean . Accommodation is particularly spacious and all rooms have four-poster beds and have been beautifully decorated with warm yet neutral colours . Each room comes with its own golf cart for your personal use during your stay . Pink Sands Club is an exclusive , elegant boutique resort and early booking is highly recommended .
