While Mandarin Oriental has been managing the Pink Sands Club since the end of 2017, it wasn’t until this week that the brand officially made its debut.

The property is now the Mandarin Oriental, Canouan, the company’s first hotel in the Caribbean region.

The rebranding comes just days after Mandarin Oriental announced its plans for its second Caribbean project: the Mandarin Oriental, Grand Cayman, which is slated to debut in the Cayman Islands in 2021.

The Mandarin Oriental, Canouan, set in the heart of the Grenadines, has a mix of 26 suites and seven villas.

Mandarin Oriental will also be branding and managing a portfolio of real estate units called the Residences at Mandarin Oriental, scheduled to come on stream in 2020.
