Canouan villas Vacational rentals - luxury villas, condos & holiday homes in Canouan
The stunning island of Canouan in the southern Antilles, is just five square miles in size and formerly a community of sailors and fishermen. With its stunning talcum powder beaches, incredible beauty and quaint coastal fishing villages, holidays here are all about lazy days on the beach and enjoying a full array of sports. You have a choice between sailing, scuba diving, wind-surfing or volley-ball.
Canouan’s longest beach, Grand Bay Beach is located in Charlestown which is where you will find most of the bars, shops and restaurants outside of the main resorts. It is also the place to catch the ferry to the other Grenadine islands such as St Vincent which takes around 1 hour.
