In the luxury travel landscape, the Mandarin Oriental in Canouan is transforming accessibility and exclusivity. The recent introduction of private air transfers via a private jet between Canouan Island and Barbados significantly enhances destination access, transforming a getaway to this Caribbean gem into a seamless and sophisticated journey.

Mandarin Oriental, Canouan’s Exclusive Private Jet Transfer

Hidden in the tiny islands of St. Vincent and The Grenadines, the Mandarin Oriental, Canouan, is a beacon of luxury. The island, once envisioned as a haven for billionaires seeking solitude from the ‘millionaire’ crowds, shares its prestigious neighbourhood with Mustique Island. It’s a stone’s throw away from the Sandy Lane Yacht Club, a marina renowned for accommodating mega yachts, symbolizing the island’s blend of luxury and tranquillity.

The new inter-island transport service offers the ease and exclusivity of private jet travel without the hefty price tag of an exclusive charter. Accommodating up to six passengers, the Cessna Citation jet is all about comfort and style, ensuring the journey is as memorable as the destination.

This package simplifies travel logistics and elevates the overall experience with thoughtful inclusions.

For those seeking the intimate and personalized experience of private jet travel, seats start from USD 1,500 per person for a roundtrip, inclusive of all taxes and fees. This also includes fast-track and airport lounge access at both destinations, adding comfort and exclusivity to the journey.
