Mandarin Oriental to reopen Caribbean outpost following Hurricane Beryl

Mandarin Oriental Canouan is set to reopen on November 15 following a temporary closure due to the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

 

Since the disaster, the brand has partnered with global agencies, local authorities and the wider community in St Vincent and The Grenadines to help rebuild the destination.

 

The property will be donating 10% of revenue from each guest’s stay from November 15 to the Canouan Resilience Fund, a new initiative started by The Canouan Group.

 

The group is dedicated to strengthening the island’s infrastructure against future natural disasters as well as providing local schools and the community with resources.

 

As part of its commitment to sustainability and helping local communities, the resort has also set up a Circularity Lab with the goal of reducing waste and creating a circular economy.  

 

Alongside reopening, Mandarin Oriental Canouan will introduce a range of new programmes and experiences for guests this winter.

 

Professional tennis player Janko Tipsarevic will partner with the resort to develop clinics for all playing levels.

 

The property also plans to host renowned chefs for culinary activations and pop-ups.

 

For bookings starting from November 15, the resort has introduced a One More Night package which offers a complimentary night for every three or four nights’ stay.

 

Hemal Jain, general manager of Mandarin Oriental, Canouan, said: “We’re extremely proud to be reopening our doors to guests this November. We have an incredibly resilient team and community which have been working tirelessly achieving record-breaking relief and recovery efforts to resume operators and welcome guests back to our exceptional Caribbean gem.

 

“We are looking forward to continuing to build the unparalleled experiences and level of service that the property has to offer, while ensuring that our island also has the most successful future.”
