Don’t Miss It: Mandarin Oriental is Coming to the Caribbean
The next few years are expected to be big for Mandarin Oriental as they anticipate the completion of many developments. Known for properties reflecting Asian heritage, local culture and design, Mandarin Oriental, which operates 41 hotels, 12 residences and 26 homes across 26 countries to date, sets its eyes on the Caribbean.
Of course, we can’t get excited about the future without seeing the present moment. This year, MO opened its Canouan property in St. Vincent & the Grenadines, which is MO’s first and currently the only property in the Caribbean. We just visited this past November (2025).

The property was perfectly secluded and perfectly marketed as the billionaire's playground. Its the escape from the escape as we like to call it. Some openings to be excited about:
