Sandals Saint Vincent Review and Travel Guide for 2025

Sandals Saint Vincent Review | What To Know In 2025

Sandals St. Vincent is the newest Sandals resort in the portfolio and in 2025, it is one of the most Instagram-worthy luxury all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Featuring the first-ever overwater two-story villas, surrounded by rainforest views with a relaxed, upscale vibe, Sandals Saint Vincent represents the freshest Sandals 2.0 modernization philosophy.

Here, each suite is perfect for couples wanting updated amenities with comfort and style in mind.

For our clients, Sandals Saint Vincent is best for honeymoons and those wanting a quiet and more relaxed getaway. Sandals Saint Vincent does an incredible job bringing together local Vincentian culture, specialty dining, and has some amazing off-site excursions, making it a Caribbean experience unlike any other.

Hi! We’re Jonathan and Angela, award-winning Sandals Chairman’s Royal Club Diamond Elite advisors and founders of Rivage Travel and Best Caribbean Resorts. We’ve stayed at every Sandals resort, including this one, and will help you plan your dream trip, all for no extra cost.

If you’re here for inspiration and information, you’re at the right place. But if you’re serious about making this trip the best one yet, the details below are exactly what you’re looking for. Let’s go!

What You Need to Know Upfront

These are the standout features that make Sandals Saint Vincent one of the most unique and rewarding destinations we’ve visited in our 15+ years as Sandals travel experts.

1. True Seclusion in a Rainforest-Meets-Ocean Paradise

Sandals St. Vincent is set on its own private cove on the island’s southwest coast, framed by rainforest-covered cliffs and completely free of tourist traffic. A nearby river winds through the lush greenery, while the calm waters of the cove create an environment perfect for relaxation and water activities.

You won’t see cruise ships or beach vendors here, and that is a huge bonus for Sandals Saint Vincent!

2. Culinary Experiences That Rival NYC

Yes, they really do here! With 11 restaurants, each offering a unique ambiance, including Buccan (family-style Vincentian cuisine), Butch’s (premium steakhouse), and Parisol Beach Club (fresh beachfront seafood), you’ll be eating well all week.

Buccan stands out not just for the food, but for the storytelling woven into each course. Make a reservation as soon as you arrive or inside the Sandals app 14 days before arrival as it books fast.

3. Unique Room Categories You Won’t Find Elsewhere

Sandals Saint Vincent introduced:

Two-story Overwater Villas (with ocean access, soaking tubs, and glass floors)
Media room suites and swim-up Club-level rooms

All accommodations offer beautiful views of tropical gardens and pools, but some are better than others. If you want to be closest to the beach, book the Beachfront One-Bedroom Butler Villa Suite with Private Pool. These have the wow factor and are a personal favorite of ours.

If butler service is not in the budget, even the two Sandals entry-level rooms feel elevated and oversized. You can’t go wrong with either one.

4. Built for Total Relaxation, Not Party Vibes

Sandals Saint Vincent is not a party resort. There’s live music, a social rum bar, and cultural entertainment, but no nightclubs.

Recently, one of our clients told us it felt like “Wisteria Lane with a rainforest backdrop.” Peaceful. Calm. Intentional. If you’re craving reconnection and rest, this is your place to be.

5. The Best Off-Resort Excursions in the Grenadines

Island hopping is one of the biggest draws here, inviting guests to explore the surrounding islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. We always recommend:

Tobago Cays: snorkeling with sea turtles in shallow, clear waters.
Bequia Island: boutiques, secluded beaches, and a charming harbor.
La Soufrière Volcano: a hike with breathtaking crater views.

Sandals Saint Vincent: Full Experience Breakdown

All bookings are fully all-inclusive, meals, alcohol, tips, watersports, and transfers.

What’s Included at Sandals St. Vincent?

Unlimited dining and drinks
Paddleboarding, snorkeling, kayaking
Hydrotherapy spa access (no extra charge)
Swim up bars for convenient poolside cocktails
Two whirlpools and four pools
Roundtrip airport transfers

What’s not included? Motorized watersports… And personally speaking, we didn’t miss them. It’s about unplugging here.

When & How to Get There

Direct flights from Miami, NYC, Toronto, and now Atlanta, starting in December 2025.
Airport: Argyle International (SVD)
Transfers:
– 45-minute drive
– Private boat ride available for all Butler-level guests

If you’re prone to motion sickness, pack Dramamine and stay at least 7 nights. You’ll want the extra time anyway.

What About the Beach?

The beach is beautiful but I wouldn’t say this is why you book this resort.

Sand is imported white over a natural black base, so it’s firmer and darker.
Water is clear and sits on a private cove but varies in color, depending on the day, with stretches of crystal clear waters which is great for swimming and water activities.
It’s public (as all beaches are in St. Vincent), but typically quiet.

Most guests agree the pools steal the show: oceanfront infinity pools, a quiet heart-shaped pool, and poolside butler service. It’s hard to beat.

What to Know Before You Book

Sandals Saint Vincent is sprawling and hilly, not ideal for guests with mobility concerns.
Nightlife ends early. There’s live music and cocktails near the rum bar, but this isn’t Sandals Ochi.
Dining reservations go fast. Reserve Buccan and Butch’s as soon as you arrive or 14 days prior to arrival inside the Sandals app.

And yes, there are some bugs (tropical climate), but the rooms are well-maintained. We’ve had no client complaints when they kept doors shut and brought bug spray.

Cost Guide – What You’ll Pay in 2025

Sandals Saint Vincent luxury level entry-level rooms average around $451 per person per night, compared to $182 at Sandals Ochi.

For a May honeymoon in a Garden view Suite with Butler service, expect to pay around $11,000 for seven nights and around $9,000 for a Club Suite. Butler level rooms at Sandals Saint Vincent include exclusive amenities like personal butler service and a water transfers that take you directly to the resort where your butler will greet you upon arrival.

Foe us, we personally love the Lady Palm Club Swim-up Suite with Media Room and Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub. The views are amazing, and having direct access to the pool is such a great feature.
