Condé Nast Traveller and Sandals Resorts are giving away an incredible seven-night Caribbean holiday for two adults. The prize includes an all-inclusive seven-night stay for two at Sandals Resorts’ newest property, Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, round-trip airport transfers to and from your resort, all meals, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, an array of land and water sports activities including scuba diving for certified divers, and daily and nightly entertainment.
Return economy class flights between London Heathrow and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with Virgin Atlantic are also included for the prize winner and their travel companion.
This stunning all-inclusive resort for adults is situated on 50 acres of lush tropical landscapes, enveloped by a mountain backdrop, and boasts a 300-foot linear pool. The lucky winner and their partner will be able to enjoy fine dining at 11 speciality restaurants, including Sandals’ first open-air sharing-style restaurant, Buccan, or sip on a drink or two at one of the five bars, including Three Jewels, which serves 32 types of rum – one for each of the destination’s islands and cays.
Complimentary land and water sports are available including cycling, paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving for certified divers. Interactive activities like botanical art, soap making, and guided kayaking tours to the nearby bat caves are also available. As night falls, the essence of the island comes alive with vibrant festivities, from sunset parties on the beach to rum-tasting experiences and movies under the stars.
Adventure lovers who want to get out and explore the destination can book an Island Routes tour and embark on a trek to the summit of La Soufrière, the country’s active volcano, or visit the Vermont Nature Trail to catch a glimpse of a native Saint Vincent Parrot, of which there are only 500 left in the wild.
A spot of island hopping could also be on the cards with the stunning island of Bequia and its picture-postcard beaches located just an hour away by ferry via Kingstown port. Those keen to indulge in something a bit slower-paced will enjoy a visit to Saint Vincent’s tranquil botanical gardens, thought to be the oldest tropical botanical gardens in the world.
