1. Canouan Island:
One Man’s Big Deal
by Gregory B. Gallagher
A
ntonio Saladino is a humble man with a
compelling history as a successful international
businessman and head of his own Swiss bank.
So why would someone with such an accomplished
background decide to jump into building a luxury
destination on a barren island in the Caribbean? “I knew
I would change the lives of the islanders if I started this
project,” he says looking back on the last eighteen years
of work. “But I had no idea it would take so long, nor
be so expensive.”
Born in Sicily prior to World WarTwo,his childhood
memories are filled with the grit of his family’s survival
near Palermo. Determined that education would
catapult him ahead in his adult life, Saladino admits
since childhood he wanted “to be better than other
people at whatever field or opportunity came into my
life.” He would go on to exhibit a Midas touch with
numerous projects.
Profitably trading for the largest brokerage houses
on Wall Street would eventually lead Saladino back to
Europe to join the legendary Agnelli dynasty (owners
of auto maker Fiat), subsequently establishing his own
private bank in Lugano, Switzerland. Like his other
ventures, Saladino grew his banking business from a
two-person office to one employing 90 people. With
an astute awareness of decreasing profits, Saladino sold
his bank before the current volatility hit the financial
world.
In 1990,he went on vacation to the Caribbean island
of Mustique. While there, he sailed with friends to
2. minuscule Canouan Island, belonging to Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines. Smitten by the unassuming
residents, the unusual beauty of a volcanic island with
many sandy beaches, and the exceptional lack of any
development whatsoever, Saladino saw a glorious
opportunity-in-the-making.
His instincts inspired him to commence the
multifarious construction of a luxury destination where
nothing existed, upgrading the quality of life for the
island residents along the way. In the process, he began
bringing his own brand of magic to Canouan Island,
at a time when some sort of wizardry was drastically
needed.
Turtle Island
Canouan Island was first discovered
by the Arawak and Ciboney tribes from
South America. Nomadic hunter-gatherers,
petroglyphs telling their stories can still be
seen on rock formations around this tiny
island. Centuries after these first nations
had established agriculture and shipbuilding
prowess here, the aggressive Caribs then
conquered Canouan in a series of violent
attacks.
Pirating and the nefarious slave trade
ensued in the region during the 1700’s until
1834, with the island bouncing back-and-
forth between French and English whaling,
cotton and sugar interests.In 1921 a massive
hit from a hurricane all but demolished
every structure, except for a 17th Century
Anglican chapel, which had been brought over from
England stone by stone by the notorious Swagg family.
In the aftermath of this unusual hurricane (Canouan
lies outside the normal range), most of the inhabitants
moved to the coastal areas of the island.
In 1979 independence was formally established
as part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with
Canouan Island becoming one of 32 islands belonging
to this relatively new nation southwest of Barbados.
“Canouan”means turtle in the antiquated Carib/Créole
patois dialect. The island itself encompasses 1694 acres
(685 hectares) of wooded, hilly land, surrounded by
spectacularcoralreefsandwhitesandybeaches,anduntil
recently was unknown except to sailors and fishermen.
Since it measures only 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) by
1.25 miles (2 kilometers), it is possible to walk the
entire circumference in a day. Hills rise to 800 feet (245
meters), with Mount Royal being the pinnacle.
As recently as 1960, Canouan Island had zero
infrastructures. The population was enduring blatantly
impoverished conditions. They did not have a single
jetty, airport or road, and the only car belonged to
the one policeman. There was no power source, clean
drinking water, telephones, in-door plumbing, schools,
or doctor, and only a primitive ferry system. Their sole
source of income was from the sea.
Daunting Task
The notion of overhauling an obscure Caribbean
island with no electricity would be daunting to most
of us. But Antonio Saladino faced this conundrum and
other major calamities blocking his mammoth task.
There was no workforce to do the actual work necessary,
working age men having left the island in search of
livelihoods elsewhere. The island populace of 200 was
restricted to wives and babies, together with some older
children and elders, plus legions of goats, donkeys, and
turtles.
Saladino speaks with a certain dry, nostalgic humor
about those first difficult days. He and his team had
to sleep in a converted cargo container until the initial
buildings were fabricated. Those structures became the
Tamarind Beach Hotel (www.tamarind.us), the second
resort on Canouan near the village of Charleston. The
population grew to 900 with the availability of Saladino’s
work. He says now that “…I never made the mistake
of thinking that this project would happen quickly. I
observed the way locals worked, and saw that it was
very slow by European or North American standards.”
3. Magic Touch
Using his magic touch in business deals, Saladino
signed a 99-year lease on 1200 acres (485 hectares),
and reached out to attract successful brand names to
join him in his dream: Donald J. Trump, Singapore-
based Raffles Resorts, American Airlines, Moorings
Yacht Company (see sidebar), and Amrita Spa. These
icons now stand sentry over something much larger
than simply building a new resort destination.Virtually
the entire population is now involved in a sustainable
tourism marvel.
The recently expanded Canouan Island Airport, able
to handle commercial jets, sets the stage for the Raffles
Resort (www.raffles.com) team welcome. Chauffeured
to the idyllic reception perch overlooking the turquoise
Caribbean Sea, guests are issued a personal golf cart for
the duration of their stay. Driving the grounds presents
a 12,900 square-foot swimming pool, Jambu’s Bar &
Restaurant,Trump International Golf Club,Amrita Spa
(www.amritaspa.com), swanky Italian fashion boutique,
and La Galleria, home to Bellini’s Bar and La Piazza
fine dining restaurant.
Accommodations consist of a series of one and two-
storiedvillasspreadoverlushhillssurroundingCarenage
Bay and divvied up into six sizes ranging from two-
level, three-bedroom ocean-view villas with cathedral
ceilings, to one and two-bedroom “personality” garden
suites, each having its own plunge pool.
Luxury in the Details
The romance and mystique of this locale is sensually
inviting and striking décor fingerprints abound in each
of the villas; terra cotta planters contrast against blue
tiles, choreographed with a robust palette of hand-
painted Italian trim, Frette linens, subdued lighting and
tropical blossoms,providing guests with an ambiance of
plush calm throughout.
It is admittedly difficult to impress a global clientele
who are regularly pampered with top-drawer services
and state-of-the-art amenities wherever they travel, but
the Raffles Resort succeeds handsomely because of a
long tradition of leadership in luxury hospitality. The
reality of the resort preparations for their VIP guests
results in a feeling of true elegance, and even extends
into the award-winning Amrita Spa treatment villas.
Each of the nine private palapas come distinctively
capped with Venezuelan thatch, and perch hillside
overlooking the sapphire lagoon below. Two additional
units directly over the azure waters of the bay provide
a closer peek at the indigenous marine life while being
massaged. Among the most sensitive features of the
Amrita Spa is their attitude regarding client time
for solitude on either end of a treatment. Guests are
encouraged to kick back for thirty minutes, thereby
maximizing on their total experience of rejuvenation.
Eleven different therapies are available, performed by
a serene team from India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia
and the Philippines.
The pinnacle of Antonio Saladino’s luxury resort
community is the recent construction of the newest
phase called Grenadines Estate Villas (www.canouan.
com). A stunning set of individual residences under
the keen construction team of his Canouan Resorts
DevelopmentLimited(CRD).Builtintothegentleslope
of the hills surrounding Carenage Bay, these structures
vibrate with the planet’s finest design elements, Italian
craftsmanship, and technology conveniences.
Many villas boast panoramic views over both the
sea and Trump International Golf Course, where it is
possible to see Tiger Woods, or Tony Blair and friends
playing one of the most challenging courses in the
Caribbean. With plenty of property apportioned each
residence to ensure exclusivity,and the complete services
of the Raffles Resort team on call 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, it is easy to see why the exclusivity attracts
these names.
Canouan Island’s highest point. Mount Royal, rises
nearby to a height of 800 feet, and is home to Villa
Monte Carlo standing alone overlooking the sea. This
graceful structure houses both the Trump Club Privée
Raffles Resort
4. casino, and La Varenne fine dining room. From a
palatial deck it is easy to view the astounding coral and
neighboring sister islands of Union,Petit Saint Vincent,
Prune, Mayreau, Mustique, and Tobago Cays. Some of
the finest diving is found surrounding the latter.
Humanity Saladino Style
When I asked Antonio Saladino recently if he had
any philanthropic activities,he answered most definitely
in the negative. He explained he did not have enough
time to accomplish his goals on the island as it was,
let alone try to be fair in serving charitable causes. He
added. “In the past I worked with charities as a part of
my corporate profile, but I simply do not have the time
anymore.”
If a person was to look a little closer at some of the
time spent by Saladino, one might see quite clearly that
much of his consideration, time, and resources are, in
fact, spent on nurturing, sponsoring, and supporting
the community surrounding his resort creation. Here
are just a few examples:
When I first visited, one of the employees had just
returned from buying 200 Christmas presents to be
given to the children living on the island. Add to this
the program of education scholarships Saladino awards
each year to promising local students, enabling further
study. One begins to understand the quiet force of this
man working behind the scenes.
Some of the CCA corporate headings listed on his
website (www.ccalimited.com) say it all, promoting
concepts like diversity, integrity, quality, teamwork,
dedication to people, accountability, and community.
Thankfully these ethics and morals are not simply
words on a website, but very much a comprehensive
philosophy alive under Mister Saladino’s tutelage,
and carried out daily by his colleagues, employees and
community partners.
Sustainable Futures
It is obvious when interacting with Canouanians,that
Antonio Saladino is injecting a new level of enthusiasm.
He inspires all ages to proudly become self-sustaining.
Under his mentorship, hundreds of locals learn how
to use sophisticated tourism implements, social skills
and technologies. By establishing these programs, he
motivates residents to write themselves a ticket to a
much larger world. Some of the employees he trained
are already working in resorts in Asia and Europe
courtesy of their internship with the Saladino group.
At another nut-and-bolts level, the island “team”
Moorings Legacy Continues
T
he yacht legacy of The Moorings Company
continues to evolve, despite the death of
founder Charlie Cary in 2007 at age 89.
Founded on July 4, 1969 in the British Virgin
Islands, Charlie and his wife Ginny began building
yachting dreams for novice sailors and experts
alike throughout the Caribbean and beyond. They
soon aimed at setting the international standard
of excellence for yacht leasing, ownership and
maintenance.
Starting with a modest stock of half a dozen
Pearson yachts, Moorings quickly grew into the
premier global company of more than 850 boats
designed by industry leaders Morgan, Gulfstream
andBeneteau.Mooringsisnowoperatingworldwide
inTonga,Australia,Tahiti,French Riviera,Bahamas,
New Zealand, throughout the Caribbean and in 20
other countries. One of the most interesting locales
for Moorings’ clientele is surely Canouan Island,
backdrop for the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
What makes Canouan Island so compelling for
yachtownersisitssoutheastCaribbeanlocationaway
from the traditional hurricane activity. Roughly 100
miles due west from Barbados, it is possible to start
out from Canouan Island and virtually sail to “all the
anchorages most treasured by Caribbean cruisers”.
The weather is idyllic with temperature ranges in
the 75 to 85 degree zone, as northeast to southeast
winds create amazing conditions for sailing, touring
or loafing on the boat.
Of course it helps that Canouan Island is able to
offer families and larger groups the option of services
from the legendary Raffles Resort. Moorings has
seasonal 10 percent discounts on boats chartered
from Canouan island until December 15th, as well
as an American Airlines discount of 25 percent
on all catamarans and mono-hulls booked in
conjunction with airline tickets to the island for the
same period.
If sailing is your passion or just an armchair
dream,The Moorings Company on Canouan Island
offers not only the best professional track record of
99% return bookings,but also a full menu of exciting
luxury resort components, designed to exceed most
expectations, and allow the experience of sailing to
maximize its effect on travellers.

5. has constructed a water recovery system underneath
the 18-hole Trump International Golf Course. This is
a mammoth logistics project, but it does not stop there.
They have also installed several desalination plants, and
with these engineering feats, provide both the residents
and the resort guests with abundant potable water.
As the business and humane policies of Saladino
succeed, intermingle and evolve, he paves the way for
other significant projects to become a reality. Leading
this list is the proposed Canouan Island National Coral
Reef Park,beckoning a new influx of eco-tourists,divers
and marine biologists to the area.Together with Tobago
Cays Marine Park (www.tobagocays.com), Canouan
Island has positioned itself at the epicentre of a new
tourism attraction for the entire region. Achievements
of this magnitude would have been impossible to
imagine twenty years ago.
To realize how one person has impacted an entire
populaceinsuchmeaningfulwaysisnotonlyencouraging,
it is inspirational. Antonio Saladino is making good on
the opportunity presented to him on Canouan Island
when he first landed.His legacy will reverberate for years
in the wake of his impact on an impoverished people.
Of course Antonio typically underplays his astounding
role on Canouan and in the lives of its people, humbly
scoffing at the notion of anyone being interested in him
or what he has accomplished. He said to me recently,
“It’s no big deal, my life is nothing special, really, no
big deal.” In the final analysis, I know the residents,
families, and visiting guests of Canouan Island would
beg to differ. It is a big deal.
