With the help of our friends at Flügy, part of GlobalX, Soho House members were offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to board the largest plane to ever land on Canouan and Flügy’s maiden voyage to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A trip that usually takes two planes and multiple stops, Flügy’s Airbus 320 brought members on a direct flight from Miami to the House in under four hours. After lunch and custom Bacardí cocktails on board, members arrived in the afternoon on the Friday to a crowd of locals and Canouan news stations eager to witness the flight’s approach.

Soho Beach House Canouan’s beachfront property offers an escape for Soho House members and Soho Friends members to disconnect. On our weekender, mornings started out with Tara Benmeleh leading daily tea ceremonies and gratitude sessions. Kellie Williams also offered fitness classes to counteract Bacardí’s cocktails and all the late nights with music by Jasmine Solano, Jack Benmeleh and Chris Leacock, aka Jillionaire.

On Saturday, barefoot guests boarded a catamaran and sailed off to nearby Tobago Cays to swim and snorkel among sea turtles. On the way back, the boat made an impromptu stop at Tribu Beach Club in Mayreau for an afternoon of food and drinks. 

And the highlight that would make any Soho House member jealous? A Picante class. Clad in bikinis and trunks, guests learnt the House secret to making our favourite signature drink at the beach bar, complemented by an impromptu ceviche-making class. 

The next morning, local guides led members through tight hiking trails up more than 700 feet to breathtaking views at the top of Mount Royal. Lush green contrasted the bright blue waters below, and views stretched out as far as the neighbouring islands of Mustique and Grenada.
