Located in the southeastern Caribbean, Grenada is a breathtaking island known for its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and rich cultural heritage. Often called the "Spice Island", Grenada is one of the world's leading producers of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, filling the air with exotic aromas. Whether you are looking for relaxation in a private villa, thrilling outdoor and underwater adventures, or a deep dive into Caribbean food and culture, Grenada offers an unforgettable experience.
Grenada is truly an idyllic place to unwind. The warmth and sincerity of the Grenadian people will make you feel at home very quickly. It is affectionately known as the spice isle of the Caribbean due to its wealth of natural spices such as cinnamon, saffron and most notably nutmeg, widely available to purchase, and of course enjoy in local cuisine.
Most of our hand picked villas are located on the beaches of the south west of the island, whilst the north is covered with mountainous beautiful rain forest, well worth a visit. The beaches tend to be quieter than other islands in this part of the Caribbean, with plenty of space to relax on the sands or enjoy the calm Caribbean sea whilst swimming or sailing. Some of the best beaches include world-famous Grand Anse Beach, a two-mile stretch of powdery white sand and turquoise waters, which is perfect for sunbathing and water sports. For a more secluded retreat, Morne Rouge Beach (BBC Beach) offers a tranquil setting with calm waters, while Levera Beach provides a dramatic backdrop of rolling waves and views of smaller offshore islands.
Grenada is known as the best island in the eastern Caribbean for diving, with a plethora of wrecks, reefs, marine life and even the enchanting Underwater Sculpture Park. For those who love to explore the sea, Grenada’s sailing scene is among the best in the region. Visitors can charter a private yacht to discover the nearby islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, or take a sunset cruise along Grenada’s stunning coastline.
Of course, being called the spice isle means that you are bound to have an exceptional culinary experience. Guests can visit spice plantations to see nutmeg and cocoa being harvested or enjoy a gourmet dining experience at Belmont Estate, a historic plantation producing organic chocolate. The island is also home to River Antoine Rum Distillery, one of the oldest rum producers in the Caribbean, where visitors can sample authentic local rum. For a true taste of Grenadian culture, the Fish Friday festival in Gouyave is a must, offering fresh seafood, music, and an authentic local atmosphere.
