Grenada feels like a quieter, greener side of the Caribbean, with rainforest-covered hills, spice-scented air and a coastline that still feels wonderfully unhurried. It has all the ingredients of a classic island escape, but with a little more depth and a lot more character.
The island’s capital, St George’s, is one of its prettiest corners, with colourful buildings tumbling down the hillsides towards a horseshoe-shaped harbour. Further south, Grand Anse Beach stretches for around two miles, with soft white sand, calm turquoise water and some of the island’s best-known resorts, beach bars and restaurants.
Away from the coast, Grenada becomes lush and dramatic, with tropical gardens, forested hills and spice-growing countryside giving the island its famous Spice Island identity. That natural richness is a big part of what makes Grenada feel so distinctive.
What makes a Grenada holiday so appealing is the balance. You can enjoy the ease of a beautiful resort, spend long afternoons beside the Caribbean Sea, then head out and discover an island that still feels authentic, colourful and refreshingly unspoilt.
