Grenada
Aromatic and alluring, Grenada is best known as the 'Spice Island', characterised by its luscious green hills and tropical beaches.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Grenada is the southernmost island of the Lesser Antilles, famed for being the largest producer of nutmeg. Consisting of mainland Grenada and two sister islands, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, in addition to several smaller islands, each corner of Grenada offers a picture-perfect Caribbean paradise of lush jungles and beautiful beaches. Soak up Grenada's rich heritage in St George's, the capital, with sweeping views of Carenage Harbour from the 18th-century Fort George, insightful exhibitions at the Grenada National Museum, and charming streets lined with enchanting colonial architecture.
Its scenic coastline is strewn with a selection of exclusive boutique resorts, each accommodating an array of travellers, from honeymooners after a romantic stay in a contemporary hotel with glamorous swimming pools to families keen to experience all the island has to offer in all-inclusive luxury hotels located in the heart of the action.
Having steered away from mass tourism, a holiday to Grenada boasts smaller crowds and an authentic taste of the Caribbean; there is even a rule stating that no buildings be taller than palm trees, meaning much of the tropical scenery has been protected. With landscapes ranging from cascading waterfalls and breathtaking beaches to wildlife-rich rainforests and historic port towns, Grenada's stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage are what really set it apart. An exciting snorkelling destination, Grenada boasts dozens of secluded coves and beaches, numerous protected reefs teeming with a diversity of marine life, and the world's first underwater sculpture park, making it a fantastic destination for a unique aquatic adventure.
