Whether dancing to calypso bands on the beach or swimming under Romantic waterfalls in unspoilt rainforest, you’ll find Grenada is as surprising as it is beautiful.

Affectionately known as the ‘Spice Island of the Caribbean’, the fragrant scents of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger surround you on Grenada, with the promise of delicious cuisine – just one of the promises that are richly fulfilled on this beautiful island. The often deserted palm-fringed beaches are perfect for relaxation, but with lush rainforests, spice plantations, lakes and the prettiest of harbours at St George’s, we recommend you get out and about and explore the diversity and great friendliness of this wonderfully laid back holiday destination.

Out and About
Seven Sisters Falls
Take a rewarding hike to the Seven Sisters Falls, set high in Grenada’s Central Mountain Range. The trails take you through beautiful rainforest scenery where you’ll see plentiful bird life, and you may even spot an occasional monkey. The hike is well worth the effort, as you’ll get to enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pools at the base of the falls.

Saturday market
Shopping for souvenirs and spices in the vibrant Saturday market in St George’s is a must. Experience a typical Grenadian ‘Market Morning’, meet the people and get a real feel for the island’s culture.

George and Frederick
Visit historic Fort George and Fort Frederick, where you’ll not only get a glimpse of Grenada’s colourful past, but also a panoramic view of St George’s, the island’s capital. Carry on to the Grenada National Museum and Parliament House, and end your day at the Westerhall Rum Distillery, with ample time to sample the delicious rum!

Take the hydrofoil to Carriacou
Many people won’t know that two smaller islands (Carriacou and Petit Martinique) near Grenada make up this spicy trio. Take a day trip over to beautiful Carriacou and enjoy some snorkelling off Paradise Beach and lunch in a local restaurant.

Food and Drink
When it comes to dining out, Rhodes Restaurant at The Calabash is excellent, or try the Aquarium Beach Club, especially for its lobster barbecue on Sundays. Other great places to eat include Coconut Beach (with your toes in the sand!) and Le Phare Bleu which serves gourmet cuisine on board a beautifully restored Swedish lighthouse ship.
