The fragrant scents of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger rarely leave you in this sleepy ‘Spice Island of the Caribbean’. With a handful of excellent hotels and restaurants which ooze with charm, Grenada is wonderfully laid-back and the perfect setting for some serious battery re-charging! The palm-fringed beaches are glorious but so too is the backdrop of lush rainforests, waterfalls, plantations, lakes and one of the region's prettiest harbours, St George's. Grenada really is one of the most diverse of the Caribbean islands. Dance to local Calypso bands on Bathway Beach on a public holiday (the beach is otherwise fabulously deserted); or take the hydrofoil across to the sister island of Carriacou for some scuba-diving or snorkelling.
Grenada continues to attract UK travellers with its unique sense of Caribbean style and charm. It really is the most beautiful of islands and when Rebecca and Francesca visitedin May they were particularly impressed by the stuning developments at Spice Island. The unwelcome visit of Hurricane Ivan in 2004 is now a distant memory and once again from 2007 we are expecting this to be 'the' destination for our clients.
"Black gold" in Grenada refers to nutmeg which grows prolifically throughout the island – Grenada is the second largest producer of nutmeg in the world.
