In Grenada, you can visit dazzling white, rarely busy beaches, an underwater sculpture park, dense rainforest, and historic plantations. The island is quieter than many others in the Caribbean, and its tranquil beaches and laid-back lifestyle make it a relaxing spot for an island escape.

Once you’ve had your fill of pool-side cocktails and reading in the sun, there’s excellent diving and snorkelling with sunken artwork on a regenerated reef, a variety of wreck dives, and the chance to spot manatees, dolphins, or whales.

Inland, the lush forests are laced with waterfalls, cocoa and nutmeg plantations, and small villages. You could go in search of armadillos, mona monkeys, and opossums, visit 18th-century rum distilleries and bean-to-bar chocolate makers, or sail along the coast to quiet coves and brightly painted fishing villages.

In Grenada, you can stay in intimate beachfront hotels, luxury resorts, private villas, or local guesthouses. You might like a suite that opens right onto the beach, a resort with complimentary water sports, or a private yacht to take you from place to place so you can tour the island in full.

Our specialists will help you find a stay that’s right for you, whether a family-owned guesthouse set in tropical gardens, a beachfront boutique hotel, or waterfront cottages are what you’re after. To get some ideas, take a look at our places to stay in Grenada.

Most visitors head to the southwest of Grenada where hotels cluster around soft-sand beaches. The powdery sands and excellent diving at Grand Anse make it a popular base, while just to the north, the island’s capital, St George’s, offers heritage architecture, an engaging museum, and lively Saturday markets.

Inland, at Grand Etang National Park and Forest Reserve, you can hike through lush forest on the lookout for wildlife, or head for Levera National Park in the northeast for coastal walks that lead to dramatic volcanic landscapes.

In the northwest, you could visit nutmeg and cocoa plantations or visit a rum distillery, and if you have time, you could take a short trip to tiny Carriacou Island to the north, where you’ll find the aptly named Paradise Beach.
