GRENADA

Grenada is the ‘Spice Isle’ of the Caribbean; a geographical gem where visitors can sink into the serenity of warm breezes and soft moonlight; feel history in centuries old forts; touch the floor of the rain forest and swim among coral reefs. This is the land of spices, exotic flowers and rare fruits; the three island nation of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique and the gateway to the Grenadines.

​

The architecture, place names and dialect of Grenada, along with our customs and celebrations are here to see, hear and touch. What emerges from this intriguing past is the pure warmth of our people.

​

Grenadians are a nation of entrepreneurs whose pursuit of excellence is ingrained in our adaptability as a people. Their achievements are acknowledged internationally through awards, honours and other measures of recognition. From award winning condiments, herbal remedies, honey and rums to rare organically grown dark cocoa and original seasoning mixes.

​

Whether you prefer a secluded villa, an all inclusive hotel, a luxurious apartment or the comfort of an intimate inn, Grenada offers a wide array of accommodation options. Our sporting events, dive excursions, cultural celebrations, culinary selections and other festivals and attractions will make your spice experience one to repeat.
