Grenada Holidays

Among the experiences awaiting tourists in Caribbean waters Grenada Holidays are perhaps some of the most unjustifiably overlooked. Grenada has rebuilt itself after a devastating hurricane in 2004 (the first for 40 years) as a spectacular resort island rivalling its sometimes more recognisable neighbours. They say that variety is the spice of life, and considering that Grenada is known as the ‘Spice Isle’, it’s unsurprising to find a wealth of things to see and do outside of your luxury hotel.

The usual mix of waterfront beauty and activity is the first satisfying part of the Grenada holiday package. Sunbathe and relax on white, sandy stretches of exceptional beach or get active with the many water sports on offer. A trip below the waves will reward the inquisitive diver with several fantastic reefs and the bizarre underwater sculpture park in Molinere Bay. Grenada actually consists of seven islands, only the main being called ‘Grenada’. The outlying islands provide their own treats and are fantastic escapes to unspoilt swatches of land.

Luxury Holidays to Grenada

Grenada island itself is relatively unspoilt and your holidays to Grenada will be greatly enhanced by trips into the interior of the island. Hikable mountains and a wide range of vegetation give Grenada a striking green appearance. There are several nature reserves to visit as well as numerous waterfalls. An hour outside the capital, St George, is an authentic 17th Century plantation called The Belmont Estate that gives insights into the Caribbean’s colonial past. A number of forts are also scattered throughout the island, combining a little history with some spectacular views. And why not round off your holiday to Grenada with a trip to a nutmeg factory? This is the spice isle after all...
