grenada

the spice island

Grenada smells of nutmeg and cocoa. It’s a green, mountainous island with rainforest, waterfalls and working estates, and a gentle, friendly pace.

Grand Anse is one of the best beaches in the Caribbean, and the sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are wonderfully quiet. It lies at the southern edge of the hurricane belt, so storms are less frequent than further north.
