Dreamy Grenada Holidays
Grenada could well be the jewel in the Caribbean’s crown. An island of untouched beauty which is a little off the beaten track. Perfect for exploration; perfect for relaxation.
Grenada is situated at the most southerly end of the Windward Isles and is a small Caribbean country with 7 islands in total. All of the hotels are situated on its main island, none are more than two storeys high adding to its charm. It boasts beautiful emerald mountains, mangrove forests, talcum powder sand beaches and stunning turquoise seas which are teaming with tropical fish and coral.
Catch the distinct scent of cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg in the air; its most famous exports and why it is known as the Spice Island.
As it is less visited than many of the other Caribbean Islands its likely you will feel a little more of its authentic flavour. Nightlife on the island is pretty low key, but if your looking for a little peace and tranquillity Grenada is idyllic. It makes a perfect honeymoon destination with its secluded beaches and captivating scenery.
