Spice up your life – and vacation – in Grenada
Vacationers of the world, ready for a getaway that breaks the mold? Allow us to introduce you to Grenada, or Spice Island for those in the know. This West Indies paradise in the heart of the Caribbean is where breathtaking beaches meet eco adventures and a warm, welcoming culture that stands out from the rest. As if you needed another excuse to head south to sunny skies, we’re sharing four of our favourite reasons why you should consider a Grenada all inclusive vacation for your next tropical escape.
Everything is just beachy in Grenada
his slice of tropical heaven is blessed with beautiful beaches (over 45 of them!) that are sure to leave you like 😍! Grand Anse Beach is the standout and most popular for shore with three kilometres of white sands backed by almond, grape and coconut trees and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. Stay just minutes away from the beach during your Grenada vacation at an all inclusive resort and get a taste of the local life at the restaurants and bars that line the coast! If you’re looking for something a little more low-key (but just as beautiful), Magazine Beach is a great pick and you can also stay shoreside at the award-winning Royalton Grenada An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort on Tamarind Bay!
Tempt your tastebuds
One of the best ways to learn about your chosen destination is through the flavours you can find in its cuisine, and Grenada is the Caribbean’s Flavour Town! Take your palate on an expedition with the Deluxe Island Tour from NexusTours.com, pairing stunning sights with delectable bites. From the Victoria Nutmeg Processing Station that gives the island its distinct aroma to the Diamond Chocolate Factory, once a rum distillery that now produces Grenada’s famous Jouvay chocolate, you’ll experience Grenada’s full flavour profile! Don’t worry, you’ll still get to sample some of the isle’s spirit with a stop at the River Antoine Rum Distillery before you cap off your food tour with a journey through the Grand Etang rainforest, complete with waterfalls and Mona monkeys!
Mother Nature doesn’t pick favourites
At least that’s what she says to the other Caribbean islands! Grenada is home to clear blue waters and dense rainforests, with organized eco adventures so you can discover them for yourself! Active travellers looking to explore these rugged and beautiful landscapes can hike St. Margaret’s Trail through lush countryside and be rewarded for their efforts with stunning views of the Seven Sisters waterfalls. If swimming the deep blue is one of your pastimes, you can check out the 20 unforgettable dive sites including the iconic Underwater Sculpture Park, the first of its kind in the world! Want something a little more chill during your Grenada vacation? Hop on a sailing charter and take in sweeping views of the island’s coastline as you cruise in style!
Discover sun, sand and tales of past saga
Grenada offers a rich tapestry of historic sites just waiting to be discovered! Among its treasures, Fort George stands tall, a witness to the island’s past. Perched on top of a rocky hill, this 18th century fortress offers panoramic views of the capital, St. George’s and the brilliant blue Caribbean Sea that lies beyond. As soon as you step within its weathered stone walls, you’ll be transported back in time, with evidence of battles waged here including the iron cannons. This oasis holds plenty of other gems for you to explore on your Grenada vacation, like the historic town of Gouyave with its colonial architecture and the Dougaldston Estate, a former cacao plantation that now pays tribute to the island’s agricultural heritage.
