Dubbed the ‘Spice Island’ due to its fertile spice plantations, the air in Grenada is infused with a distinctive scent of nutmeg, clove, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla.
This independent Caribbean nation is comprised of one main eponymous island as well as numerous smaller surrounding islands which beckon for day trips, fishing adventures, sailing destinations, or diving and snorkelling excursions.
The picturesque 18th-century harbour capital, St. George's, boasts brightly coloured homes, impressive Georgian buildings, a lively market and Grand Anse - a famous two-mile stretch of exquisite beachfront offering an array of water sports, craft vendors, and lively restaurants and bars.
With all of this and more on offer, St George’s makes a great base for exploring Grenada’s spectacular beaches, breath-taking waterfalls, and stunning flower-filled rainforests.
