Towering mountains covered with lush tropical rainforests and bordered by white sand beaches, Grenada is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. Called the "Spice Isle" its fertile soil produces an important amount of the world's supply of nutmeg, and cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and bay leaves also grow in the island's interior.

You can explore parts of the rainforest by a series of trails which proudly display huge mahogany trees, and breathtaking waterfalls. Brightly coloured butterflies pause to sunbathe on exotic tropical plants, and an interesting range of birds repay the use of binoculars.

All the hotels are based in the flatter southern tip of the island, which is close to the capital, St. George's. A picturesque harbour, its heights are dominated by old forts and churches, with cobbled streets winding past pastel coloured houses down to the yachts and schooners anchored below.

Getting about
Secluded bays and hidden coves dot the coastline where white sandy beaches are fringed with palm trees. Arrange a tour or hire a car to explore this scenic island - you will be very well rewarded.
