Grenada Holidays Not only does the 'Spice Island' produce nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger and cloves, this rugged land of mountains, rainforests, waterfalls and secluded beaches has also given birth to an intriguing history and people. With the scent of spice in the air and white sand shores gently moulded by the sea, this tiny island is the epitome of a Caribbean dream. Grenada has lush tropical rain forests and some of the most beautiful lakes imaginable – a truly beautiful holiday destination.
The capital, St George's, is located on Grenada Island and has one of the prettiest harbour settings in the Caribbean. Carriacou is dotted with traditional East Caribbean towns and friendly locals, while Petit Martinique offers the chance to unwind in a little-known corner of the world.
With its warm weather, there really isn't a bad time to visit Grenada - temperatures average 29°C (84°F). The rainy season is June to November. Even in the driest months it rains a fair amount, though not every day. The second weekend in August is Carnival, the island's biggest and busiest event, so reserve accommodation in advance if you want to enjoy the festivities. Winter is prime fishing season and, accordingly, the Spice Island Billfish Tournament, which draws anglers from around North America and the Caribbean, is held annually in January.
Beaches
It may be tiny in size but Grenada delivers acres of sandy beaches, from the sweeping sands of the island’s most famous beach, Grand Anse, to the secluded shores of Tamarind Bay. Sports Snorkelling and diving are part and parcel of any Caribbean beach, unique to Grenada though are the spontaneous cricket matches, often seen beside the water edge. The magnificent landscape lends itself perfectly to hikers, especially Grand Etang’s rainforest. Local tastes Known as the Isle of Spice, Grenada’s cuisine is full of flavour and makes a tasty alternative to international fare. Local favourites include barbecued corncobs and rotis, dished up by the street vendors. Evening flavour On an island where life is so laid-back, its hardly surprising evenings here are just as unhurried. Entertainment is mostly hotel-based, with occasional theme nights and steel bands to throw some local rhythm into the mix. With fantastic deals to all of the hotels on the island we are positive we can find the right holiday experience at the right price for you. We use all of the major charter airlines as well as Virgin Atlantic and British Airways.
