Grenada*
Breathe in the heady aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla that perfume the warm air on this exotic ‘Spice Island’.
Grenada’s seductive charms are a true feast for the senses! Soak up the easy-going atmosphere of St George’s, packed with pastel coloured buildings and narrow cobbled streets. Hike in rainforests alive with bright tropical birds or cool off in the brilliant blue sea where multi-coloured fish flit back and forth.
Don’t Miss
Don’t Miss Spice Estates – Grenada is one of the world’s major suppliers of nutmeg, and you’ll also find working estates growing cloves, cinnamon, ginger, bay leaves and turmeric.
Fort George – Get out of the sun and explore the underground passageways of this historic old fort, built by the French in 1705. Grand Etang National Park – Take time out to walk around this 4,000 acre forest reserve and check out the amazing Grand Etang Lake that sits in the crater of an extinct volcano.
Beaches – Want to catch some rays? Spread out your towel on the long white sandy beach at Grand Anse or on one of the island’s many secluded coves.
