The Island

In many ways, Grenada is hard to beat for a Caribbean holiday. It possesses a bevy of gorgeous, soft-sand beaches and a mountainous and lush rainforest-covered interior. Its elegant little capital, St George’s, is a strong contender for the prettiest in the region. Moreover, the so-called Spice Island is far less developed for tourism than many of the other main Caribbean islands, such as Barbados or Jamaica. There are no resorts as such, no high-rise developments, and even the most popular beaches are usually quiet.

The villa is situated at Fort Jeudy, a pretty secluded inlet which provides a safe harbour for boats. There is no heavy swell in the bay so water sport is very enjoyable. The bay is an excellent place to fish (catch your own lunch of tasty red snapper!) or to go swimming and snorkelling.

 

The town of St Georges is about 15 minutes drive, and the beaches of the south and east of the island are just a short drive away. The villa is far enough away to be quiet and secluded, but close enough to enjoy the beaches and facilities of the South of Grenada. There are plenty small beachside restaurants in short driving distance.

Holiday villas in Grenada offer a luxurious opportunity to discover and enjoy these beautiful, unspoilt islands. The Grenadines have a myriad of turquoise bays and anchorages to explore. These include the Tobago Cays, breathtakingly lovely and totally untouched by today’s commercialism, Mustique, conjuring up images of an idyllic lifestyle only glimpsed by a privileged few, and Bequia, resonant of days gone by when life was lived at a relaxed pace.

Grenada lies between Trinidad and Tobago to the south and St Vincent and the Grenadines to the north, in the Eastern Caribbean at the southern end of the Windward Islands.

A lush green island with a central mountain range, Grenada is one of the least spoiled, least touristy, least populated and most beautiful of the Caribbean islands.

There are 45 beaches in Grenada – with many long stretches of near deserted palm fringed pristine sand. Its sheltered anchorages and enchanting bays make Grenada a popular yachting centre particularly as it lies south of the hurricane belt.

Grenada is best known as the Spice Island, supplying nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, saffron, cloves, ginger and many others to the world. It has plantations including nutmeg, sugar cane, bananas, citrus fruit and mangoes, tropical rain forests, crater lakes and spectacular waterfalls. The Grenadians are friendly, warm-hearted people who are proud to welcome visitors to their peaceful and tranquil island in the sun.

The Weather: Grenada has a superb climate all year the temperature usually only varies between 28°C and 30°C (84°F to 87°F) during the day. Cooling north-easterly breezes make a very pleasant climate all year round. Even when it does rain the sun is usually shining again in half an hour!
