Holiday in Grenada
 |
| Snorkeling |
An unspoiled island paradise, Grenada is the perfect
destination for those seeking a relaxing tropical
holiday, a romantic getaway or an enchanting spot
for a wedding and honeymoon.
The tri-nation of Grenada includes Carriacou
and Petite Martinique islands and is home to one
of the loveliest and most diverse environments
in the Caribbean. Nature lovers come to experience
its waterfalls, crater lakes and mountains as
well as the rainforests, which give way to stunning
white sand beaches, brilliant blue ocean water
and exquisite coral reefs.
Grenada is known as the Spice Island of the Caribbean — and
with good reason: our balmy ocean breezes carry
an alluring hint of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and
ginger. These cooling trade winds also help to
keep temperatures at a perfect 24°C to 30°C,
an ideal temperature for swimming, snorkelling,
sunbathing, water sports, birdwatching, shopping
and sightseeing. Divers can explore the fascinating
shipwrecks for which the area is well known, while
history buffs can stroll the streets of the capital
of St. George's.

A leader in the ecotourism industry, the government
of Grenada is dedicated to preserving the country's
natural beauty and has protected one-sixth of its
land mass as parkland and natural wildlife sanctuaries.
In Grenada, luscious tropical forests boast a richly
diverse range of flora and fauna, glorious waterfalls
cascade into clear pools, and you'll see some of
the most breathtaking views in the world. The unspoiled
green landscape and its thriving wildlife are just
some of the island's many treasures. Unlike islands
where tourists spend most of their time behind the
walls of their gated resorts, visitors to Grenada
mingle with the local people, shop in our markets,
eat in our restaurants and travel freely and safely
throughout the island.
Accommodations range from all-inclusive hotel
resorts and cozy B&Bs to luxurious separate cottages
that offer food, featuring everything from Canadian
fare to some of the finest native and international
cuisines.
Put some spice in your vacation, and come to
Grenada. Several international airlines fly here
each week, and since 2004's Hurricane Ivan touched
our shores, improvements and restorations have
been made throughout the island.
