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.
