Stamped the Caribbean’s prettiest place by the Huffington Post, this diverse nation offers three unique islands, all in one captivatingly authentic destination.

With a riveting history, Grenada (Gree-Nay-Dah) retains a colonial charm that’s not only evident in the vibrant culture and traditions of its people, but in the eighteenth century Georgian architecture that still defines its capital city, St. George’s. Internationally, the island is known as the Isle of Spice, an accolade fittingly ascribed as the country produces the most spices per square mile – predominantly nutmeg and cinnamon. Our spices are complemented by our production of fine organic cocoa and exquisite world famous chocolate.

Grenada, Carriacou, & Petite MartiniqueThe Spice of the Caribbean

Measuring just 133 square miles, with only 110,000 people, Grenada’s lush terrain is not saturated with towering structures, and signs of over-commercialisation. Instead, its landscapes are populated with laden fruit and spice trees, wild tropical gardens, over 164 species of tropical birds, and scenic trails that not only beckon, but captivate discerning travellers – most times converting them into repeat visitors.

In Grenada, life is PURE – Peaceful, Unadulterated, Rejuvenating and Easy-going. It is effortless, yet engaging; celebratory, yet stoic. In Grenada, communities still raise children, people are friendly by nature and common courtesy is not for gain – it’s a way of life!

Just 90 minutes by ferry, or 20 minutes by plane from the mainland Grenada, is the destination’s second largest island, Carriacou (Karry-a-cou) which means “Isle of Reefs”. Measuring just 13 square miles, with a population of 8,000, the tiny island is known as an excellent dive and snorkel destination with pristine coral reefs and magical drifts. It also has the distinction of being the largest Grenadine island.

Carriacou boasts a dynamic culture, steeped in ancestral traditions – all of which reflect the rich African and Scottish ancestry of its inhabitants. Even today, African big drum nation dance and European quadrille are common staples at celebrations and festivals.

Carriacou

For centuries, ‘Kayaks’, as they are commonly called, have passed down through generations, the boatbuilding traditions of their Scottish forefathers. Today, large sloops and schooners are still being built in the traditional methods once plied by ancestors in the village of Windward. These boats are the feature of the island’s premier Regatta Festival (August), the longest running in the Caribbean.

The island boasts a slew of other historic traditions; such as Saraca, Tombstone Feasts, Parang Festival, Maroon & String Band Music Festival, and Shakespeare Mas (as seen in photo on left) - the reenactment of plays by William Shakespeare during its pre-lenten carnival celebrations.

Petite Martinique

This 586-acre island which completes the tri-island destination is situated east, off the northern half of Carriacou. About 900 persons live on the island, most of whom derive their income from boat building and fishing. Petite Martinique (Pitty-Mar-Ti-Neek) has a strong culture and rich history manifested through its traditions and festivals. The highest point on the island, the Piton (750 feet high) was once the site of the island’s maroon feast also known as the ‘Sugaring of the Piton’. Signature festivals on this island include the cultural Petite Martinique Heritage Weekend and the Whitsuntide Regatta.

Petite Martinique is also blessed with fine beaches on the calmer Western Leeward side. Like Carriacou, the French first settled Petite Martinique, which is evident to this day in the names of the islanders. The only option to get to Petite Martinique is via boat.

With our warm climate, relaxed lifestyle, and hospitable people, you will always feel at ease, and our life motto of “nothing is ever too much trouble” will naturally infuse into yours.

Serene Escapes

Together, the islands of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique boast over 40 pristine white sand beaches – all offering great op-portunities for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. Beach sports, particularly friend-ly games of football, cricket, or volleyball, are favourite pastimes of locals, and are usually visible on weekends and holidays. Kayaking, paddle boarding and other water activities are readily available for added pleasure on some of the island’s most popular beach-es. Whatever the use, Grenada’s beaches present the perfect escape for some much needed fun in the sun.

Beaches

5

Grand Anse BeachThis two-mile stretch of white sand is by far Grenada’s most acclaimed beach. Home to some of the island’s finest hotels and punctuated with sea grape, almond and palm trees, this iconic beach is not only easily accessible, but serves up amazing beach bars, water sports, and a thrifty arts and crafts market.

Morne Rouge BayThis amazingly calm bay is known for its shallow crystal clear waters and air of seclusion. Popularly known as BBC Beach, its 400 yards of white sand is a favoured stop for boat-rides and paddle board-ing.

Paradise Beach (Carriacou)This pristine, unspoilt beach goes by the perfect name – Paradise. Its calm, turquoise waters are perfect for swimming or relaxing on lazy days. With views of Sandy Island and Carriacou’s lush green hills from its shaded shores, it is the ideal haven for the leisure traveller.

La Sagesse BeachLocated on Grenada’s east coast, this secluded grey and white sand beach provides the perfect hideaway for vacationers. Once ranked 3rd among the 10 most Tropical Beaches by the Sunday Times, it is home to the La Sagesse boutique hotel with tropical gardens.

Levera BeachSitting at the north-eastern tip of Grenada, the breathtaking view of the northern islands extends as far as Carriacou on a clear day. This exclusive stretch of white sand emits a sense of timelessness and provides a safe haven for female leatherback turtles to lay their eggs.

Anse La Roche Beach (Carriacou)Known for its feature in the Pirates of the Caribbe-an film, this sheltered beach boasts beautiful coral reefs just offshore. Secluded and accessible from land by a half-mile hike, at the foot of the famous High North Range, the beach is secluded and un-spoilt.


ECO Sites

One-ninth of Grenada’s landmass is preserved as parks and natural wildlife sanctuaries. Luscious, bountiful tropical forests, filled with a wide variety of flora and fauna, allow visitors to interact with wild-life in their natural habitat, while basking in the un-adulterated splendour of nature. Trek through rain-forests, which uncover the most magical waterfalls; and, if you’re brave enough, endeavour to stand at the mouth of a dormant volcano.

Levera National Park

The 450-acre Levera National Park holds a strong reputation as Grenada’s most scenic and spectacu-lar coastal area. Its lagoon, consisting of an exten-sive mangrove swamp, is one of the most important wildlife habitats on the island, and is home to exotic bird species, such as herons, black-necked stilts among others. Levera’s marine areas are equally esteemed, with outstanding coral reefs and sea grass beds that shelter lobster and beautiful reef fish.

Levera Turtle Watching

Within Levera National Park lies Levera Beach, home of leatherback turtles which surface ashore from as far as Ireland and West Africa, between March and August to lay their eggs. These enormous but beautiful creatures are critically en-dangered with only 1 in every 1000 hatchlings sur-viving to adulthood. It is a captivating sight following the turtles from the sea, watching them dig their 70cm deep nests in the sand, laying their eggs, and finally witnessing the hatchlings emerge from their eggs and find their way into the sea. Guided tours are available. For more information log onto https://spectogrenada.com.

Grand Etang Forest Reserve

The most popular area in Grenada for hiking and trekking is undoubtedly the rainforest around the Grand Etang Forest Reserve. Grand Etang’s varied elevations and terrain maintain several ecological subsystems, culminating in the elfin woodlands of the reserve’s central mountains. Its flora includes towering mahogany and giant gommier trees, as well as a multitude of ferns, tropical flowers and other indigenous plants. The lush vegetation provides shelter for a wide vari-ety of animals, particularly for the island’s many species of birds. It is also the only home, outside of West Africa, to the ever-playful Mona Monkey.

Grand Etang Lake

The crater of an extinct volcano, this 30-acre lake, buried within the Grand Etang Forest Reserve, sits approximately 1,740 ft above sea level. Its calming serenity makes it a popular spot for family picnics, meditation and yoga retreats.

Waterfalls

Grenada’s lush interior is blessed with cascading waterfalls, plunging into refreshing pools - perfect for quick dips and swims. Relatively untouched, and under-commercialised, most of these pic-turesque landmarks are nestled in Grenada’s rainforests, requiring a short hike or trek by nature lovers. Cook-ups and ‘limes’ – the local lingo for the action of hanging out, are a mainstay of locals at these scenic spots, especially on holidays.


Sulphur Springs

Grenada is home to a number of sulphur springs each with its own special character. They are noted not only for their unique geology with complimentary flora and fauna but also for their health and wellness benefits. A soothing bath in the spring complimented with an invigorating scrub of sulphur on the skin will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and renewed.

Lake Antoine

This shallow crater lake, like Grand Etang, is host to a wide variety of wildlife. The lake’s perimeter trail, a beautiful walk in itself, is another of Grenada’s excellent attractions for bird-watchers. Among the species frequently sighted are the snail kite, the fulvous whistling duck, large billed seed-finch, gray kingbird and limpkin.

When you’re ready for some adventure, there are numerous opportunities to include some activity into your holiday so that your wellness goals don’t go out the window!

Visiting the islands of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique, isn’t just fun for humans, it’s also great for animals! Travelling with your favourite companion is a simple process.

Visitors must submit a formal request for a permit to the Government Veterinary Officer at the Ministry of Agriculture. This can be done via email at [email protected].

The formal permit request must include the age, sex, colour, and breed of the animal; as well as the expected port of entry, the airline, date and time of arrival.

Upon receipt of the formal request, the Ministry of Agriculture will fax or email the import permit requested. When the visitor arrives in Grena-da, he/she must present the import permit to the Customs Division at the port of entry. This must be accompanied by:

• Vaccination documentation – proof that the animal has been vaccinated against Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parvovirus, and pare Influenza within the last 12 months.

• Veterinary certificate of health, not older than two weeks old.

A one-time charge of 67.9 percent of the animal’s cost price must also be paid to the Customs Department at the port of entry. Visitors are encouraged to retain their receipts to avoid paying future charges for the same animal. If an applicant wishes, he/she may wish to have an agent collect the import permit on his/her behalf in Grenada and deliver it to the port of entry upon arrival.
