Spice Island Beach Resort

Situated at the peaceful southern end of Grenada’s best beach, this intimate all-suite, all-inclusive resort – part of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World portfolio – is centred on a spectacular architect-designed spa set in tropical gardens with an alfresco relaxation lounge, which uses locally grown herbs, organic chocolate and spices in its luscious treatments.

You’ll also find a yoga pavilion with glorious sea views, complimentary sports including snorkelling, kayaking and cycling, golf and a kids’ club, while exciting excursions include rainforest and market visits and PADI-certified diving. Around half of the elegant suites are right on Grand Anse beach, and some come with their own private pool.

This is a family-run boutique resort with a true community spirit –a fact seen not only in its support of the local female farmers, from whom it sources the majority of fruits and vegetables for its two restaurants, but also in the training of locals for its team and in its Green Globe Certification.
