Explore More of Grenada By Going Beyond the Beach

When you check into luxury Grenada hotels, expand your horizons by going beyond to beach for all the attractions the island has to offer.

If you look out from any Grenada hotels window, you may think there is nothing else to this beautiful island than that expanse of sea and sand. But there is more to this Caribbean paradise than meets the eye. Spend a day out of the beach or nights dancing your heart out to beat of island drums.

Experience Nature

Leave the beach behind and make your way from your hotel to Grand Etang National Park. Do not forget to bring your swimsuits! One of the main attractions is the Seven Sister Falls. Walk through the rainforest until you hear the rush of the falls and dive right in! The area is safe and perfect for swimming. Hike your way to Concord Falls near St. John to experience the thundering 65-foot waterfall and a cool mid-afternoon swim.

To complete the waterfall experience, the Royal Mount Carmel Falls are a double set of falls that are the highlight of a guided tour through the forest. This waterfall features a unique smooth pool that you can slip into after a short hike through the forest. During your stay in Grenada, hotels should also be able to point you in the right direction no matter what type of experience you are looking for.

The Bay Gardens boast over 3000 different species of flora and provide great photo opportunities. For a small fee you can happily scamper about, photograph your favourite flowers and enjoy the diversity of the Caribbean. You can also choose to tour the Co-Operative Nutmeg Associate for a peek into the spice that fuels the island’s export economy, plus you can buy a few spices to take home.

Educational Tours

Yes, you can buy a bottle and there are free samplings of the rum varieties. Pirate jokes are optional.
