Grenada, Your Way.
Volcanic landscapes, fragrant spice gardens, and reef-lined shores
Grenada:
Where Nature, Culture, and Calm Intertwine
Grenada moves at a quieter rhythm. Known as the “Spice Island,” it blends lush rainforests, volcanic peaks, and unspoiled coastlines with a deeply rooted cultural identity. This is a destination shaped by land and sea — not spectacle.
At Latitude & Leisure, we design Grenada journeys for travelers who appreciate substance over flash. Whether exploring underwater sculptures, hiking forested trails, or settling into a boutique resort overlooking the Caribbean, Grenada rewards curiosity and intention.
Regions That Shape the Journey
Grenada’s appeal lies in its contrasts — coast and highlands, tradition and exploration.
Ease, Openness & Island Living
Grand Anse is where Grenada feels most immediately welcoming. A long arc of pale sand curves gently along calm Caribbean waters, framed by palms and low-rise resorts that blend into the landscape rather than dominate it. Mornings arrive quietly here — beach walks, warm water swims, coffee with a view — while afternoons stretch easily between shade and sea.
Travelers drawn to Grand Anse value comfort without isolation. The area offers walkable access to dining, shops, and local life, making it an ideal base for first-time visitors or those who want to balance beach time with gentle exploration.

Harbor Energy & Living History
Grenada’s capital is compact, colorful, and unmistakably alive. St. George’s curves around a natural horseshoe harbor, where fishing boats, ferries, and sailboats share the water beneath layers of hillside streets. Historic forts overlook the town, while markets, cafés, and everyday commerce create a rhythm that feels authentic rather than staged.
Spending time here offers context — a chance to experience Grenada as locals do. It’s best explored slowly, on foot, allowing conversations, views, and daily life to unfold naturally.

Rainforest Depth & Spice-Scented Trails
Inland Grenada is lush, cool, and quietly powerful. Forested hills rise away from the coast, revealing waterfalls, crater lakes, cocoa estates, and spice plantations that explain the island’s nickname — the Spice Island. The air here is scented and still, broken only by birdsong and falling water.
This region adds dimension to any Grenada journey. Even a single inland day brings contrast and perspective, grounding the coastal experience in nature and history.
Highlights: Grand Etang National Park · Waterfalls · Cocoa & spice estates · Scenic hikes · Cooler climate
Tradition, Simplicity & Seafaring Life
North of Grenada lie Carriacou and Petite Martinique — smaller islands shaped by wind, sea, and tradition. Life here moves slowly and deliberately. Villages are close-knit, sailing culture runs deep, and beaches feel discovered rather than designed.
These islands are best suited for travelers who value authenticity, seclusion, and a strong sense of place. Time here feels unstructured, inviting presence rather than planning.
Highlights: Secluded beaches · Sailing heritage · Village life · Unhurried pace
Signature Ways to Explore — Expertly Crafted Journeys
There’s no single way to experience Grenada — only the one that fits your rhythm.
Diving & Underwater
Reefs, Wrecks & Sculptures
Grenada is one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive dive destinations. Volcanic formations, historic wrecks, and the world-famous underwater sculpture park create dives that feel immersive and memorable rather than commercial.
Nature & Soft Adventure
Rainforest & Waterfalls
Hikes through national parks, waterfall swims, and gentle exploration inland offer movement without intensity. Adventure here feels grounded and accessible.
Cultural & Culinary
Spice, Music & Heritage
Grenada’s culture is inseparable from daily life. Markets, rum distilleries, cocoa estates, and music-filled evenings reveal a destination proud of its identity and traditions.
Relaxed Island Living
Quiet Beaches & Comfort
For travelers seeking calm, Grenada offers understated luxury. Boutique resorts, uncrowded beaches, and an easy pace allow days to unfold naturally.
Seasonal Feature: Carnival (Spicemas) — Typically August, bringing vibrant music, parades, and cultural celebration for travelers who enjoy festive energy.
Best Time to Journey
Grenada’s climate supports year-round travel, with some periods better suited for ease and access.
Prime Season
December–April
Dry weather, comfortable temperatures, and excellent conditions for diving and inland exploration. This is the most popular time to visit — advance planning is recommended.
Shoulder Season
May & November
Warm, green, and quieter. A good option for travelers comfortable with light variability and fewer crowds.
Rainy & Hurricane Season
June–October
This period brings higher humidity and increased rainfall, with potential storm activity. Travel during these months requires flexibility and careful planning, particularly for diving and inter-island connections.
Travel Tip: Grenada sits on the southern edge of the Caribbean hurricane belt, but seasonal considerations still apply. For the smoothest experience, we recommend traveling outside peak hurricane months whenever possible.
Insider Planning Tips
Grenada rewards travelers who move thoughtfully.
- Choose location carefully — beach access and inland exploration vary by region.
- Plan diving early — sites, conditions, and operators differ and benefit from advance coordination.
- Balance coast and interior — even short inland stays add depth to the journey.
- Allow for island pacing — Grenada moves gently; the experience improves when the schedule does too.
- Pack for terrain — light layers, sturdy footwear, and reef-safe sun protection are essential.
