Welcome to Grenada, a lush island jewel in the southern Caribbean where rolling green hills meet postcard-perfect beaches and every breeze carries the scent of nutmeg and cinnamon. Known as the “Spice Island”, Grenada offers far more than just stunning views—here, you’ll find a warm, authentic charm, a rich cultural heartbeat, and a laid-back lifestyle that’s truly irresistible.
It's the Spice Capital of the Caribbean
Grenada isn’t nicknamed the “Spice Island” for nothing. Nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger grow in abundance here, filling the air with a heady aroma that follows you wherever you go. Visit spice plantations or the nutmeg processing plant in Gouyave to learn how these fragrant treasures are harvested, sorted and exported around the world. And yes—there’s even a nutmeg-shaped stadium!
Home to the World’s First Underwater Sculpture Park
Just off the coast of Molinere Bay lies an underwater art gallery like no other. The Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park features hauntingly beautiful figures and scenes, now covered in coral and teeming with marine life. Whether you snorkel or scuba dive, this submerged gallery is a surreal, magical experience you won’t forget.
Grenada Has Its Own Mini-Island Chain
In addition to the main island, Grenada includes two smaller gems: Carriacou and Petite Martinique. These islands offer a more off-the-grid vibe with quiet beaches, traditional boat-building communities, and a slower pace of life. A quick ferry ride or small plane hop lets you explore these lesser-known Caribbean wonders.
Weather
Grenada enjoys a warm, tropical climate year-round, with temperatures averaging between 25°C and 30°C. The dry season, from December to April, is the best time to visit for plenty of sunshine and comfortable humidity. The rainy season (June to November) brings occasional showers but also a lush, green landscape and fewer tourists.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The official language in Grenada is English, which makes communication easy for UK visitors. Locals also speak a melodic Grenadian Creole, especially in casual conversation. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD), but US dollars are widely accepted in hotels, shops, and restaurants. Credit cards are commonly used, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller vendors or beach bars.
