The Island of Spice

The Spice Island of the Caribbean, Grenada glows with unspoiled beauty. With white sandy beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, and lush tropical rainforest, Grenada is a rich part of Paradise. The tri-island nation includes Carriacou and Petite Martinique to the north.

Mainland Grenada with its sheltered, picturesque harbor, is home of the capital city St. George’s. Carriacou (Karry-a-cou) lies about 18 miles north of Grenada. The 13-square-mile island enjoys a laidback lifestyle and with its clear waters, pristine coral reefs and magical drifts, is known for excellent diving and snorkeling.

Petite Martinique, or PM as it is affectionately known by locals, is less than six hundred acres and as one writer describes it, "only a smile wide." This gem of an island certainly lives up to its brochure invitation: "Forget all your troubles and escape to the paradise island of Petite Martinique." PM is not for those seeking adventure and excitement but if you’re looking to get far away from the hustle and bustle of life, PM is your home away from home.

These gems produce an abundance of aromatic spices including nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, saffron, turmeric, curry, cloves, ginger, allspice, tonga bean, vanilla bean, and bay leaves.

There are also unforgettable dive sites including the Caribbean’s largest wreck and the World’s First Underwater Sculpture Park, historic forts, extinct volcano with a natural water filled lake, organic chocolate factories and rum distilleries.

The Grenadian people are warm and welcoming. Their culture, influenced by the traditions left behind by the South American Amerindians, the French, English, African and East Indians, is expressed through their music, dance, sports, as well as their natural love for welcoming, socializing, cooking, and celebrating.

Grenada appeals to the adventure enthusiast, the beach lovers, the foodies, the couple looking for a romantic getaway and those just looking to relax and rejuvenate. This destination offers the perfect fairy-tale setting for your wedding. White sandy beaches, including the famous Grand Anse Beach, turquoise waters, amazing sunsets, lush tropical spice gardens and to traditional big drum celebration... your wedding dreams await.
