Share now or save for later

Discover why Grenada – the so-called Island of Spice – is becoming an increasingly popular destination, and check out five of the best Grenada hotels to book for your stay to suit a range of budgets, tried-and-tested by yours truly.

A tri-island archipelago in the eastern Caribbean, Grenada comprises of the island of Grenada in addition to the southern Grenadine islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Together, these territories are perhaps best known as the Spice Islands because of the high quantities of spices – especially nutmeg – they produce. However, there is much more to Grenada than its spices, as delicious as they may be. From its rugged yet ravishing natural landscapes and wondrous waterfalls, to its comforting Caribbean cuisine and perpetually smiling locals, Grenada offers something for everything to fall in love with.

So, where to stay in Grenada? Let’s take a look at some of the top Grenada hotels to consider booking for your dream trip.

The Best Grenada Hotels and Places to Stay

From five-star luxury resorts with private beaches to mid-range and budget hotels and residential apartments, Grenada offers a range of accommodation to suit different travellers and budgets.

Here are some of my favourite places to stay while on the Island of Spice, based on hotels I’ve actually visited or stayed at myself. I hope to add more Grenada hotels to this list when I return to the island for a third visit.

Blue Horizons – St. George’s: ££

Located on Morne Rouge, near to both Grand Anse Beach and another popular beach known locally as BBC (after a nightclub that was once based here), lies Blue Horizons Garden Resort.

Owned by the Hopkins family, Blue Horizons is perhaps best known for its elegant landscaped gardens brimming with leafy palms and exotic flora, with spacious apartments offering a home away from home. As well as comfy lounges and verandahs, many of the rooms are equipped with self-catering facilities (in the unlikely event that you tire of the authentic Grenadian and Creole cuisine served in the on-site restaurant!)

On a hot, humid day, cool down by the poolside with a rum punch as you read your favourite book or plan your next excursion.

True Blue Bay Boutique Resort – St. George’s: ££££

Keen to stay close to the hustle and bustle of the capital, St. George’s whilst also enjoying the luxury of being somewhat tucked away from it all? True Blue Bay Boutique Resort has got you covered. Based in True Blue Marina, near St. George’s University campus, this family-owned five-star resort boasts a waterside restaurant, spa, yoga studio, infinity pool and even a pool-side rum bar complete with rope swings. It’s an Instagram Story waiting to happen!

La Sagesse – St. George’s: ££££

Widely regarded as one of Grenada’s most romantic hotspots, La Sagesse is based on a crescent-shaped white sand beach lined with leafy palm trees. Tepid and tame, the waters surrounding this lovable boutique hotel are popular with locals and tourists alike.

Accommodation takes the form of a Manor House built by Lord Brownlow, a traditional Caribbean cottage featuring a wraparound verandah and the Ocean Building, consisting of three rooms, including one suite.

The majority of the food on the restaurant menu is grown on-site or hunted or sourced locally, enabling visitors to gain a true taste of the Island of Spice.

Mount Edgecombe Plantation Resort – Victoria, St. Mark’s: ££

While most tourists tend to stay in the south of the Grenada, the north of the island is brimming with lush greenery, exotic rainforests and untouched landscapes just begging to be explored. To fully appreciate all that Grenada has to offer, you need to dedicate time to exploring all corners of the island. If you’ll be staying for a couple of weeks or more, you’ll have plenty of time in which to do this, as it only takes around two hours to drive around the entire island.

That said, it takes around an hour to drive from the capital, St. George’s to the north, so it might be worth booking into a nearby hotel for a few days or so. Without doubt, my favourite place to stay in the north of Grenada is Mount Edgecombe Plantation Hotel and Resort near Victoria. I celebrated my 30th birthday here in June last year, so this is somewhere that holds special memories for me!

When I picture a tropical paradise, Mount Edgecombe immediately springs to mind. With free-roaming peacocks, four-poster beds, freshly cooked gourmet cuisine, two infinity pools overlooking the Caribbean Sea and a stunning plantation house dating back to 1763, this has to be one of the most picturesque Grenada hotels.

Crayfish Bay Organic Cacao Estate – Victoria, St. Mark’s: £

Looking to stay somewhere a little less ordinary and/or a little more affordable? Make a beeline for Crayfish Bay Organic Cacao Estate, just a ten-minute drive away from Mount Edgecombe Plantation Resort. Owned and run by Kim and Lylette Russell, Crayfish Bay is a 200-year-old organic, tree-to-bar cacao estate producing charcoal-roasted chocolate using upcycled equipment, developed by Kim for a fraction of the cost of the machinery used by big producers like Nestle and Cadbury – who Kim clearly isn’t very fond of!

Accommodation takes the form of two eco-friendly cottages (each with two rooms) built by Kim, Lylette and their team of staff and volunteer workers using wood and other locally sourced materials.

Whether you decide to have a go at being a cacao farmer for the day, enjoy a refreshing dip in the waterfalls, stroll around the estate admiring the scenery (it’s home to the oldest cast iron bridge in Grenada and the second oldest in the Caribbean) or simply relax in your hammock drinking hot Grenadian cocoa tea, you’re bound to have an unforgettable stay at Crayfish Bay!

Air Bnb

Kim and Lylette tend to do things a little differently at Crayfish Bay. While they don’t have a website, they do have a Facebook page and all accommodation bookings are managed via the Air Bnb platform.

If you’ll be staying in Grenada on a long-term basis, I recommend browsing Airbnb to see if you can find a cheap place to rent. When I visited Grenada in 2019, I stayed in three different Airbnbs dotted around the island. With prices starting from as little as £30 per night, I saved myself a huge sum of money on the cost of booking a hotel room for that period.

Petite Anse Boutique Hotel – Sauteurs, St. Patrick’s: £££

Just a short drive away from Mount Edgecombe in Sauteur’s, St. Patrick’s, nestled on a little cove among the clifftops overlooking the wind-swept Petite Anse beach, lies Petite Anse Boutique Hotel. With unrivalled views over the Caribbean Sea, on a clear day, you can see across to Grenada’s sister islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, as well as to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

I visited Petite Anse while on a press trip with Discover Grenada in 2018. While I’ve not yet stayed overnight at the hotel, I can certainly vouch for the restaurant, which serves quality local cuisine made using fresh, locally sourced produce. Pictured below is the mahi-mahi fish in batter in sweet-and-sour-style sauce, served with nutmeg beans, rice n’peas and provisions (the Caribbean term for veggie side dishes).

The swimming pool is equally enjoyable, as is the rum punch – although be warned, it really lives up to its name!

Sea Breeze Hotel – Grand Anse Rd, St. George’s: £

Perched on Grand Anse Road, Sea Breeze Hotel is one of the most – if not the most – reasonably priced hotels you’ll find so near to the award-winning Grand Anse Beach. There are over 45 different beaches in Grenada, but none quite as awe-inspiring as Grand Anse. A two-mile stretch of shimmering white sands and cobalt blue coastline, this is the beach you’ll see featured on most postcards.

Having stayed at Sea Breeze Hotel on a press trip with Discover Grenada in 2018, I chose to return for a week-long stay while holidaying in Grenada in 2019. Sitting directly opposite Grand Anse, Sea Breeze offers a range of rooms to suit different group types and budgets. While the rooms aren’t anywhere near as plush as those at the likes of True Blue Bay or Mount Edgecombe, they’re clean, comfortable and equipped with all the essential amenities you’ll need for your stay.
