Grenada grows nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and cocoa, and the scent of spice follows you through its markets and estates. Grand Anse is one of the region's great beaches, two miles of soft sand a short ride from the harbour capital, St George's.

Offshore, the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park is an artificial reef of statues, and the sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are quiet and authentic.
