Say goodbye to Toronto and hello to Caribbean bliss with this Grenada travel guide
Exploring other parts of the world is one of life's true joys. Whether you prefer a fast-paced and adventurous vacay or a more relaxed and scenic trip, having an idea of what you would like to experience is always handy for trip planning.
Well lucky for us in Toronto, there is one country that boasts a wide range of activities and now it is even easier to get to.
Known as the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, Grenada is a country consisting of three islands (Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique) that boast turquoise waters, gorgeous natural wonders, adventures galore, and a welcoming culture.
From ocean diving, arts and culture, and a seriously delicious food scene, Grenada should be at the top of your vacay list for several reasons. Don't believe us? Check out these exciting Grenadian activities for some inspo!
This is a truly one-in-a-lifetime adventure! Grenada is home to the world's first underwater sculpture park (a literal sculpture garden metres below the ocean's surface) and now it has a must-see new addition.
Found off the coast of Carriacou Island, Jason deCaires Taylor's new park 'A World Adrift' features 30 boats and vessels.
Made with high-grade stainless steel and pH-netural marine cement, this is a feast for the eyes. Perfect for divers and snorkelers, these sculptures also help to preserve marine life with diverse habitat spaces.
To make your trip to Grenada even more luxurious, you have to check out two of the island's newest hotels.
Six Senses La Sagesse is a beautiful wellness-focused resort with 56 pool suites (that's private guest pools!), and 15 hillside and beachfront villas. These stunning abodes are also designed to be self-sufficient and plastic-free, while the resort prides itself on offering wellness activities like meditation sessions and similar programming.
Silver Sands Beach House is a great (and jaw-dropping) hotel option for those wanting to escape and relax. With 28 breathtaking cliff and beach-side rooms, you'll be sleeping on the (literal) edge of Grenada! Bucket list — check.
Located in the capital city of the same name, St. George's Market is your place to experience all of the bountiful and delicious produce Grenada has to offer.
With a wide variety of tropical fruits and veggies, you cannot leave without sampling some local sugar apples, pawpaw, or breadfruit. Don't forget to grab some nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon — after all, Grenada is the Isle of Spice!
With WestJet's new flights to the Spice Island, getting to Grenada is just five and a half hours away.
Weekly flights from Toronto start in November and are set to continue until April 2025, which means you'll be able to check out the island's natural beauty in a snap!
Already packing your bags? We get it. Grenada is ready for your next adventure or relaxing vacation.
While the sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique have indeed suffered from the aftermath of the destructive Hurricane Beryl, Grenada is still open for business as usual and will always make for an unforgettable Caribbean vacation.
