An intimate 30-suite boutique property offering personalized service and sophisticated Caribbean elegance. Each suite features private patio, contemporary design, and custom amenities. The renowned Rhodes restaurant delivers exceptional fine dining. Adults-only tranquil atmosphere perfect for romantic getaways.
Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa is a 30-suite adults-only property set on a private beach in L'Anse Aux Epines, a quiet peninsula on Grenada's southern coast in St. George's Parish. L'Anse Aux Epines — known locally as Prickly Bay — is a well-established yacht anchorage area approximately 10 kilometres from St. George's and 12 kilometres from Maurice Bishop International Airport. The peninsula's calm Caribbean-side waters, coral reef fringes, and absence of large-scale resort development give Calabash a genuinely secluded character that remains within easy reach of the island's main attractions.
Opened in the 1960s as one of Grenada's earliest upscale properties, Calabash has evolved through successive renovations into a Relais & Châteaux member and Michelin Guide-recognized destination. The 30 suites are individually decorated with contemporary Caribbean furnishings, private plunge pools or Jacuzzis set on shaded verandas, and direct or partial views of the private beach and surrounding gardens. The resort's intimate scale — no more than 60 guests at full occupancy — allows for genuinely personalized service that stands apart from larger all-inclusive properties. Contact details and reservations are handled directly through the hotel, with the team maintaining awareness of individual guest preferences across return visits.
The resort's fine dining restaurant, developed through a collaboration with British chef Gary Rhodes, continues to serve sophisticated Caribbean cuisine incorporating locally caught lobster, fresh fish from Grenadian fishing boats, and produce from the island's interior farms and spice estates. Breakfast is included for all guests and presented as a leisurely, unhurried affair. The spa offers a focused menu of massage, facial, and body therapies using local ingredients including Grenadian nutmeg oil and cocoa butter. A dedicated water sports desk arranges snorkeling, kayaking, and day sails toward the neighboring Grenadines. The private beach fronting the resort is reserved exclusively for guests.
