Grenada's premier luxury resort featuring beachfront suites with private pools, outdoor showers, and direct beach access. This intimate all-inclusive property offers exceptional service, gourmet dining, and one of the Caribbean's most beautiful stretches of Grand Anse Beach. Winner of numerous awards for excellence in hospitality.
Spice Island Beach Resort occupies a prized stretch of Grand Anse Beach in St. George's Parish, Grenada — consistently ranked among the Caribbean's finest shorelines. The resort is set within walking distance of the capital, St. George's, and approximately 10 minutes by road from Maurice Bishop International Airport, placing it close to local amenities while maintaining a sheltered beachfront setting. As an intimate all-inclusive property with just 64 suites, the resort has built a sustained reputation for personalized service since opening in 1987, earning multiple World Travel Awards, a AAA Five Diamond designation, Michelin Key recognition, and membership in Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Green Globe certification reflects a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship.
Accommodations span multiple suite categories — from Garden Pool suites with private plunge pools set among tropical gardens to the signature Cinnamon Hill and Royal suites that offer direct beach access and outdoor showers steps from the water. All suites feature luxury furnishings, rainfall showers, and butler call buttons, with higher categories providing private pools. The architectural character blends West Indian vernacular details with contemporary Caribbean elegance: open-air living spaces, plantation shutters, and natural materials suited to the coastal climate.
Olivia's Restaurant is the resort's signature dining venue, serving contemporary Caribbean cuisine built on locally sourced produce, fresh-caught seafood, and regional spices that give Grenada its 'Spice Isle' nickname. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the all-inclusive rate, with additional options available at the beach bar. Janissa Spa offers a full treatment menu including massages, facials, and body wraps using local nutmeg and spice-based products in a serene beachside setting. A fitness center, complimentary beachfront yoga pavilion, and a comprehensive water sports program — including kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling — complete the activity offering. The resort's intimate scale and award-winning service make it one of the Caribbean's most highly regarded all-inclusive properties.
