Spice farms, chocolate estates and a long white beach on the Caribbean's Spice Isle. Here's what Grenada is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
Grenada drives on the left, like the UK. Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
January to April is dry and sunny with a steady breeze. From April to July turtles nest on the north-east beaches. The hurricane season runs from June to November. Grenada is near the southern edge of the hurricane belt, but storms do still hit, so August to October is the riskiest time.
A long curve of soft sand with calm water, close to most hotels.
Snorkel or take a glass-bottom boat over statues on the seabed at Molinere Bay.
A crater lake in the rainforest, with short trails and mona monkeys near the road.
A working cocoa and spice estate where children can see chocolate being made from the bean.
A short, easy walk to a small waterfall and swimming pool in the hills.
Old fort with views over the pretty harbour of St George's, the capital.
Yes. It is friendly and relaxed, with calm beaches, easy waterfalls and spice farms to visit. It is less developed than some Caribbean islands, so it feels low-key.
A week works well for beach time and a couple of day trips. Ten days gives time to visit the smaller island of Carriacou.
There are flights from London, around nine hours, though some stop at another Caribbean island on the way. British passport holders don't need a visa.
Prices drop after Easter and stay lower through the summer. May and June are a good value compromise before the riskiest part of the hurricane season.
Put Grenada on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
