Pure Grenada is a tri-island state: Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, where the pace of life has a slower vibe. A time when food was created with love, care and attention and where the people you met took a moment to bestow a friendly wave or a smile.
In Grenada, where beautiful beaches abound, you can see the River Antoine Rum Distillery where the 18th century water wheel still crushes the sugar cane. If you are staying in the south of the island a drive through the rainforest will bring you to the 17th century Belmont Estate to experience a tree to bar tour and see how they create their fine, organic chocolate. In the fishing village of Gouyave you can watch how each nutmeg is still graded by hand. It is this attention to detail that makes the islands so authentic. Grenada is the Spice of the Caribbean, but it could also be the Sailing or Festival Island, hosting the Grenada Sailing Festival each year as well as Independence Day celebrations, the Carriacou Maroon Music Festival, the fascinating Shakespeare Mas, This one of a kind cultural event has the Carriacou islanders dressing up in colourful costumes to compete in reciting lines from Shakespeare’s play and the Grenada Chocolate Festival!
With its fragrant forests of cinnamon, cocoa and nutmeg, its collection of boutique, often family run accommodation, world-class beaches including Grand Anse and one recognised for having one of the prettiest harbours in the Caribbean in Grenada’s capital St. George- Pure Grenada will take you on a journey like never before!
