The Aqua Pool Bar & Terrace serves alfresco lunch daily. There’s a daily social hour between 5.30pm and 6.30pm each day where guests are invited to come together to enjoy speciality cocktails. |
Description |
Nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric and cloves: the flora of Grenada reads like the ingredients list for a Creole curry. Our specialists have explored this isle of spice, from its mountainous interior to the never-busy beaches, and can suggest how to include it on your trip through the Caribbean. Stay where your suite leads straight onto the beach or spend time on a privately crewed yacht, flitting between marinas. |
Day 1
Fly to Saint Lucia
On arrival you will be met and transferred by private car to the charming Fond Doux Plantation.
The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to relax and settle in to your home for the next three nights.
Day 2
Fond Doux is set on a 250 year old working cocoa plantation in the rainforest. This morning join the hotel's estate tour where a local guide explains its history and the process of cocoa production, as well as exploring the resort trails and showing you the local plant life.
Day 3
Today is at leisure to relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are feeling more active you might like to climb Gros Piton for incredible views or take an easier hike through the rainforest.
Day 4
You have the morning at leisure to explore before a private road transfer back to the airport.
The flight to Grenada takes 50 minutes and on arrival you will be met and transferred 15 minutes by private vehicle to Blue Horizons Garden Resort.
Day 5
Today is your first day at leisure on Grenada. The capital, St George's, is only ten minutes' drive away so why not start here?

Day 6
Why not head to Grand Etang National Park to explore some of the incredible flora and fauna of the island's interior?

Whilst in Grenada, a snorkeling or dive trip to the underwater sculpture park, the first of its kind, is not to be missed.

It's well worth exploring the rugged and undeveloped north coast of the island. Why not hire a car and driver to discover the area, stopping at a rum distillery and cocoa plantation on route.
