From swimming pools in the sky to private butlers, these luxury hotels in Grenada have it all. They’re the best hotels for a milestone birthday trip, a posh girls getaway or romantic couples vacation.

Over the past several years I’ve personally stayed in and completed site inspections at dozens of hotels, all-inclusive resorts and 5-star properties on this lush island in the Caribbean while writing for magazines like Hola Latinos, Virgin Atlantic and the Globe and Mail.

These bucket-list worthy resorts are my top choices for where to stay in Grenada if you’re looking for a splash-out splurge. 

If you’re on a budget, but still want a lovely place to stay, check out our list of the  Top 3 Budget Hotels in Grenada.  

1. Silversands Grenada – Best Luxury Hotel on Grand Anse Beach 

Highlights of Silversands Grenada:

• Contemporary architecture and brand new construction
• Location is close to Grenada’s historic capital city of St. George’s and offers easy access for tours to Grenada’s rum distilleries, hiking to Grand Etang Lake or other points of interest.  
• Locally-sourced ingredients and fine dining make dining here a treat.  
• Far from cruise ship crowds.
• Perfect for people who love long beach walks.

Drawbacks: 

• The beautiful ribbon of a swimming pool is very shallow so it’s not the best place if you plan on doing cannonballs. 
• Although Grand Anse Beach does not have a sargassum seaweed problem, there can sometimes be an accumulation of naturally-occurring seaweed at the edges of the bay.

I recommend this Luxury Hotel For: Couples, Girls Getaways, Solo, Honeymoon and Foodies   

Get your camera ready for when you arrive at Silversands Grenada. It’s one of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever stayed at. You’ll definitely want a photo at check-in.

Situated on beautiful stretch of Grand Anse beach in St. George’s, it offers plenty of wow-factor. The 5-star experience begins in the lobby where a shimmering ribbon of a swimming pool – the longest in the Caribbean – leads to the turquoise waters. 

This contemporary design offers a Nikki Beach club meets zen vibe. The design was created by Reda Amalou and Stéphanie Ledoux of the award-winning French international design firm AW² known for their innovative projects in Asia.

Although minimalist in design there’s a sense of laid-back harmony in the property’s gardens, courtyards and reflection pools. 

Among the suite collection are 16 garden view suites, 16 ocean view suites, seven penthouse level suites, three ocean view one-bedroom suites and a penthouse.

The penthouse level suites feature breathtaking views from floor-to-ceiling windows and from the king-size platform bed decked out with a marble headboard and remote-controlled canopy. 

One of the highlights of a stay at Silversands is its inspired cuisine. Helmed by Chef Jean-Louis Brocardi, Silversands two main restaurants include open-air Grenadian Grill and upscale Asiatique, featuring Asian-inspired dishes with a focus on Thai flavours. 

Most ingredients are sourced through a partnership with GRENROP (Grenada Network of Rural Women Producers) which means the farm-fresh, organic and sustainably sourced flavours of Grenada shine.  

Continuing the local ingredient theme at the spa is a hydrotherapy circuit (complete with ice cave, sauna and experiential shower) and restorative treatments such as facials, wraps and couples massages feature Grenadian spices and botanicals.

The posh spa and photo-ops at Silversands Grenada makes it worth considering if you’re planning a girls getaway in the Caribbean.

 2. Calabash Boutique Hotel & Spa – Best Luxury Hotel on L’anse Aux Epines 

Highlights of Calabash Boutique Hotel & Spa in Grenada:

• Sailing, snorkelling and other water sports are available onsite.

• Service at this luxury lodging is award-winning and exceptional. 
• The pretty swimming pool with in-water loungers offers panoramic views. 
• Breakfast, half-board and all-inclusive meal plans are available.   

Drawbacks:

• Although Calabash is close to the West Indies Beer Company and Beer Garden, the secluded location in Saint George Parish means you’ll need to drive or take a taxi to dine at other restaurants in Grenada. 
• Among the best hotels in Grenada on the beach, crescent-shaped L’Anse aux Epines is a beautiful but it isn’t as long as Grand Anse beach. 
• Located at the most southerly tip of Grenada, West Indies where although clean, the waters aren’t as clear blue as they are on the western side of the island. 
• If you’re travelling with children, between January 15 and March 15th, children must be over the age of 12. 
• It’s far from St. George’s so not as easy to arrange DIY tours of the historic center or other attractions.   
• Closed August to October (check website for details). 
• There’s limited nightlife and it draws an older crowd. 

I’ve stayed at the Calabash many times and have always been very impressed with the service and quality of this resort. There’s literally nothing that’s not working perfectly or a staff person who hasn’t gone above and beyond to make sure my stay has been as enjoyable as possible.  It’s posh (but relaxed) and will satisfy even the most discerning traveller.

I’m not alone in being a fan. The Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa was voted #1 Luxury Caribbean Resort of the Year by Trip Advisor for 2019 and  The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) named owner Leo Garbutt 2020 Caribbean Hotelier of the Year – very well deserved!   

Tucked amid the palms of secluded Prickly Bay and family owned since 1987, this boutique hotel recently completed multi-million dollar renovations of its Beach Club, lobby, spa and pool zone, vaulting into the elite Relais & Chateaux collection.  

Highlights of a stay in one of the Calabash’s hilltop estate villas or 30 suites include a contemporary decor, stocked mini bar and Elemis bath amenities. Guests who opt for a Pool Suite score an outdoor shower and soaking tub as well as the opportunity to dip their toes in a private plunge pool, enjoy the free-standing tub and bask beneath the stars. 

Located west of the property are four Estate Homes, with each villa featuring its own infinity pool, panoramic ocean views and five-star luxury for up to 10 people. 

For things to do at Calabash there’s swimming, yoga and playing croquet as well as several water sports.  There are also excursions to the Underwater Sculpture Park, the world’s first underwater sculpture museum, located in Molinere Beausejour Marine Protected Area.

One of the most unique features of Calabash is the full English breakfast served on the terrace of your guest cottage (or on the beach) by your personal maid.

Another highlight is the elegant afternoon tea served on linen-topped tables set on the open terrace of the Piano Bar where blue-crested hummingbirds flit beneath a canopy of tropical blooms. Rum punch cocktails and canapes are nice ways to wrap up a day in the sun.

When it comes to fine-dining, Calabash is also home to the acclaimed Rhodes restaurant, helmed by UK celebrity chef Gary Rhodes. The dinner menu showcases local ingredients in creative international and Grenadian dishes such as lambie (conch) with coconut salsa or creamy callaloo and goat cheese ravioli.
