Grenada is hard to beat for a Caribbean holiday, with gorgeous soft-sand beaches and a mountainous and lush rainforest. It's elegant little capital, St George's, is a strong contender for the prettiest in the region. Moreover, the so-called Spice Island is far less developed for tourism than many of the other main Caribbean islands. There are no resorts as such, no high-rise developments, and even the most popular beaches are usually quiet. At the same time, Grenada has a good selection of hotels to suit all budgets, along with some memorable restaurants and fun excursions. Most of the appealing places to stay, eat and drink, plus the finest beaches and St George's, are all conveniently concentrated in the island's south-west corner, so few journeys take more than 30 minutes.
