Adrenalin Junkies
Do you get excited at the thought of challenging the wind while sailing at high speeds? Does diving eerie underwater sculptures peak intrigue, or is there an urge to experience the twists and turns of the Balthazaar River while going adventure river tubing? If you’ve answered yes to all of those questions, then try our Annual Grenada Sailing Festival in January. The rest you can do at any time of the year.
The Elite
What does 5-star accommodation, private jets and fine dining all have in common? You – the elite traveller! Discover the spoils of life at any time during the year because whether you decide to hideaway at the Calivigny Island or sample the exquisite cuisine of famous TV Chef Gary Rhode’s Restaurant, the secret luxurious side of the Spice Island await you.
Culture Cravers
If you’re intrigued by the culture and traditions of another country, then the important events in your calendar should be April’s Carriacou Maroon & String Band Festival, May’s Grenada Drum Festival, the Spice Mas Festival in August and December’s Camerhogne Folk Festival! They are all experiences never to be forgotten.
Sports Enthusiasts
With 5 Regattas, 1 cycling tournament, 1 triathlon and a bill fish tournament throughout the year, Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique is nothing short of a playground for sporting events. The only thing missing is you.
Party Animals
With Carriacou’s Carnival in February and Grenada’s in August, the Spice Islands are the only ones in this region celebrating 2 carnivals per year. With colorful costumes, a plethora of Jab Jab revelers and soca music at its best, these Carnival Festivals are Grenadian expressions in all its glory. So, if you love a lifestyle filled with heavy entertainment, a carefree attitude merged with traditional folklore, then February and August are the best times to visit.
Sun & Beach Holidaymakers
If you enjoy a vacation without exerting any energy, then this category is for you. You can laze around on the beach, take a water taxi to the city, have persons cater to your needs and do nothing all day. If this defines you, you can experience the Spice Islands at any time during the year.
