Grenada Villa Rentals

Grenada know as the “Spice Island” is a jewel …sparkling bays that glisten in the sunlight over picturesque sandy coves…lush rainforests…exotic fauna…majestic mountains…staffed luxury villas…a wonderful undiscovered and largely unspoiled island. Three inhabited islands and a few uninhabited islets comprise the nation: Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique. The nation’s capital, as well as the majority of the population, is located on Grenada. Lush rain forests and thick vegetation-provide an exceptional green beauty that few places in the world can match.

Located in the Eastern Caribbean, the island is only 12 degrees north of the equator and the most southern of the Windward Islands. The island’s waterfalls, lush rain forests, volcanic crater lake, small villages, nutmeg and banana plantations, scenic hiking, pristine coral reefs and unspoiled beaches all contribute to make Grenada one of the most popular eco-tourism destinations for those seeking 'off the beaten track' natural beauty and charm. Indeed, 1/9 of Grenada’s land mass is preserved in the way of parks, natural sanctuaries and wildlife preserves. The island is, indeed, a haven for outdoor lovers of all types who will savor the peerless natural beauty.
