Wildlife

In 1300 AD Carib Indians sailed from South America, settling in Grenada and its surrounding islands. They gave their name to the Caribbean and called the native leatherback turtle here “Kawana”. Leatherbacks are excellent navigators and often migrate thousands of miles between feeding and nesting grounds. Female turtles return each year to local beaches to lay their eggs, lending the name “Kawana Bay” to this new and beautifully located beachfront 5-star resort.

Grand Anse Beach

Grenada has 45 different beaches, and the 3km (2 mile) long Grand Anse Beach, situated on the sheltered leeward southwest coast, is one of its finest. Grand Anse is a short distance from the capital city of St George’s and is Grenada’s most popular beach and main resort area. Grand Anse Beach is also Grenada’s main water sports centre. Here you can go water-skiing, parasailing, kayaking, join a snorkel or dive tour in nearby waters teeming with fish, or simply relax and sunbathe. It has consistently been ranked as one of the best beaches in the world.

Nature

Grenada is unspoiled and uncrowded with a beautiful climate, lush landscapes and pristine beaches. Various excursions take you to the picturesque pastel-coloured houses that rise up the hillsides from the waterfront, and to the bustling spice market. Or you can go inland and view this verdant island from the mountains of the interior. Here, flowering shrubs and ferns nestle amongst tropical fruit trees. Waterfalls tumble down the steep-sided valleys through forests of teak, mahogany, saman and blue mahoe.

History

The country was traditionally inhabited by Carib Indians who migrated from the South American mainland. Grenada was a French and British colony, but gained independence from the United Kingdom on February 7, 1974. Grenada’s rich heritage is still very much alive and can be seen through the day-to-day practices of Grenadians. This island is often called “unspoiled” - being one of the less commercialized Caribbean islands has been a blessing in disguise and has attracted visitors looking to experience the raw beauty of nature.
