Many families head to Bermuda or the Bahamas for Caribbean vacations and, while these islands are undeniably beautiful, some family travelers opt to head to less-crowded islands where they can access the same sand and sea without the crowds.
Grenada, also known as Spice Island, is a hidden gem among Caribbean islands. It’s the perfect destination for families in search of soft, white-sand beaches; crystal-clear blue waters; and plenty of opportunities for kid-friendly adventures.
When my family travels, we enjoy relaxing on the beach. However, after a day or two of sun and sand, my kids and I start to get restless. Grenada is a perfect choice for families like mine because the island is also home to a rainforest with hikes ranging in difficulty from gentle to rugged, stunning waterfalls perfect for swimming, and a national park where Mona monkeys roam wild. Families who like to snorkel can visit the world’s only underwater sculpture garden. Families can also tour a farm to learn how chocolate is made or take an e-bike tour to explore local towns.
Because Grenada is a small island, nothing is ever too far away. The entire island can be circumnavigated in about two hours, so families can make the most of their vacation without spending a ton of time commuting.
Grenada is also home to several family-friendly resorts. Six Senses La Sagesse is in a remote part of the island on a shimmering lagoon. Silversands Grand Anse is another family-friendly option. This beachfront resort boasts the longest infinity pool in the Caribbean. Both hotels have an on-site kids’ club and plenty of family-friendly activities.
Visit soon before this tranquil island skyrockets in popularity.
