The Best Hotels Near Spice Island Beach Resort, by the Record
-
Eight acres of Grand Anse Beach, two miles of white sand outside the door, and not a seashell tchotchke in sight. This all-inclusive, all-suite resort keeps things quietly contemporary, with Caribbean-colonial bones and enough restraint to feel grown-up. Plunge pools, a kids' club, steel drums at dinner, and a Michelin Key: the all-inclusive format has rarely looked this composed. St. George is a lower-key destination, which suits the place perfectly.
-
Twenty-eight suites and villas on Grand Anse beach, with interiors that look more Greek island than Caribbean floral print, which is a relief. This small, intimate resort sits outside the hurricane belt on an island that hasn't yet been overrun, so the pace stays genuinely easy. The beach club handles the days, with a bar, an all-day barbecue, and water sports; Savvy's handles breakfast and dinner. The villas add full kitchens and outdoor living areas with big views.
-
Sixteen cottages on a secluded white-sand beach near Grenada's southern tip, each with its own plunge pool and an open-air shower pointed at the sea. The resort reads like beach shacks from a distance, which is half the point: inside, Balinese antiques and four-poster beds do the talking quietly. A Calabrian chef runs the restaurant, and if the organic garden isn't enough, you can fish with him for dinner. Barefoot luxury, taken seriously.
-
Thirty-six suites on a quiet stretch of Grenada coast, holding a Michelin 2 Keys distinction, and still family-run after decades, which in the Caribbean counts as a form of resistance. The style is colonial without the kitsch, the rooms are generous, and some come with plunge pools. A beach restaurant, a poolside one, and a dressier piano-lounge dinner round out the evenings, so the pace shifts without you ever having to leave the property.
-
A 330-foot infinity pool runs along Grand Anse Beach, which does a reasonable job of explaining why guests rarely leave the property. Silversands is a design-forward resort with pale minimalist architecture that steps back and lets the Caribbean do the heavy lifting. The spa keeps the same quiet logic, local ingredients, no theatrics. Forbes Four Star. The crowd tends to be people who find all-inclusive resorts exhausting.
-
Walking paths paved with nutmeg shells and cocoa skins tell you everything about how seriously this resort takes its setting. Six Senses La Sagesse sits on a 38-acre headland on Grenada's quiet south coast, its 56 pool suites and 15 villas arranged like a small village between two oceanfronts. The spa leans on Caribbean botanicals, the kitchens pull from on-site gardens, and the kids' programming is extensive enough that parents actually disappear for a while.
