Grenada is a tropical, three-island state, 90 miles (145km) north of Venezuela.

Boasting lush soils and a rolling mountainous interior, breathtaking waterfalls gush down from the centre to meet the sea and hikes through verdant jungle make for a truly memorable Grenada nature experience. Couple that with unblemished beaches reminiscent of those found in glossy travel magazines, billowing sails criss-crossing an azure coastline, a low-key lifestyle and unrivalled diving sites such as 'Bianca C' and you've got one of the most overlooked tropical havens in the Caribbean.

Set in a secluded bay on the beautiful Caribbean island of Grenada, The Calabash Hotel & Villas is the ultimate in pure elegance.

Enjoy every luxury on offer from breakfast on your private balcony prepared and served by your personal maid to the culinary creations of the famous Gary Rhodes Restaurant. Excellent service and attention to detail are the least you can expect.

The hotel comprises of thirty suites arranged in a horseshoe shape around eight acres of lush tropical gardens facing out towards the sea. Each suite is beautifully decorated, boasting its own balcony or patio, relaxing whirlpool bath and exquisite views of the opulent surroundings.

The service is second to none.

The famous Gary Rhodes inspired restaurant at The Calabash mixes elegant fine dining with the spices and flavors of the island. All the produce is locally sourced and of the best quality. The ambiance is enhanced by the evening’s entertainment, whether it is the beat of steel pans or beautiful sounds of the concert pianist.

Where the gardens meet the white powdery sands of L'Anse Aux Épines beach creates the perfect atmosphere for gentle dip in the warm inviting sea or sunbathing with a cold drink from Jefferson's beach bar. The epitome of calm and relaxation.
