Grenada is a Caribbean country comprising a main island, also called Grenada, and smaller surrounding islands. Dubbed the “Spice Isle,” the hilly main island is home to numerous nutmeg plantations. It’s also the site of the capital, St. George’s, whose colourful homes, Georgian buildings and early-18th-century Fort George overlook narrow Carenage Harbour. To the south is Grand Anse Beach, with resorts and bars.

This morning we have a sailing trip on the Caribbean coast of the island on board a 40 ft traditional wooden Carriacou sloop. After an informal ‘Mediterranean picnic’ we travel by fast speedboat to an offshore island for some ‘liming’: time for a cold Caribbean beer, a swim and relaxing with a book in the shade on a lazy afternoon. We dine this evening on board a restored Swedish lightship, an unusual and very picturesque setting for a renowned gourmet restaurant.

We visit the River Antoine Rum Distillery, still powered by its 1785 waterwheel, and may taste their startling rums before a traditional West Indian buffet lunch. On a tour of the 18th century Belmont Estate, originally planted for sugar cane, but now devoted to cocoa and nutmeg, we follow the old-fashioned processing of the cocoa beans and may purchase the organic chocolate bars of the Grenada Chocolate Company.
Day 07: Union Island B – L- D
We island-hop by ferry to Grenada’s small sister island of Carriacou, looking out for flying fish, brown pelicans and rare red-footed boobies en route. Landing in picturesque Tyrrel Bay, we drive up into the hills for superb views of Petite Martinique, Union island and the Grenadines stretching north. After a grilled fish lunch, we relax on the aptly named Paradise Beach before a private water taxi takes us across to Union island, where our comfortable hotel for 2 nights sits on the white sand beach and the yacht marina.

We have lunch on board, then continue north to Bequia. We are met at the dock and a 10-minute drive along the coast brings us to our elegant 4-star beachfront hotel, featuring two freshwater pools in the tropical gardens, a spa and a first-class restaurant overlooking the sea. Time for a rum punch …

Day 10: Bequia B – L- D
Following a leisurely breakfast, we have a short drive (the whole island is only 7 sq. miles) to the capital, Port Elizabeth. We take our bearings from the 18th century Hamilton Battery, located high above the harbour on Admiralty Bay, then walk down to visit one of the model boat-builder’s workshops for which the island is famous. We stroll through the lanes with their colourful wooden cottages and visit the delightful blue-painted St Mary’s Anglican church, before walking around the bay to lunch at a sophisticated beach bar. The afternoon is free for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on the beach.

We are up in good time to board the ‘Friendship Rose’, a 100 ft. Bequia schooner which served as the main island transport for decades. Once clear of the harbour, the sails are unfurled to catch the Trade winds; refreshments are served and we settle back on comfortable cushions to enjoy the scenic 2 hour sail across to the island of Mustique. We go ashore for a guided jeep tour to see the villas of the rich and famous before lunch on board.
