Grenada Holidays

Grenada is one of the lesser developed islands of the Caribbean, where you can hike through protected forests in the mountains and swim through marine protected areas in the ocean. Brightsun Travel offers great value holidays to Grenada in the best resorts along the island’s breath-taking turquoise coast, where you can watch the sunset over some iconic Caribbean scenery. And when you are ready to tear yourself away from the island’s inviting beaches, there is much more to discover… 

Grenada is famous for its spice plantations including nutmeg and cocoa, and what better way to start your journey away from the beach with some chocolate tasting at the Belmont Estate? This spice and cocoa plantation dates back hundreds of years. Continue into the lush green hills and you will find breath-taking pockets of protected wild rainforest that agriculture hasn't reached, where steep mountains protect Grenada’s raw natural beauty.
