The first of these, Silversands Grand Anse, opened in 2018 beside an “immaculate” two-mile beach. Its “centrepiece attraction” is a 100-metre infinity pool, the longest in the Caribbean, “flanked by willowy royal palms”. And this year, its owner – the Egyptian telecoms billionaire Naguib Sawiris – opened a smaller resort, Silversands Beach House, on a headland nearby. Its 28 bungalows all have sea views from their rear decks, and below them lies a “gorgeous” beach. These hotels sit on Grenada’s sheltered western shore. Another, Six Senses La Sagesse, recently opened on the Atlantic-facing east coast, which is more “rugged and bracing”. It lacks a beach, but its saltwater lagoon and “large” infinity pool make up for that, and its wild setting is splendid.Â

The island’s main town, St George’s, is “winningly” ungentrified. Beyond it lie spice farms and cocoa farms that produce excellent bean-to-bar chocolate, and often welcome visitors. There is also good hiking in the island’s mountains: they rise steeply to an impressive 840 metres, and are swathed in primary-growth forest.Â
And the sailing and snorkelling along the west coast are delightful – you might charter the Savvy, a “merrily gaudy” wooden sloop owned by Danny Donelan of Savvy Sailing.
