Visited in recent times by Prince Harry and The Princess Royal, but you don’t have to be a royal to be treated like one at the superb Spice Island Beach Resort.
Artfully infusing contemporary charm into the natural landscape of The Spice Isle, Silversands is the spot for low-profile luxury. Featuring the longest pool in the Caribbean at its centre, it not only commands an enviable place on one of Grenada’s best beaches, but weaves the tranquil ebb and flow of waves through the entire resort.
Minimalist by design, and mindful of its surroundings, owner Naguib Sawiris was drawn to the island for its breathtaking natural beauty, rich culture and welcoming people. Putting these at the forefront, the resort is a subtle celebration of Grenada. Exclusive in every aspect, its mature ambiance mixed with youthful style emphasise the serenity of the surrounding landscape (and makes a picture-perfect backdrop for the social media savvy). Cultural celebration continues with experimental cuisine. Chefs at restaurant Asiatique apply Thai cooking methods to Grenadian-grown ingredients. Where notes of global influence appear – in French décor or Asian-inspired cookery – they only enhance The Spice Isle’s existing splendour.
Everything is an artform on the Grand Anse. From the tranquil waters shimmering in glorious sunlight, to the original artwork selected for each room.
It’s no surprise then, that the spa is a standout. Offering to soothe the senses through an ice room, sauna, steam room or hammam, whiling away leisurely hours is all too easy. And though the building itself is a thing of beauty, it’s the massages we love most.
Exploring the flavour palettes of Grenada may lead you from bean to bar in a chocolate experience. Or, to high tea at the Tower Estates, touring the gardens of a grand Grenadian Heritage Home. For elegant evenings however, the resort has a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Both community and culture are said to inspire at Silversands, where the Grenadian Grill serves a selection of Mediterranean and, of course, Grenadian dishes. Set to a backdrop of sunset vistas, guests are serenaded by talented instrumentalists as dusk falls.
Escaping to tropical island life is to lounge where land meets sea. The sandy white shores of Grenada are no different. They host a wealth of activities to excite any wannabe divers and budding rainforest rangers. Under expert guidance, guests are invited to experience an untouched landscape in search of waterfalls and natural wonders. Off land, take the plunge, exploring an underwater world of submerged sculptures and marine wildlife.
Great for groups, this high-tech resort has a new addition in the shape of Blade, a private yacht exclusively available to Silversands guests. With forward and aft loungers to soak up the sun, parties of up to 12 can tour the island, accompanied by a small, dedicated crew. And if the summer kitchen doesn’t align with your resolve to repose, right at your fingertips lies the freedom to go the extra nautical mile. Request a specially curated on-board menu from the executive chef.
