The resort will be anchored by a 100-meter infinity pool, billed as the longest in the Caribbean, stretching from the heart of the resort all the way to the sand.

Amenities will include a pair of restaurants: the casual-fare Beach Club and the Asian-inspired Thai eatery, along with the “Silversands Spa,” which will include four treatment rooms, a sauna, a hammam, a temperature-controlled pool and a gym.

It’s the latest major new project for Grenada, which has been looking to carve a luxury niche in the increasingly competitive Caribbean market.
