Grenada

Grenada feels close to perfect in December. The rains have lifted, the beaches glow, and the entire island seems newly polished — a feeling amplified by expanded airlift, including new flights from Atlanta. Travelers come for the bright coastline, but also for the inland adventures: chocolate estates tucked into the hills, spice farms perfuming the air, and rainforest trails that lead to waterfalls. Along Grand Anse, Silversands Grenada brings sleek architecture and one of the longest pools in the Caribbean, wrapping its minimalist design around white sand and deep blue water. And then there’s the fantastic Silversands Beach House, too. The reimagined Spice Island Beach Resort returns this season with fresh interiors and the same easy elegance that made it one of the region’s iconic luxury resorts.
