Our Best Kept Secrets

Less than 1 1/2 hours from Grenada's airport and just one hour from the capital St. George's, the north of Grenada and Sauteurs are a step back in time to a quieter Caribbean. Visit our historical spice plantation Dougaldston Estate near Gouyave, the Amerindian stone carvings at Duquesne or Mt. Rich, the rum distillery at River Antoine with its water wheel from 1785 (still in use), or go to a plantation house for a Grenadian-style three course lunch. The north of Grenada also boasts award winning organic chocolate production, a nutmeg receiving station where you can see all of the steps towards getting your spice for the garnish on the rum punch, award winning spring water bottling, and natural goat cheese production.

Enjoy the beauty of this lovely island, with whale watching from your own balcony from February through May, trips to several nearby beaches, turtle nesting and hatching at Levera Beach from March through July, and guided hikes with Telfor Bedeau along back roads or the coast, to sulphur springs or into the rain forest. And don’t miss the entertainment of the Tivoli drum festival in May, Carnival in August, the beach parties at Bathway at Christmas and Easter, Fish Friday (every Friday) in Gouyave or the St. Mark’s Food Fest (last Saturday of every month) in Victoria. It's all happening in the north!
