Le verdict
Cela vaut-il le coup pour votre voyage de noces ?
Spice Island Beach Resort is Grenada's flagship — a family-owned, Relais & Châteaux all-suite property occupying the prime central stretch of Grand Anse Beach, operated by the Hopkin family for over 60 years and currently led by Sir Royston Hopkin's daughter Janelle. The 64 suites are all directly on or steps from the beach, distributed across distinct categories — Sea Grape suites with terraces opening onto the sand, Royal Collection pool suites with private plunge pools and butler service, and the signature Saffron and Cinnamon Pool Suites at the highest tier with private gardens and outdoor whirlpools. The atmosphere is unapologetically classic Caribbean luxury — manicured hibiscus gardens, white louvered shutters, hand-painted spice motifs in the rooms, daily afternoon tea on the terrace. The rate is fully inclusive — every meal, every drink including champagne, all watersports, and the spa included for stays of three nights or more. This is the Grenada honeymoon for couples who want classic island warmth, family-run hospitality with staff who have worked here for decades, and the security of an all-inclusive without the wristbands or buffet sprawl of mass-market resorts. Service consistency is extraordinary; the Hopkin family knows returning guests by name.

Recommandation de chambre
Quelle chambre réserver
The Cinnamon and Saffron Beach Suites — the apex Royal Collection accommodations directly on Grand Anse Beach — feature private plunge pools, outdoor whirlpools on the beachfront terrace, and dedicated butler service. The Saffron suites sit at the northern end of the property facing the longer sweep of Grand Anse; the Cinnamon suites face the southern crescent toward Mount Cinnamon. For couples wanting full beach access without the Royal Collection price, the Sea Grape Beachfront Suites offer direct sand access from a private terrace at roughly half the Royal Collection rate and are widely considered the best value in the property.

Jour par jour
Itinéraire de 7 nuits pour votre voyage de noces
Arrival on Grand Anse
Direct from New York or Miami to Maurice Bishop International (GND) in 4 hours, then a 10-minute transfer along the south coast to Spice Island Beach Resort. The Hopkin team welcomes honeymoon arrivals with a chilled coconut and a tour of the suite — typically with rose petals on the bed and a chilled bottle of champagne included. First dinner at Oliver's, the main resort restaurant on the beach, with a five-course menu showcasing Grenadian spice cuisine.
Grand Anse & Property Day
Spice Island sits on the most central stretch of Grand Anse, so the full two-mile beach is walkable from the property. Morning swim, afternoon at the Janissa's Spa (the 60-minute massage with Grenadian nutmeg oil is the signature). The all-inclusive includes every meal and drink, so lunch at the beachfront restaurant Sea & Surf includes champagne and lobster as standard. Sunset cocktails at the bar overlooking the bay.
Belmont Estate Cocoa Tour
The Hopkin family arranges day tours to Belmont Estate, Grenada's defining 400-year-old cocoa and spice plantation. The 90-minute drive north passes through rainforest and small coastal villages. The estate tour walks couples through cocoa fermentation, sun-drying, and the Grenada Chocolate Company's bean-to-bar production. Lunch on the verandah is the creole buffet — oildown, callaloo, fresh juices. Return via the Annandale Falls stop.
Underwater Sculpture Park
Spice Island offers complimentary snorkel and kayak gear, and a guided boat trip to Molinere Bay's Underwater Sculpture Park is bookable directly through the concierge. The park sits in 3-8m of clear water and the figures — Jason deCaires Taylor's installations — have colonised with coral and reef fish over twenty years. Three-hour trip, lunch back at Sea & Surf, afternoon rest.
Spice Tour & St George's
A guided tour through the rural spice plantations of Gouyave and the famous Nutmeg Processing Cooperative — Grenada produces a third of the world's nutmeg and the cooperative still hand-sorts the kernels. Continue to St George's, the photogenic horseshoe-port capital, for lunch at BB's Crabback Caribbean Restaurant (the namesake spicy crabback is the must-order) and a walk through the spice market.
Sunset Sail to Carriacou or Catamaran Day
A full-day catamaran charter through Spice Island's concierge — typically heading north to Carriacou (Grenada's smaller sister island) or to the Tobago Cays for snorkeling. Lunch on board with grilled lobster and rum punches, snorkeling at Sandy Island, and a sunset return into Grand Anse Bay. The most romantic day of the week for most honeymooners staying here.
Spa Morning & Departure
Final breakfast on the suite terrace, a 90-minute spa treatment included in the rate, and the short transfer to Maurice Bishop International. The Hopkin team typically packs a Grenadian spice gift box — nutmeg, mace, cinnamon — for the journey home. Most departures leave in the late afternoon, giving honeymooners a full final morning on the beach.
Évaluation honnête
Ce qu'il faut savoir avant de réserver
All-inclusive rate is genuinely all-inclusive but the rack rate is high — couples wanting à-la-carte flexibility should consider Calabash or Mount Cinnamon.
Hurricane risk July-October; the resort closes for renovation in September each year.
Style is classic Caribbean — manicured gardens, white louvered shutters, traditional service — and not minimalist or modern like Silversands.
Property accepts families but is dominated by honeymooners and returning couples; honeymoon atmosphere is strong year-round.

FAQ
Questions fréquentes
Good for honeymooners?
Spice Island is widely considered Grenada's most romantic resort — the all-suite configuration, beachfront positions, classic Caribbean elegance, and the Hopkin family's attentive service make this the canonical honeymoon choice on the island. Couples who have stayed at Sandy Lane Barbados or Jumby Bay Antigua will recognise the operating tradition.
Best time to visit?
December through May is the ideal dry-season window with cooling trade winds. March and April are the most stable months. The resort closes annually in September for renovation, so July-August is the last window before the closure and reopens in October. November is the re-opening with quieter rates and improving weather.
Book in advance?
Royal Collection suites (Saffron and Cinnamon Pool Suites) book 6 months ahead for high season. The Sea Grape Beachfront Suites have more flexibility but still benefit from 3 months of lead time. Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter sell out a year ahead. Honeymoon packages typically include a complimentary suite upgrade and champagne arrival.
Adults-only?
Spice Island accepts families but the suite layout, the all-suite configuration, and the unhurried atmosphere mean the property skews heavily toward couples and honeymooners. There is no children's club. Families with young children are rare except during specific Caribbean holiday weeks, and the honeymoon atmosphere is consistent year-round.
Best room type?
The Saffron and Cinnamon Pool Suites are the apex — directly on Grand Anse with private plunge pools, outdoor whirlpools, and dedicated butlers. For lower budgets, the Sea Grape Beachfront Suites offer direct beach access from a private terrace at roughly half the price and are widely considered the best value-to-experience ratio at the property.
How to get there?
Maurice Bishop International (GND) is 10 minutes from Spice Island Beach Resort. Direct service operates from JFK (American, JetBlue), Miami (American), and London Gatwick (British Airways). European travellers without a direct usually connect via St Lucia (SLU) or Barbados (BGI). Spice Island arranges all airport transfers, included in honeymoon packages.
