Why Calabash?

• Grenada’s only ‘all-suite’ luxury hotel, situated on powdery white sands of the secluded L’Anse Aux Epines beach, with safe swimming and fabulous Spa at Calabash

• Voted one of the best hotels in the world and is the no. 2 hotel in the Caribbean according to TripAdvisor

• The unique service of full à la carte breakfast is an event at Calabash served on the guests’ private balcony and prepared to order by each suite’s personal maid or enjoy a private breakfast on the beach.

• Gary Rhodes has produced menus using the best island produce to create top quality dishes to suit the tastes of the most discerning visitors to Grenada.

• The Beach Club restaurant headed up by British chef Mark Banthorpe, serving lunch as well as ‘tapas bites’ throughout the day.

• Extremely friendly, long serving staff, most trained to City & Guilds International Vocation Qualification standards.

• The appeal of this beautiful Caribbean “Isle of Spice” lies not only in its fabulous beaches but in its lush tropical interior, which is great to explore.

Why Grenada?

• Grenada is the island that has it all. Dramatic scenery, tropical rain forests, waterfalls, white sand beaches, turquoise sea and some of the warmest and friendlies people you’ll ever meet.

• Grenada is known as the "Isle of Spice" because it produces and exports the second largest amount of spices in the world. Hard to believe for such a small island!

• Divers are spoilt for choice, between the healthy, flourishing coral reefs and underwater volcanoes; the countless shipwrecks or the eerily beautiful Underwater Sculpture Park.

• The historic capital of St. George’s is further evidence that this flawless island has preserved its cultural authenticity.

Personal viewpoint

Our love affair with Calabash has lasted for many years and is in part due to the seductiveness of the prettiest of all the Caribbean islands, Grenada, with its warm people, fabulous beaches and lush countryside. However, the appeal of this particular hotel is due to the fact that it is extremely well run by The Garbutt Family, with the focus on personal attention. Whilst Calabash is certainly a top class property, and Grenada’s best, the emphasis is on pure elegance and Caribbean informality, which is incredibly addictive. With the new branding and refurbishment that took place at the Calabash in Autumn 2015, it has brought the hotel up to another level with its amazing new infinity pool, fabulous refurbished suites and the to ‘die for’ ultra-modern bathrooms. The food at The Rhodes Restaurant and The Beach Club is simply outstanding and is complimented by the truly magical ambience. All suites are styled with a luxurious and contemporary feel, and the fabulous Spa is a must.
