Exploring other parts of the world is one of life's true joys. Whether you prefer a fast-paced and adventurous vacay or a more relaxed and scenic trip, having an idea of what you would like to experience is always handy for trip planning. 

Well lucky for us in Toronto, there is one country that boasts a wide range of activities and now it is even easier to get to. 

Known as the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, Grenada is a country consisting of three islands (Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique) that boast turquoise waters, gorgeous natural wonders, adventures galore, and a welcoming culture. 

Gran Anse Beach (Tourism Grenada)

From ocean diving, arts and culture, and a seriously delicious food scene, Grenada should be at the top of your vacay list for several reasons. Don't believe us? Check out these exciting Grenadian activities for some inspo!

Sculpture Park

This is a truly one-in-a-lifetime adventure! Grenada is home to the world's first underwater sculpture park (a literal sculpture garden metres below the ocean's surface) and now it has a must-see new addition.

Found off the coast of Carriacou Island, Jason deCaires Taylor's new park 'A World Adrift' features 30 boats and vessels.

‘Sentinels’ Sculpture Park (Tourism Grenada)

Made with high-grade stainless steel and pH-netural marine cement, this is a feast for the eyes. Perfect for divers and snorkelers, these sculptures also help to preserve marine life with diverse habitat spaces. 

World-class hotels in Grenada

To make your trip to Grenada even more luxurious, you have to check out two of the island's newest hotels.

Six Senses La Sagesse is a beautiful wellness-focused resort with 56 pool suites (that's private guest pools!), and 15 hillside and beachfront villas. These stunning abodes are also designed to be self-sufficient and plastic-free, while the resort prides itself on offering wellness activities like meditation sessions and similar programming.
