Grenada, the southernmost of the Windward Islands, is renowned as the “Spice Isle” for its abundant production of nutmeg, mace, and other spices. This fertile, volcanic island offers a beautiful landscape, from rainforests and cascading waterfalls in its mountainous interior to white-sand beaches and lively coral reefs along its coastline. The tri-island nation, including the smaller sister islands of Carriacou and Petit Martinique, provides a range of experiences, from the capital of St. George’s with its historic harbor to secluded coves perfect for tranquil getaways. Its stable political environment, welcoming local culture, and growing tourism sector make it an attractive destination for both lifestyle and investment.
History: Inhabited by indigenous peoples for centuries, Grenada was sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1498. After failed English attempts, the French established a permanent settlement in 1649, developing sugar and indigo plantations worked by enslaved Africans. The island changed hands between the French and British several times before ultimately becoming a British colony. Slavery was abolished in 1833, and Grenada gained full independence in 1974.
