Best Design Hotels in Grenada

Opened in February 2024, Silversands Beach House was one of the island’s most exciting and distinctive openings in the past year, situated along the waters of Portici Beach, just a three-minute drive from the airport. The boutique resort is home to just 28 intimate rooms and suites, each with a strikingly designed sail-like arched canopy, and seamlessly blends indoor and alfresco living with floor-to-ceiling windows. The definition of tropical modernism, its sleek contemporary design weaves in neutral tones, calming shades, and natural woods create a chic aesthetic. The beachfront bungalows have direct access to the pristine sand and Caribbean Sea, while other rooms are perched atop a cliff edge giving sweeping views from king-sized beds. Quickly becoming an island must-visit is Azzuro, the resort’s destination fine-dining Italian restaurant and bar where hotel guests and island visitors can gather over indulgent Mediterranean flavours with an impressive view.

With just 16 cottages, Laluna is a breath of fresh air (metaphorically and thanks to the trade winds, literally) for those seeking to escape larger resorts. It caters for travellers wanting seclusion, intimacy and relaxation with its causal chic approach. This is the place for wellness – there’s a beachside yoga pavilion, Asian spa, organic garden and superb gym. It’s also sought-after for destination weddings, with its rustic luxury, muslin-draped four-poster beds and romantic interiors by Armani architect Gabriella Giuntoli and designer Salvatore Perna. The hotel blends Balinese, Italian, and Caribbean elements, in both its aesthetics and cuisine. It’s thatched-roof restaurant and sunset lounge sit right on the beach – the perfect spot for a romantic and unhurried meal.

Just a 10-minute drive from Silversands Beach House—conveniently in one of the resort’s Teslas—sits Silversands Resort Grand Anse, the original Silversands retreat that debuted in 2018. Slightly larger than its sister property, Beach House, this resort features 43 suites and eight villas, all designed with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that exudes understated luxury. Original artworks and sculptures are thoughtfully placed throughout, adding to the refined ambience. A standout architectural feature is the Caribbean’s longest pool, an impressive 100 metres in length, lined with swaying palm trees and offering uninterrupted views of the sea. Guests seeking relaxation can visit The Spa at Silversands, which is open 24 hours a day and offers an extensive range of treatments inspired by global wellness traditions. Options include heated bamboo cane therapy, Egyptian foot reflexology, and advanced body & facial treatments with 111SKIN products. The spa also boasts a $45,000 rose quartz crystal bed, designed for psammotherapy, a treatment using warm quartz to enhance relaxation. Dining at the resort showcases both international and Grenadian flavours. Grenadian Grill serves up fresh seafood, lobster, and flavourful shrimp tacos, while Asiatique brings a vibrant touch of Asian spice to the Caribbean, offering bold and inventive dishes in a stylish setting.
