Best Luxury Hotels in Bamboo

Relais and Chateaux properties can always be relied upon for their finesse, outstanding cuisine and personal touches. And the fashionable, family-owned Calabash is no exception. It’s also a Virtuoso preferred hotel, member of Fine Hotels & Resorts and was named No. 1 Luxury Hotel in the Caribbean for 2019 by Trip Advisor. Found beside a particularly beautiful stretch of L’Anse Aux Epines Beach in Prickly bay and set in eight acres of tropical gardens, the hotel comprises 30 suites, five villas and sophisticated public areas – all of which are regularly refurbished. The emphasis is on relaxation – take meals on your balcony, on the sand as the water laps beside you, or in style at Rhodes Restaurant. Unwind with an aromatic warm oil massage at the Heaven & Earth Spa, play a game of gentle boules, or take a dive under the aquamarine waters.

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.

No doubt the most familiar brand on our list, Sandals has become synonymous with romance and honeymoons. They’ve perfected the all-inclusive experience for couples and offer superb wedding packages. This is a relatively large resort – 231 rooms are spread across three low rise villages, maintaining a sense of intimacy but with the benefits of expansive facilities. Sandals Grenada’s SkyPool suites are magical – open the balcony doors to reveal an infinity-edge plunge pool, appearing to merge with the clear blue sky. Many suites also offer butler service and outdoor soaking tubs. And if you’re easily bored on sun holidays, you’ll have no issues here. 10 restaurants, six bars, watersports, land activities and around the clock programmes of entertainment are included, with the option of splashing out a little extra at the Red Lane Spa or taking a trip to the nearby town of St Georges.
