Petite Anse

Deep-breath escape in a remote and rugged position

Petite by name, petit by nature; this hidden gem is tucked away on Grenada’s lesser-visited north coast. It is rustically Caribbean and simple in style and design, yet it has a real home-from-home atmosphere. This is thanks to the friendly welcome and attentive service from everyone from the owners to the gardeners, housekeepers and chefs, many of whom live in local villages. Petite Anse’s slightly elevated position results in some unforgettable views of the sea, the winding coastline and a cluster of nearby islands to the north.

There’s a real focus on both natural and cultural sustainability here – with such a naturally spectacular setting such as this, this motivation should come as no surprise. Just a few of the practices and programmes in place include using solar energy to power the cottages when possible, supporting local conservation work such as protecting turtle nesting sites, and encouraging guests to ‘pack for a purpose’. As part of this initiative, Annie highlights what a difference bringing items such as pens, pencils, stationery and clothing can help local boys who started life at a disadvantage.
