Spice Island Beach Resort
Both grown-ups and the younger set will enjoy this five-star spot.
A true Caribbean classic, Spice Island sits right on Grand Anse, Grenada’s most famous beach. Suites spill out onto the sand, the spa is consistently rated among the best in the region, and the all-inclusive dining includes everything from afternoon tea to fine wines. Still family-run (the hotel is run by the family of the original owner, Sir Royston Hopkin), it feels both personal and polished, which is why guests keep coming back.
From the moment you arrive, the setting feels like a postcard brought to life – powdery white sand, calm turquoise waters and lush tropical gardens frame every view. Days here unfold effortlessly: start with a sunrise swim, linger over breakfast with ocean breezes, then choose between a relaxing spa treatment or simply sit back and watch the waves roll in. Here, luxury feels relaxed and every detail is designed to make you feel at home.
There are hotels around the world that are so well renowned that they barely need an introduction; Grenada’s Spice Island Beach Resort is one of them. This poster-child retreat is fronted by a quarter of a mile of the island’s most famous beach, Grand Anse, and has gardens that are dotted with palms, sea grape trees and other tropical foliage. Guests return here year after year to experience that family-run vibe (the hotel is run by the family of the original owner, Sir Royston Hopkin) and white-glove style service where nothing is too much trouble.
Spice Island Beach Resort has all the facilities you would expect of a five-star beach resort. You can SUP, sail and snorkel straight from the beach, or slow down the pace a little bit at the intimate Janissa Spa that’s surrounded by the tropical gardens. There’s a unique cascading water wall here as well as an outdoor relaxation lounge and sauna. Between activities such as beachfront yoga, bike rides and golf rounds, you can make the most of the included meals.
Five-star fun for the whole crew awaits.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
