Best Beachfront Sustainable Hotels and Eco Friendly Stays in Grenada
Where to stay for beachfront in Grenada
The 4 best beachfront stays in Grenada put you on the island’s finest sands, whether that is the long sweep of Grand Anse Beach at Spice Island Beach Resort and Blue Horizons Garden Resort, the unspoilt northern shore near Sauteurs at Petite Anse Hotel, or the Relais and Chateaux frontage of Calabash near St George’s. From St George’s in the south to Sauteurs in the north these stays are top rated for waking up to the sea, all locally or family owned and run by the people who built them.
How we choose the best beachfront stays in Grenada
What earns a place on this list is how these Grenada beachfront stays protect the coast they sit on, like Blue Horizons Garden Resort, the first property in Grenada to reach Green Globe Platinum, which sits just 300 yards back from Grand Anse and is run as a family owned resort. Because a beach is only as healthy as the people who guard it, Blue Horizons Garden Resort shows that a stay near Grand Anse can keep the shoreline thriving rather than wear it down.
Blue Horizons Garden Resort earns its Green Globe Platinum standing through hands on care of the land it occupies as a family owned property near Grand Anse, so the sand and water in Grenada stay clean for the birds and marine life of the coast and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct in owners who keep the shore intact, like Spice Island Beach Resort, a locally owned 64 suite property built up over decades directly on Grand Anse Beach by the Hopkin family, and Petite Anse Hotel, which looks after its own unspoilt stretch of Grenada’s quiet northern coast near Sauteurs. Because the Hopkin family at Spice Island Beach Resort and the keepers of Petite Anse Hotel are raising livelihoods on these beaches across generations, protecting the coastline is protecting their own future, and yours.

For a great example of a beachfront stay protecting its shore, see how one Negril hotel cut beach plastic with coconut trees instead of umbrellas.

Solar thermal panels heat all its water, a GrenSol array supplies around half its power, a reverse osmosis plant makes its own fresh water, and more than an acre of resort gardens grow fruit, vegetables and herbs for the kitchen, with replanted beachfront trees holding back coastal erosion.
Petite Anse Hotel is a small, owner run boutique hotel on Grenada's quiet northern coast near Sauteurs, built by English founder Philip on an unspoilt stretch of shoreline.
It runs on solar energy, hires from the surrounding villages, sources produce from nearby farmers and its own organic garden, and partners with the Ocean Spirits sea turtle conservation programme on the north coast.
Blue Horizons Garden Resort is a family owned garden resort set 300 yards back from Grand Anse Beach and the first property in Grenada to reach Green Globe Platinum, after ten consecutive years of recertification.
Its 6.25 acres of gardens shelter 27 bird species, 49 moth species and a working bee apiary, and the resort has expanded its solar PV array with two further installations to lift renewable output.
Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel is a family owned Relais and Chateaux beachfront hotel near St George's, bought by Leo and Lilian Garbutt in 1987 and now run by their three daughters, and it is Green Globe certified.
A solar farm and 180 panels supply about a third of its electricity, harvested rainwater irrigates the gardens, beach seaweed and food waste are composted into fertiliser, and most of its produce comes from the family’s organic certified L’Esterre farm in the north of the island.
