Best Certified Sustainable Hotels and Eco Friendly Stays in Grenada
Where to stay for certified sustainable in Grenada
The 4 best certified sustainable stays in Grenada are family run properties that have put their green credentials on record, from Blue Horizons Garden Resort reaching Green Globe Platinum to Spice Island Beach Resort earning Grenada firsts and the climate smart, mangrove fringed True Blue Bay Boutique Resort. From Grand Anse Beach to the quieter bays near St George’s these stays are top rated for genuine, certified sustainability backed by decades of local ownership, including the Relais and Chateaux Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel run by the Garbutt family.
How we choose the best certified sustainable stays in Grenada
What earns a place on this list is how these Grenada certified stays prove their sustainability with independent, audited certification, like Blue Horizons Garden Resort, the first property in Grenada to reach Green Globe Platinum, which is checked against an external green standard rather than a vague in house claim. Because a coast as fragile as Grand Anse needs measured proof, and Blue Horizons Garden Resort sits 300 yards back from that beach in its own gardens where loose promises do nothing to defend the shore.
Blue Horizons Garden Resort holds its Green Globe Platinum badge by running to an audited standard year after year and keeping its grounds as planted gardens set back from Grand Anse Beach, so the sustainability behind a stay in Grenada stays real for the beach and birdlife it shelters and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct in locally owned, family run places with long roots on the island, like Spice Island Beach Resort, built up over decades by the Hopkin family and the first property in Grenada to earn its standing, and the climate smart, mangrove fringed True Blue Bay Boutique Resort led by Magdalena Fielden. Because Spice Island Beach Resort answers to the Hopkin family who have given it generations of care, and True Blue Bay Boutique Resort answers to Magdalena Fielden whose mangroves shield the coast, protecting that water and shoreline is protecting their own future, and yours.
