Silversands Beach House - Grenada

Silversands Beach House is an intimate and exclusive hotel. Set in a romantic location, between a cliff and the paradisical Portici Beach in Grenada, this irresistible hotel offers an ultra-luxurious retreat. Service here is highly notable with prompt beach attendants, knowledgeable recommendations and natural smiles throughout. Melt stress away in the wellness room, cool off in the beachfront infinity pool and indulge in a Mediterranean-inspired feast at the gourmet restaurant. What’s more, you’ll have use of the world-class facilities at Silversands Grand Anse – including its state-of-the-art spa.

The hotel sits on Portici Beach, on the idyllic, southern tip of the island. The golden sands and calm waters make this an ideal spot for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. The capital, St George’s, with its pastel-coloured buildings and historic forts, is seven miles away. Stroll along the harbour, visit the Grenada National Museum or grab a bite to eat in Market Square. Around four miles north, Grand Anse Beach is worth a visit for its buzzing atmosphere – it’s here you’ll find sister hotel, Silversands Grand Anse. Climb into the fertile rainforests of Grand Etang National Park, which are 12 miles from the hotel. Or head 18 miles north to visit the Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station, where you can discover why Grenada is known as the spice island. Sample rum at River Antoine Rum Distillery, which is 26 miles away, or tour a working plantation at Belmond Estate, which is 24 miles away. Maurice Bishop International Airport is less than a mile away.

With just 28 rooms, there’s a real focus on quality over quantity here. Each building is thoughtfully placed to blend into the surroundings. They are either etched into the rocky hillside or perched on the beach – no high rises in sight. Colour schemes are kept neutral, with calming creams and natural woods – keeping the focus on the setting. Extra wide windows invite the view in and lead out to a furnished balcony that’s gently shaded by a canopy. Island View Rooms look out onto the mountains behind, while Ocean View Rooms enjoy ocean vistas. For direct beach access, opt for a Beachfront Bungalow, which are located steps from the sand.
