Silversands Grenada

Silversands announced a new era for Grenada when it opened in 2018 on Grand Anse, the island's celebrated two-mile beach. Where the Spice Island's hotel tradition is gingerbread and gardens, Silversands is confidently minimal: low pavilions of stone, timber and glass by AW2 architects arranged along an axis defined by the resort's showpiece—a 100-metre infinity pool, among the Caribbean's longest, running arrow-straight from the lobby terrace towards the sand and sea.

Rooms and suites continue the calm—pale stone floors, teak, neutral textiles, deep terraces—with beachfront suites steps from Grand Anse's exceptionally swimmable water and hillside villas adding private pools. The style is closer to St Barth or Bodrum than the traditional West Indies, which divides opinion locally but has brought the island a new audience.

Dining runs from the Grenadian-inflected beachfront grill to Asian-fusion at the main pavilion, and the bar programme takes rum seriously in the island manner. A serene spa, gym and water sports round the offer, while Grenada itself—spice markets, waterfalls, the underwater sculpture park a short boat run north—remains one of the Caribbean's most rewarding islands to explore. For design-minded travellers who want Grand Anse at their feet, Silversands is the island's clear leader.
