A Small Luxury Hotel of the World, accommodation choices at Spice Island Resort range from the superb to the spectacular. The 64 beachfront suites feature breezy exterior terraces and private lawn gardens – 17 of which also feature their own private swimming pool.
The hotel also boasts a private powder-fine sandy beach, a fitness centre, a boutique, complimentary non-motorised water sports, tennis and bicycles. Guests can also enjoy complimentary green fees at the 9-hole Grenada Golf Club. Plus, perfect for families is the Nutmeg Pod, a supervised play area available for children aged 3-12 years old.

Diving highlights within the marine park include Dragon Bay, Happy Hill and the Sculpture Park, all with plenty of marine life to observe (moray eels, lobster, eagle rays and turtles). There are plenty of sites for wreck divers too, including the San Juan and King Mitch which attract plenty of pelagic species including nurse sharks. Experienced divers can enjoy a day trip to Isle de Rhonde (weather permitting), famous for its steep walls covered in fans and colourful sponges as well as plenty of pelagic marine life encounters.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
