Twenty-eight villas reviewed across Grenada. Laluna Estate villas list from $1,995 per night. L’Anse Aux Epines House (seven bedrooms plus two-bedroom Sugar Mill Tower) sleeps 18 to 20 in a single buyout. Calabash Caribali (five bedrooms, 10,000 square feet) sits inside the five-star Calabash Hotel grounds. At 12 degrees North, Grenada sits below the standard Caribbean hurricane belt; Peak six-bedroom rates from $16,000 to $42,000 weekly.
Grenada is the Caribbean destination buyers under-research because the name is mistaken for two other places. It is not the Spanish city. It is not St Lucia. It is the southernmost Windward island at 12 degrees North, 160 kilometres north of Trinidad, 95 kilometres south of St Vincent, with the world’s underwater sculpture park installed by Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006 and the largest accessible wreck dive in the world at the Bianca C. The hurricane-belt math is the second under-told fact. Mainland Grenada sits below the standard September-October hurricane track. The 2004 Ivan landfall remains the once-in-a-generation event; Beryl in July 2024 struck Carriacou (the island 50 miles north of the mainland) as a category 4, and mainland Grenada saw outer-band rain but minimal damage.
Five villa zones cover the editorial inventory. Lance aux Epines on the south coast, the residential zone with the highest concentration of luxury-villa stock, where Calabash Hotel Estate Villas (including the five-bedroom Caribali) and L’Anse Aux Epines House (seven plus two bedrooms, sleeping 18 to 20) sit. Grand Anse, the two-mile-plus south-west beach where Mount Cinnamon and a small set of beach-side villas sit. Morne Rouge and BBC Beach, the honeymoon-and-seclusion corner where Laluna Estate Villas (seven units) command the highest published nightly rate. Westerhall on the south-east coast, the quieter villa zone with Atlantic-side views. The far north (Sauteurs, Levera) for the seclusion week away from the south-coast cluster.
Three resort-villa anchors hold the named inventory. Laluna Boutique Beach Hotel and Villas (north of Morne Rouge, BBC Beach side, seven Estate Villas with four bedrooms each, $1,995 per night starting rate verified on laluna.com May 2026). Calabash Hotel and Estate Villas (Lance aux Epines, including the five-bedroom Caribali at 10,000 square feet, verified on rentalescapes.com May 2026, with a complimentary-night promotion March 1 to October 31, 2026, excluding the July 31 to September 30 closure window). Mount Cinnamon (22 villas and suites on the hill above Grand Anse). L’Anse Aux Epines House is the single-property full-buyout trophy at seven bedrooms plus two-bedroom Sugar Mill Tower.
The rest of this page is the structured guide. Five zones and what each does well, the best villas by group size, the cost data, the hurricane-clause question, the closure-window question, and the six properties we considered and did not recommend.
Five villa zones across the Spice Isle. Drive time to GND airport, character, beach access, and what each is for.
Distance to GND: 8 km, 15 minutes. Beach: private beach at Calabash and walking access to L’Anse Aux Epines beach. The south-coast residential zone, highest concentration of luxury-villa stock. Calabash Hotel Estate Villas and L’Anse Aux Epines House sit here. The right pick for the first trip and the resort-villa hybrid pattern.
Distance to GND: 6 km, 12 minutes. Beach: the two-mile-plus Grand Anse Beach. Mount Cinnamon sits on the hill above. The long-beach pick. The right base for the walking-on-the-beach pattern, the south-west boat trips, and St George’s town visits 10 minutes north.
Distance to GND: 10 km, 18 minutes. Beach: the half-moon BBC Beach (Magazine Beach) and Pink Gin Beach. Laluna Estate Villas (seven four-bedroom units, $1,995 per night starting) sit here. The seclusion-and-honeymoon corner. The right pick when the trip is the property, the swim from the room, and the smaller scale.
Distance to GND: 18 km, 28 minutes. Beach: Atlantic-side coves and the Westerhall Estate beach. The quieter villa zone with Atlantic-side views. Larger plot inventory, fewer named-resort villas. The right pick for groups who want a quieter base 30 minutes from the south-coast restaurant rota.
Distance to GND: 38 km, 70 minutes. Beach: Levera National Park, Bathway Beach. The seclusion-week corner. Smaller villa inventory, longer airport transfers, the right base for the diving-and-rainforest combination at Grand Etang. Closest base for the Carriacou ferry from Grenville.
Distance to GND: 8 km, 15 minutes. Character: the working capital and the cruise-ship port. Not a primary villa zone but the dinner-circuit base. Petit Bacaye, BB’s Crabback, Patrick’s Local Homestyle Cooking, Coconut Beach. The right rotation base for villa guests staying south.
Two positions we would not book in for a villa week: St George’s town centre (working capital, cruise-port traffic on call days), True Blue and the medical-school district (St George’s University catchment, dense student-housing context, wrong character for the trip).

Rates in US dollars. Grenadian general sales tax of 15 percent and 10 percent service charge apply to most resort-villa products and are typically included in the headline rate at Laluna and Calabash. Independent villas list net of tax and service. Pre-arrival grocery service is included at Laluna. Private chefs at independent villas run $450 to $800 a day plus food at cost. Calabash Resort closure window: July 31 to September 30, 2026.
Grenada at 12 degrees North sits below the standard September-October Caribbean hurricane track. The 2004 Hurricane Ivan landfall remains the once-in-a-generation event in living memory. Beryl in July 2024 struck Carriacou (the island 50 miles north of mainland Grenada) as a category-4 storm; mainland Grenada saw outer-band rain but minimal damage. The base-rate hurricane exposure on mainland Grenada is meaningfully lower than St Lucia, St Vincent, Barbados, or the Leeward Islands further north.
The correct hurricane clause to insist on is a 75 percent refund if a category-2 or above storm makes landfall within 48 hours of the booking window, plus a no-fault rebook option if the airport (GND) closes for more than 24 hours due to weather in the 14 days before arrival. Laluna and Calabash hold versions of this clause in their direct contracts. Independent owners and the smaller platforms vary; the named-storm clause should be in writing.
The wrong adjustment is to assume that the lower hurricane risk means no risk. Tropical storm Bret in 2023 caused south-coast disruption without making landfall. Category-1 conditions a few miles offshore are enough to close beach access for two to four days. The off-season weeks (July through October) still carry the rain risk and the broader Caribbean unpredictability, even when the storm tracks are mostly north.
For Christmas and New Year, the top six villas in our Grenada inventory are typically committed by July of the previous year. For Christmas 2026, June is the safe booking month. For February and March, October to November is the safe window. The Laluna Estate villas (seven units) and the Calabash Caribali book fastest.
Caribbean villa rentals run on 30 to 50 percent deposit on confirmation, balance 60 days before arrival. Security deposit of $1,500 to $5,000 held against damage and refunded within 14 days of departure. Laluna and Calabash hold the strongest cancellation terms (full refund up to 90 days out, sliding scale to 30 days). Hurricane-clause specifics are non-trivial and must be reviewed in writing.
The structure to walk away from: any villa where the contract is held by an individual owner without a Caribbean-registered management company, with no escrow, no card hold, and no platform intermediary. About four to seven villas in the Grenada public listings still operate this way. The deposit-return fight is the most common Caribbean-rental complaint. We do not list any of these.
Six Grenada properties currently advertised on the major platforms that we did not include in our editorial list, with the reason each was disqualified.
The villa is the destination. The underwater sculpture park, the Bianca C wreck dive, the Grand Etang rainforest, and the spice plantations are the rest of the trip.
Petit Bacaye on Westerhall. BB’s Crabback at the Carenage. Patrick’s Local Homestyle Cooking in St George’s. The grilled lobster at Coconut Beach. The chef at Aquarium Beach Restaurant on Magazine Beach.

Seven nights through the December to April peak window on the top-tier resort villas. Calabash holds a complimentary-night promotion for stays of seven-plus nights between March 1 and October 31, 2026. Off-season opens to five and occasionally three nights.
GND takes direct flights from JFK (4h20), Miami (3h30), London Gatwick (8h30), and seasonal Frankfurt. Most luxury villas are 10 to 25 minutes from the airport on the south-west coast.
Lance aux Epines for the south-coast residential zone (Calabash, L’Anse Aux Epines House). Grand Anse for the long-beach access. Morne Rouge for honeymoon-and-seclusion (Laluna). Westerhall for the quieter eastern shore.
Laluna villas start from $1,995 per night. Calabash Caribali (5BR, 10,000 sqft) sits at the upper trophy band. L’Anse Aux Epines House (7BR + Sugar Mill Tower, sleeps 18 to 20) is the largest single-property buyout.
Largely yes. Grenada sits at 12 degrees North, below the standard hurricane track. The 2004 Ivan landfall is the once-in-a-generation reference. Beryl (July 2024) struck Carriacou 50 miles north; mainland Grenada saw outer-band rain only.
Yes for buyers planning a late-summer trip. Calabash closes annually July 31 to September 30. The complimentary-night promotion for Estate Villas runs March 1 to October 31, 2026, but excludes that closure window.
At Laluna and L’Anse Aux Epines House, in-villa dining is coordinated and included at the higher-tier rates. Calabash Estate Villas come with full breakfast service. Private chefs at independent villas run $450 to $800 a day plus food at cost.
Thirty to 50 percent on confirmation, balance due 60 days before arrival. Security deposit of $1,500 to $5,000. The named-storm clause should be in writing.
The top six villas typically commit by July of the previous year. For Christmas Week 2026, June 2026 is the safe booking month.
For the diving buyer, yes. Grenada has the Caribbean’s Underwater Sculpture Park (installed 2006), wreck diving at the Bianca C (the world’s largest accessible recreational wreck dive), and reef diving along the south-west coast. A two-tank dive runs $130 to $190.
