Grenada, known to many as the Spice Isle is offering more than just beaches and sun.

From nature-immersive experiences to the quiet resilience of its sister islands, the country is showing why it remains one of the Caribbean's most intriguing destinations.

Achsah Gulston and Kerry Patrick travelled to Grenada to get a closer look.

00:00A lush tri-island nation of fewer than 200,000 people.
00:05Warm, unhurried and rich with character.
00:09Grenada is now welcoming more of the region to rediscover its charm.
00:14Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Grenada.
00:16Hosted by the Grenada Tourism Authority,
00:19media professionals from Trinidad and Tobago were given a glimpse into the soul of the island.
00:25Grenada has long been one of the region's treasured tourism destinations.
00:30And the Tourism Authority says the island is more ready than ever to welcome visitors.
00:37From its colorful roadside villages to meals that taste like Caribbean comfort reborn.
00:43Off a stop, a private nature experience at Mount Carmel waterfall.
00:48A retreat built around slowing down, refreshing the mind and nourishing the body.
00:55Here, yoga meets river breeze and stillness becomes its own therapy.
01:02We began Nature Spa last May.
01:05And it all came together as part of the Grenada Chocolate Festival actually.
01:09And I did not know Joakim or Sheba at that point in time.
01:13So it was really synchronicity that brought us together.
01:17And a joint love for nature, for beauty, for the way that these types of environments make us feel.
01:26When Hannah's session ends, Sheba steps in, grounding the experience with a natural skincare routine.
01:33So the name of the brand is Omi.
01:35And Omi, from my maternal side, I'm German.
01:38And so that's what I call my grandmother.
01:40My grandmother introduced me to just being in nature, walking around, walking in the forest and so on.
01:45And Omi is also OMI, only Mother Earth's ingredients.
01:49So I kind of locked myself in.
01:51But it was also very important to me when I became a mother.
01:54It just hit home how important it is to have pure skincare.
01:57Everything that we put on our skin goes into our body.
02:00And what's a nature retreat without food?
02:03Created with the same philosophy.
02:05Right now I'm cooking some plant-based Caribbean-style food.
02:10Started off with some zucchini fritters.
02:13Then lentil corn soup.
02:16And then we have some mushroom linguine pasta with creole sour soup.
02:22Seasoning peppers, creminto peppers as you know.
02:28Our journey continued to the sister island of Cariakou, a short 30-minute flight away.
02:34Tourism is also its lifeline.
02:3816 months after Hurricane Beryl's destruction, the impact remains etched across the island.
02:45Officials insist Cariakou is open for business, rebuilding with quiet determination.
02:52However, there is beauty still standing after the storm.
02:57From powdery white sand islands to turtles gliding through crystal water.
03:03To Cariakou's evolving underwater sculpture park.
03:07A world adrift, launched in 2024 with 30 installations.
03:13Back on the mainland, St. George's pulses as the cultural and commercial heart of the country.
03:20Grenada's long relationship with spices, especially nutmeg, flavors not just its cuisine but its identity.
03:29And perhaps it's that blend of warmth, resilience and spice that makes Grenada taste just a little different.
03:39Whether it's found in a waterfall's mist or a shared meal, Grenada reminds you that within the Caribbean, there is still so much beauty undiscovered.
