Grenada, the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, is renowned for its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and warm hospitality.

Simple Stays Grenada offers a distinct opportunity to experience the island’s captivating charm and genuine character through thoughtfully curated, unpretentious accommodation.

These establishments, nestled amidst lush tropical gardens or perched along the island’s expansive coastlines, provide an ideal base for guests who appreciate the beauty in simplicity and wish to forge a deeper connection with Grenada’s natural wonders and rich culture.
Operated by local families who take pride in sharing their island’s heritage, Simple Stays cater to visitors who value personal touches, home-cooked Grenadian cuisine, and insider knowledge of hidden gems. Whether it’s eco-minded backpackers, couples seeking a romantic yet unassuming retreat, or families wanting to experience the true essence of island life, Simple Stays offer a serene respite where guests can immerse themselves in the rhythm and warmth of Grenadian hospitality. From the renowned powdery sands of Grand Anse Beach to the verdant trails of Grand Etang National Park, Simple Stays Grenada promises a memorable escape that captures the spirit of this Caribbean paradise, ideal for those who believe that the most extraordinary experiences often come from the most ordinary moments.
