Spices are what first attracted Europeans to Grenada a few centuries ago but these days more and more visitors are arriving on the Caribbean island to search for their idyllic second home.

British Airways now flies to Grenada twice weekly from London Gatwick, evidence that this island is popular with Brits. As well as the scent of spices, notably nutmeg, hanging irresistibly in the air, Grenada is known for its picture postcard beaches, Grand Anse Beach being a favourite.

A key feature of the Grenadian Government’s development strategy is self-sustainability. Tapping into this, the island’s first carbon neutral development was recently launched by alternative investment company Emerald Knight. Located at the southern end of Grenada and the first of its kind on the island, opportunities to purchase off-plan property with an attractive buy-back scheme are now available there.

One way to save money when buying property in Grenada, or any other Caribbean island, is to use a currency specialist when transferring your pounds into dollars, or other local currency.
