3) St. George’s, Grenada
Nicknamed the Spice Island due to its exports of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. However, Grenada has more to offer than just enticing aromas. Still relatively undiscovered by the masses, this is a great option for those craving seclusion. With over 45 white and black sand beaches to get lost along, you’ll never get tired of the tranquil views. Scenic drives, lazy Caribbean vibes, and half a dozen waterfalls complete the ultimate relaxation vacation. Island food is spicy and flavorful. Splurge on posh seafood dinners for $25. Cheap meals are plentiful too, for $7USD. Beer and wine is $3-$4USD. Public transportation is a breeze. Buses and speed boat taxis around the island are between $1-$4. Hotels are pricey, but budget options still exist. The 3-star Gem Holiday Beach Resort starts at $120. The chic hotel-condo La Heliconia starts at $75. The most you’ll spend is getting there; flights start at $580. Most will say it’s worth the cost.
