Geography

This small Caribbean nation consists of three islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. Grenada is by far the largest of the three, with a width of twelve miles (18 km) and a length of twenty-one miles (34 km). The island’s 133 sq. miles (440 sq. km.) are mountainous, volcanic terrain, reaching heights of over 2,750 feet atop Mount St. Catherine.

This topography provides the island of Grenada with one of the loveliest and most varied environments in the Caribbean, including crater lakes as well as a startling variety of plant and animal life. Forests shift to mangrove at the coast, giving way to stunning white sand beaches, brilliant blue water, and exquisite coral reefs.

The three islands of Grenada are located in the Eastern Caribbean at the southern extremity of the Windward islands, only 100 miles north of Venezuela. To the north lie St. Vincent and the Grenadines to the south Trinidad and Tobago.

What to Bring

Electricity

While Grenada’s standard electricity is 220 Volts, 50 Cycles, the Laluna Front Office offers adaptors if required. We always suggest to bring an adaptor for 220V, as we have only a limited amount of adaptors for guests use.

Currency

Eastern Caribbean Dollars is the local currency in Grenada. US dollars are accepted but we highly recommend that you exchange your currency into EC dollars for local purchases. This can be done at the Front Office. US $1.00 equals EC $2.60.

Attire

With Grenada’s close proximity to the equator, visitors to the island enjoy warm temperatures year-round. Our essential packing list includes a swimsuit, beach cover-up, sandals, lightweight clothing for day, and a few casual-chic outfits for romantic meals at the resort’s restaurant. Should you forget anything – from yoga pants to sunscreen – the Laluna boutique has the essentials available, and local shops are mere minutes away.
