realweddings.ca 63 Gorgeous Grenada destination + honeymoon Looking for an exotic wedding locale in the Caribbean with a little more mystique than your average hot spot? If you go to Grenada, you can expect all that — plus some spice to add siz- zle to your honeymoon. Known as the spice island, historically Grenada was the prime source for the world's supply of sweet spices such as nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and clove. Today it continues as one of the world's sole producers of nutmeg. e island also boasts some of the most exotic flora for botanical arrangements, ideal for a tropical wedding. Locally distilled rum and artisanal chocolates round out the island's romantic natural assets, literally a feast for the senses. Less frequented than many other Caribbean isles, Grenada has an unspoiled charm evidenced as much by the idyllic sites to visit as by the heartfelt hospitality you'll encounter here. Natural wonders range from secluded white and pink sand cove beaches and lush rainforest waterfalls, to pristine mountain lakes and nutmeg-picking trails. While the island remains rustic and charming, pampering is definitely on the agenda at destination resorts such as the new island jewel, Sandals LaSource Grenada Resort & Spa. With 225 rooms spread across three villages and personalized butler service offered in Millionaire, Rondovals and Skypool suites, you can experience effortless luxury, Grenada style. From the tropical fruit-infused water, to specialty cocktails, spicy spa treatments, nutmeg ice cream and sparkling pink sand beaches, a wedding here offers a taste of the Caribbean as easy and infinite as the view from your personal sky pool. Opt in for butler service and take the experience over the top. "e butlers are your magic genies," says Marsha-Ann Brown, Sandals Director of Romance. "One of the dynamics we embrace is how can we surprise and delight our couples? e butlers respond to each couple's individual likes and desires." e butlers add service in simple and extraordinary ways — from unpacking and attending to your attire or running a surprise champagne-toast bath for two, to arranging for a surprise proposal. Culturally, Grenada is ripe with landmarks, from the restored forts of the capital St. George's to the first underwater sculpture scuba and diving park in the Caribbean. And the weekly spice market in St. George's, one of the prettiest ports in the Caribbean, is not to be missed. At Sandals LaSource, couples can expect plenty of me-time with a dedicated Weddingmoon Dream Team taking care of every detail of your destination wedding and honeymoon. And if selecting hand-mixed cocktails, island music and stunning table settings gets to be a chore, you can enjoy the nightlife at this resort, including the exotic chocolate bar.
