The Calabash Grenada located on the Caribbean island of Grenada has long attracted the uppercrust of English society, with repeat guests including cricketer Allan Lamb, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and the late Conservative minister Lord Thorneycroft. The Daily Mail christened the Calabash the 'paterfamilias of Grenada's hotel scene' in 2003. Despite its excellent reputation among high-end, luxury hotels, the Calabash has an atmosphere of casual elegance with friendly, unpretentious service. There are 85 employees, making the ratio three employees to one guest. The hotel is small, with just 30 suites arranged in a horseshoe shape on eight acres of tropical gardens facing the sea. Personal maids serve breakfast daily on guests’ private balconies or patios.
From their rooms, guests can watch sailboats bobbing gently on the clear waters of Prickly Bay at L'Anse Aux Epines Beach. The secluded bay has lots of natural shade. The warm waters are calm, perfect for all levels of swimmers, and are a great base for sailing. The Calabash Grenada provides several activities for guests, such as whale watching, island tours of waterfalls and rainforests, deep-sea fishing, and fly and sail cruises where the Grenadine Islands can be viewed on a panoramic 25-minute flight.
The Calabash recently constructed the Heaven & Earth Spa on a natural hillside ledge overlooking the Caribbean Sea.The spa offers treatments that include Aromatherapy, Reiki, Indian Head Massage, and Swedish Massage. An example of a treatment is the Hot Lava Shell Massage done with natural heat and hand Tiger clam shells from the South Pacific.
