What if your idea of a holiday island demands palm trees? Well you can get them - and breadfruit and papaya, too, on Grenada, the most far-flung of the Windward Islands. Apart from the sybaritic bliss of relaxing on a Caribbean beach (average temperature in June is 86F) thinking of Sue Lawley and her Radio 4 guest shivering back home, the island has watersports, waterfalls, rainforest to hack through and spice farms and restored plantation houses to visit. And it’s available for half-term.
A one-week break including direct return flights from Gatwick to Grenada departing Saturday, June 1, costs pound;620 (a discount of pound;75 on the brochure price) per person, based on two people sharing, including self-catering air-conditioned accommodation at True Blue Bay and free breakfasts.
True Blue is set on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean, about 15 minutes’
drive from the capital, St George’s, and has a waterside bar, restaurant and swimming pool. Contact Just Grenada: 01373 814 214; www.justgrenada.co.uk.
