The Calabash Hotel & Villas enjoys a secluded bay setting on the Caribbean island of Grenada. Intimate, private and relaxing, Calabash offers suite accommodation, gourmet cuisine directed by Gary Rhodes and high standards of personal service.
The powdery sands of L'Anse Aux pines beach are breeze-cooled and palm-studded, perfect for gentle sunbathing or relaxing in the shade with a drink from Jefferson's beach bar. Prickley Bay's warm waters are calm and inviting for swimmers or further out scuba divers can enjoy all that is good in the Caribbean sea.
The hotel has thirty suites housed in ten buildings which are arranged in a horseshoe in eight acres of tropical gardens, these comprise superior, whirlpool or plunge pool suites. All have balconies or patios where breakfast is served by your own maid.

"The finest place to eat in Grenada is Calabash, which has had some input and inspiration from English chef Gary Rhodes... The intention is not simply to transfer dishes down to the Caribbean, but to adapt the techniques to fit the environment..." Financial Times
"If you are into food try the Calabash in St. George's, I bumped into the one and only Gary Rhodes who is opening a restaurant at the hotel in October. But after enjoying a fabulous lunch, it's obvious his influence is already present.
Known as the Spice Island it's a good choice for Gary, who told me "I love Grenada and it's an exciting venture. I'm helping train chefs in my style of cooking and it's a brilliant opportunity with more and more British visitors" If you want to try a Gary Rhodes recipe back home and need a pinch of help, head from the spice market and fill your bags with mace, cinnamon, nutmeg and more and then hope for the best..." The Sunday People
