Point Salines International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Maurice Bishop airport, at Point Salines, occupies the south-western tip of Grenada: Grand Anse beach is about 10 minutes by taxi, L'Anse aux Epines a little further on, while the capital Saint George's and its historic harbour, the Carenage, remain further north, 15-20 minutes along the coast road. For travellers who want the sea in front of the room and a short transfer, Grand Anse remains the most convenient choice; those who prefer to wake up among the coloured houses of the Carenage accept a few extra minutes of transfer but gain the real life of the city.

Grand Anse and L'Anse aux Epines

Airport area · From Point Salines airport, Grand Anse is about 10 minutes by taxi (6-7 km): Coyaba and Radisson are on the beach about 6 km away, Allamanda a little further inland; the Calabash in L'Anse aux Epines is about 9-10 minutes away, Catappa Condos in Morne Rouge about 15 minutes.

Best for: Travellers who want the beach a few steps away and a short transfer from the airport, without giving up nearby restaurants and shopping centres.

Pros

Grand Anse beach, among the best known in the Caribbean, just minutes or steps from the properties
