Grenada has been named the Top Overall Caribbean
Island and the Best Destination for Foodies in a highly respected survey conducted by Which?
Travel, the UK’s most trusted consumer advocacy organisation. With an outstanding customer
satisfaction score of 82%, Grenada outperformed major regional competitors such as Barbados,
Jamaica, and St. Lucia, further solidifying its position as one of the Caribbean’s most desirable
travel destinations.
This prestigious ranking is especially significant as Which? is an independent, non-profit
organization renowned for its rigorous, unbiased evaluations based on real traveller experiences.
Millions of UK consumers rely on Which? recommendations when making travel decisions,
meaning this accolade not only enhances Grenada’s global reputation but also serves as a
powerful endorsement that will drive greater awareness and influence travel demand from one of
the island’s key source markets.
Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, emphasized the impact of this recognition,
stating, “The UK is a vital market for Grenada, and to be named the best Caribbean destination
by Which? a trusted authority in consumer choice, is a game-changer for our visibility. This
validation reassures potential travellers that Grenada offers an unparalleled experience, from our
vibrant culinary scene to our unspoiled natural beauty. We will continue to leverage this
endorsement to drive bookings, showcase our island’s unique offerings, and ensure every visitor
leaves with unforgettable memories.”Chairman of the Grenada Tourism Authority, Randall Dolland, echoed this sentiment, adding,
“This top ranking by Which? Travel is a testament to Grenada’s world-class tourism product. Our
commitment to preserving our island’s culture, natural beauty, and warm hospitality is what sets
us apart. This recognition not only strengthens our brand positioning but also provides a
competitive edge in attracting high-value travellers looking for authentic, immersive experiences.”
Which? praised several of Grenada’s standout experiences, particularly its rich culinary heritage.
As the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, Grenada is renowned for its abundance of nutmeg, cinnamon,
and cocoa, which have shaped its reputation as a food lover’s paradise. Visitors can indulge in
authentic Caribbean flavours at local restaurants, street markets and immersive farm-to-table
experiences. One of the must-visit foodie experiences featured in the survey is the bean-to-bar
tour at Belmont Estate, where visitors can explore one of Grenada’s renowned eco-farms,
participate in hands-on chocolate-making, and discover the island’s deep-rooted traditions in
sustainable agriculture.
Beyond its world-class gastronomy, Which? Travel also lauded Grenada’s breathtaking
landscapes and welcoming atmosphere, stating, “Nowhere in Grenada feels overly touristy,
allowing you to savour its five-star scenery.”
For Grenada, this endorsement presents a significant opportunity to capitalise on the UK market,
leveraging the credibility and reach of Which? Travel to convert interest into bookings. As UK
travellers increasingly seek destinations offering authenticity, sustainability, and cultural richness,
Grenada’s top-tier ranking provides a compelling reason to visit.
With this accolade, the Grenada Tourism Authority will launch a targeted marketing and PR
campaign in the UK, maximising this recognition to boost awareness, inspire travel, and
strengthen Grenada’s position as the Caribbean’s leading destination for food and culture.
