Holidays are a time to truly relax, refuel and restart before returning to reality. Here are our top picks for a restorative experience.

TI-KAYE SAINT LUCIA

Ti Kaye means ‘little house’ in Creole, and you’ll soon feel at home once you’re settled in on your private verandah, swinging in a hammock and gazing out to sea as hummingbirds flit amongst the tropical flowers. The hotel is very much a boutique proposition, strictly for adults and comprised of just 33 rooms that have been positioned to ensure spectacular sunset views. This is the perfect place to recharge and feel at one with nature, and you may well see little reason to leave the hotel during your stay.

On the clifftop you’ll find a small swimming pool, the Kai Koko Spa and the main Kai Manje restaurant. Head down to the beach during the day and relax in a cabana, enjoy a casual lunch at the Ti Manje restaurant and experience some of the most incredible snorkelling that Saint Lucia has to offer. There is also a PADI dive centre on site, an over-water yoga deck and a well-stocked wine cellar where you can arrange a romantic private dinner à deux. Each of the cute gingerbread-style cottages has a four-poster bed and openair shower, and the Ocean View Cottages have their own plunge pool, making them especially popular with repeat guests.

GRENADA

Grenada is famously known as the ‘Spice Isle’, though this wasn’t always the case. Nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon were only introduced to the island during the British colonial period in the 18th and 19th century, but the excellent growing conditions and relative proximity to Europe meant that Grenada quickly became one of the world’s most important producers of nutmeg.

This fragrant legacy lives on in the markets of the island’s capital, St George’s, and spices infuse everything from the fiery rum punch to the cuisine at the many world class restaurants. Our favourite places to dine in Grenada include the open-air Oliver’s Restaurant at Spice Island Beach Resort and celebrity chef Gary Rhodes’s eponymous restaurant at Calabash. For a unique experience, Armadillo is a small guesthouse set in the lush north of the island and offers a fine dining experience. You should also make sure you visit some of the more rustic local eateries, where you can try Grenadian staples such as oil down, a comforting one-pot stew, and the deceptively named lambie souse, which is a seafood dish centred on slow-cooked conch. Cocoa is another important crop for the local economy - don’t leave without trying Belmont Estate’s award-winning organic dark chocolate!

TOP SPOTS FOR ROMANCE

Take some time for two at a resort that delivers romance on a grand scale. Intimate accommodations, breathtaking views, pampering couple’s spa treatments and spectacular sunsets are the perfect recipe for a dream couple’s holiday.
