Best Private Pool Villas in Grenada (2026)

Grenada has five hotels with a confirmed private pool – the deepest list of any island in this guide, and roughly double what Anguilla or Grand Cayman can offer. That isn't luck. The island's luxury market grew boutique and villa-led rather than chain-led, so several of these properties were purpose-built with a private pool as a core feature rather than adding one to a top-tier suite later. Entry rates start around $514 a night.

Booking for live prices · Review for our take

Those are entry rates outside the January–May dry season. A fifth confirmed option, Spice Island Beach Resort, is covered further down – it's the island's all-inclusive pick and the one where the rate already includes your meals. One naming note: Cocoa Cove Resort traded as 473 Grenada Boutique Resort until 2026, and most booking sites still carry the old name somewhere. The private pool villas hub applies the same test everywhere else.

Which Grenada private pool villa should you book?

If the rate matters, book Calabash Hotel. It ties Silversands for the highest guest rating on the island at less than half the price, it's a Relais & Châteaux member, and its Pool Suite wraps a private patio and plunge pool behind high walls and bougainvillea – breakfast served to your own living room. Check Calabash availability – it's the best value-to-quality ratio in this entire guide, and small boutique inventory moves fast in February.

If you want the biggest villa, book Silversands Grand Anse. If you want the widest choice of private-pool rooms anywhere in the Caribbean, book Six Senses La Sagesse. If you want the smallest, quietest property, book Cocoa Cove. And if you'd rather not pay for meals separately, book Spice Island Beach Resort.

Silversands Grand Anse

Silversands is best known for its 100-meter infinity pool, the longest in the Caribbean. But that's the shared one. The confirmed private-pool product is a separate, much smaller set: five four-bedroom Beachfront Villas and four three-bedroom Hillside Villas, some exceeding 5,000 sq ft, each with its own full-size private pool rather than a plunge pool.

The split is worth understanding. The Beachfront Villas sit on one level directly on Grand Anse, widely considered Grenada's best beach; the Hillside Villas climb the jungle slope that rises north of the hotel. Both are a different product from the resort's rooms and suites, none of which have a private pool.

This is the highest-rated confirmed private-pool hotel on the island and one of the strongest in this guide, but the villas are scaled for a family or a group rather than a couple's week. Book this one if you need four bedrooms and a pool nobody else touches. Check Silversands rates – nine villas is the entire private-pool inventory here, so peak dates go early.

Six Senses La Sagesse

Six Senses opened at La Sagesse in April 2024 on Grenada's quieter southeast coast, set across 38 acres between two beaches around a lagoon in Saint David Parish – and it's the reason Grenada tops this guide on inventory.

The numbers are unusual for the category. 56 Pool Suites plus 15 villas running one to four bedrooms, all confirmed with their own private pool. Most hotels in this guide reserve a private pool for a handful of top-tier rooms; Six Senses built it into the majority of the property. That means you're far less likely to find the qualifying category sold out, and far less likely to book the wrong one by mistake.

The trade is location rather than quality. Saint David Parish is the quiet side of the island, well away from Grand Anse's beach strip and restaurants, which suits a stay-put trip and frustrates anyone who wanted to wander. Book this one if you want the certainty of a private pool without hunting for a category. Check Six Senses La Sagesse rates – it has the deepest private-pool inventory in the Caribbean, so it's the most forgiving late booking here.

Calabash Hotel

Calabash is the value pick, and calling it that undersells it. This small boutique property on the Lance aux Épines peninsula is a Relais & Châteaux member and ties Silversands for the highest guest rating in this guide, at roughly a third of the rate.

The confirmed Pool Suite is the reason to book: a private patio built around its own plunge pool, screened from neighboring suites by high walls and bougainvillea, with breakfast served straight to the suite's living room rather than a dining room. Separate hilltop villas at the property also carry a private pool. Beyond the room there are three restaurants, a spa and a beachfront position.

Be clear on the scale of the pool. This is a plunge pool, not the full-size villa pools at Silversands – ample for two, not for laps. That distinction is the entire price gap between them. Book this one if you're a couple and want the best-rated stay in Grenada without the villa rate. Check Calabash rates – a boutique property with one qualifying suite category clears well ahead of the dry season.

Cocoa Cove Resort

Start with the name. You'll search the wrong one. This property traded as 473 Grenada Boutique Resort from its 2018 opening until 2026, when it rebranded to Cocoa Cove Resort. Same hotel, same owners, same villas – but booking sites, review sites and older guides are still split between the two names, and Booking.com's own URL still carries the old one.

It's the smallest and most private property in this guide: just nine bespoke villas on a two-acre cliffside site above Old Harbour Bay at Petite Calivigny, on the Fort Jeudy stretch of the south coast, flanked by two secluded sandy beaches. The confirmed private-pool category is the Ocean-Front Private Pool Villa, a cliffside plunge-pool villa looking over the bay.

Alongside the villa pools there's a 70-foot infinity pool for the property as a whole. Nine villas means you'll recognize the other guests by day two, which is either the appeal or the problem. Book this one if you want the quietest, most design-led property on the island. Check Cocoa Cove availability – nine villas is the entire hotel, so this is the tightest inventory in the guide.

Spice Island Beach Resort

Spice Island is the fifth confirmed option and the one that changes the maths, because it's Grenada's longest-running all-inclusive luxury resort – the rate covers meals and drinks, which none of the four above do.

Its 17 pool suites span three tiers. The Royal Collection Pool Suite sits at the top with a full residential-size pool, a cedar sauna and a marble bathroom; the Luxury Almond Pool Suite pairs a private pool with a garden; and the Anthurium Suite steps down to a smaller private plunge pool. All three are on Grand Anse, the same beach as Silversands.

Compare it properly. A room-only rate at Calabash plus a week of restaurants isn't obviously cheaper than an all-inclusive suite here, and it's the only property in this guide where you can stop thinking about the bill. Book this one if you want the private pool and the meals in one number. Check Spice Island Beach Resort rates – 17 pool suites across three tiers, so name the tier when you book.

Why Grenada beats every other Caribbean island on this list

Five confirmed properties is roughly double what Anguilla, Grand Cayman or Barbados manage, on an island most travelers couldn't place on a map. The explanation is what Grenada didn't get.

No large all-inclusive chain ever took over this island the way they took Jamaica, Punta Cana or Antigua. Grenada's luxury tier developed late and developed small – boutique hotels, villa estates and owner-led properties, several of them built in the last decade with a private pool designed in from the start rather than retrofitted into a suite. Six Senses put a pool in 71 accommodations. Cocoa Cove built nine villas and stopped.

That has a real consequence for what you pay. Competition among five properties keeps entry rates down – Calabash and Cocoa Cove both open well under $600 with a genuine private pool, a rate that buys you nothing of the kind in Anguilla or Turks & Caicos.

There's a weather argument too. It isn't marketing. Grenada sits far enough south to be outside the main Caribbean hurricane track, unlike most of the region – direct hits are historically rare here, which makes the June-to-December window a more reasonable gamble than it is further north.

For the closest comparison, St Lucia's private pool villas run four hotels up the same Windward chain, Dominica has exactly one, and St Kitts and Nevis splits four across two islands. The Caribbean private pool villas hub compares them island by island.

When to go

January through May is Grenada's dry season and the most popular window for a private-pool stay – reliable sun, lower humidity, and the calmest sea on the south and west coasts.

June through December brings more rain and the official Atlantic hurricane season, but Grenada's position matters here. The island sits far enough south that direct hits are historically rare, so the off-season discount comes with meaningfully less risk than the same discount in the Bahamas or Turks & Caicos. If you're price-sensitive and willing to accept some rain, this is one of the better off-season bets in the region.

Getting there is straightforward. Maurice Bishop International (GND) is 15–40 minutes from every hotel in this guide, depending on which coast it's on – Grand Anse and Lance aux Épines are the short transfers, Saint David Parish and Petite Calivigny the longer ones.
