SECLUSION Hotel: Petit Anse Location: St Patrick’s Vibe: Hospitable British couple Philip and Annie Clift, who grow their own produce, run one of the few hotels in the relatively undiscovered north of Grenada.

You could twin the hotel with a resort stay.”

Agent verdict: “This is great for families and independent travellers who want to explore the island,” says Caribtours’ Amberley Shermon. “It’s very good value for clients who still want a bit of luxury.”
