Tours and Transport
Airport Transfers
We want you to feel welcomed from the moment you arrive in Grenada.
So if you are coming from overseas, airport pick-ups and drop-offs can be arranged at competitive rates. We are about an hour and a half drive from the airport.
Bus
If you are travelling by bus, we can collect you from River Sallee Junction or Sauteurs.
The nearest bus stop (River Sallee) is about a 20-minute walk away, or we can arrange a lift to the bus stop. Buses connect to Sauteurs, Grenville, St George’s, and other parts of the island.
Tours
Half-day or full-day tours can be arranged and personalised to your interests and retreat intentions — including mindfulness, reflection, or eco-therapy elements.
Alternatively, we can organise taxis or car hire if you prefer to explore the island independently.
Parking is available at the retreat house.

Wildlife
Grenada offers a beautiful immersion in nature — from tropical beaches and coral reefs to lush rainforests and cool mountain ranges.
The northern part of the island is especially known for birdwatching, and you don’t even need to leave the retreat house to enjoy it. Hummingbirds, hawks, bananaquits, and egrets are regular visitors, bringing colour and activity to the garden and skies.
Nearby Levera Beach is an important nesting site for several endangered turtle species, including the magnificent leatherback turtle. During nesting season, guided turtle tours are available, offering a rare and awe-inspiring opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures.
Closer to home, you may spot iguanas and mongoose, while the coral reefs are teeming with tropical fish and fascinating sea life.
Grenada’s central rainforest is a rich and vibrant ecosystem, home to mona monkeys, armadillos, and an extraordinary variety of exotic plants.
Whether exploring on foot or simply listening to the sounds of nature around you, the island invites a deep sense of connection, wonder, and restoration.

Sports
Grenada is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkelling and is home to the world’s first underwater sculpture park.
A variety of water sports are available, particularly at Grand Anse Beach such as jet skis and paddle boards, alongside river tubing, hiking, horse riding, and golf.
Locally, there is an informal early-morning exercise group on Bathway Beach, as well as a friendly community Pickleball Club.
There is also the well-known 'Hash,' where walkers and runners follow a trail at a different location on the island each week.
If you prefer just to watch, there are often local football and cricket games nearby as well as various national and international sports events.

Local Area
Hummingbird Retreat House is set on a very quiet road in Bathway, offering peace, privacy, and a deep sense of calm.
The nearest beach is less than a ten-minute walk away and has toilets, showers, and free Wi-Fi. The closest village is around a twenty-minute walk, while the nearest town, Sauteurs, is about a twenty-minute drive. We are happy to offer guided walks in the local area for those who wish to explore.
The retreat house sits on the edge of Levera National Park in St Patrick, the northernmost parish of Grenada.
Levera Beach is around a forty-minute walk away, with a peaceful lake just twenty minutes from the house. For those who enjoy a steep climb, a walk up Levera Hill is well worth it. This extinct volcano rises 254 metres above sea level and rewards you with breathtaking views from the historic Welcome Stone.
From the retreat house, you can look out across the sea towards Carriacou, with several small uninhabited islands closer to Bathway Beach, including Sandy Island.
Boat trips can be arranged for visits to this island, offering a truly special tropical 'desert island' experience.
There is plenty to see at night too because our rural location is ideal for stargazing. We have beautiful clear nights when the sky comes alive with a vast number of stars — visible even from within the house, in the courtyard.
Ease into a slower rhythm of life here, and let the friendly, local community show you how to “lime” — the Grenadian way of saying relax and simply be.

Island wide
Grenada offers so much to discover, and we recommend visiting the official Grenada Tourism website for inspiration.
The island covers just 120 square miles, making waterfalls, rainforests, forts, and markets all easily accessible within a day trip. A chocolate factory is just 20 minutes away, with a rum distillery even closer.
Grenada is a tri-island nation, and day trips to Carriacou, by boat or plane, are possible. Here you can enjoy Paradise Beach, Tyrell Bay, and other stunning locations.
Guests travelling from overseas may choose to combine their retreat with a hotel stay in the south of the island — allowing time for both retreat and sightseeing.

Culinary
Grenada has a rich and varied food culture, with many restaurants and seasonal culinary events throughout the year. These include celebrations such as the annual Chocolate Festival, the Carriacou’s Corn Festival, island foodie tours, and plant-based “farm to table” experiences.
You can wander around town markets and bountiful gardens to learn more about the island’s spices, medicinal plants, and tropical produce. If you’re interested, our cooks are also happy to share a few tips and techniques for authentic Caribbean cooking during your stay.

Culture
The retreat house is located in the northern part of the island, an area known for its strong cultural traditions and rich heritage. So whether you're coming from the busier South of the island or from overseas, staying here offers a chance to experience a more authentic rhythm of Grenadian life. Learn some of the ancient wisdom of cultures that have shaped this country— such as learning about herbal remedies and bush teas, discovering African drumming traditions, or visiting historic Carib stone carvings by the island’s earliest inhabitants.
Throughout the year, Grenada hosts a variety of events that warmly welcome visitors and celebrate community, music, and tradition. These range from Carnival celebrations and live concerts to smaller, locally rooted gatherings. One such event is the Saraka — a joyful cultural evening of African drumming, dance, and shared traditional food, offered freely in a spirit of gratitude and hospitality. These events provide a meaningful way to connect with the heart of Grenadian culture.
