Poolside

Right down by the beach, Laluna’s square main pool is winged by lounger-adorned wooden decking, upon which you can relax with a good book, an ocean view, and a chilled glass of prosecco from the shaded open-air bar.

Children

Over-14s are welcome, but pay the full adult rate.

Eco-friendly

Laluna is closely involved with Grenada’s turtle conservation programmes, as well as beach clean-up operations.

Also

The hotel is largely open to the air, so smoking is allowed throughout.

In the know

Our favourite rooms

High on the hill, cottages 11 and 12 afford spectacular views of the crystal waters of the bay below. Lower down, Laluna’s beachfront cottage is just 40 feet from the water’s edge, meaning that you can start each day by sauntering from your floaty-draped four-poster bed to the sea. All cottages come with plunge pools on their veranda.

Packing tips

Insect repellent – mosquitoes can be an issue. Take a kite along to blustery, buffety Bathway Beach to the northeast and try your luck wrestling with the winds.

Also

Grab some of Laluna’s snorkelling gear and take to the waves – the undersea spectacle in these diamond-clear waters is unmissable.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

A hand-crafted woven palm roof caps the open-air dining area, propped up with rough-hewn tree-trunk beams. The hotel’s Calabrian owner imports fresh food and wine from Italy, meaning there’s always olives, pasta, prosciutto and the like available.

Dress code

Star-spangled glamour: an assortment of A-listers have holidayed here.

Top table

Secure a table for two in the corner nearest the pool and the ocean, where you can feel as though you’ve got the whole place to yourselves.

Last orders

The restaurant’s open throughout the day until 10pm; the bar until 11pm.

Room service

Snacks, drinks and meals can be brought to your cottage from 8am until 9pm.

Hotel bar

Shaded by a thatched roof, the Sunset Bar by the beach is a chilled Balinese living room affair, with day beds aplenty and sofas galore. Its predominantly Italian wine list is impressively extensive.
