Paradise Bay Beach Resort & Spa, Grenada

Posted June 11th, 2008 by

Paradise BayJames Post, the developer of the Paradise Bay Beach Resort & Spa in Grenada has taken sustainable travel to a whole new dimension.  His Paradise Bay Beach Resort & Spa on the Southern Caribbean island of Grenada has taken environmental tourism by storm.

First off, James decided that his resort should be off Grenana’s power grid, so he built the first ever utility-grade windmill on the island (see it in the photo).  The windmill provides 150% of the resort’s power and sends its excess electricity to Grenada’s electric company.

The resort offers a complete carbon offset for your vacation — planting approximately 40 trees in Ethiopia to offset carbon emissions from airline flights and ground transportation to and from the resort.

The list for this fabulous resort goes on and on.  Here are just a few more things we love about Paradise Bay:  (1)  The resort has its own organic garden where most of the vegetables for meals come from; (2) They have developed a surface well with underground channels to collect rainwater; (3) All the soaps and shampoos in guest rooms are organic; (4) The hotel is staffed by local employees.

In addition to having a heart to create a sustainable travel destination, James is also involved in various relief efforts to help Grenada recover from Hurrican Ivan’s 2004 devestation to the island.

We love everything this resort stands for and give it our highest rating.  You can reach the Paradise Bay Beach Resort & Spa through their website >>>
