Laluna is the stylish, design-led hideaway of southern Grenada, a collection of cottages and villas set among gardens beside a private beach at Morne Rouge. It is at the upper end of the price range, and it appeals to couples and groups who want character and quiet instead of a large resort. Cottages are about 1,000 square feet with a king bed, available as garden, beach or ocean cottages and as a cottage suite, and the rooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans, coffee makers, safes and private patios, with plunge pools in some of them. Villas with three, four and five bedrooms suit families and groups of friends. The grounds hold an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a beach bar on the sand, the Laluna Restaurant for lunch and dinner, a spa offering hot stone massage, facials and aromatherapy, and an art gallery. Activities include beach yoga, Pilates, snorkelling and kayaking, and there is a free manager’s reception each day.
Location and getting around
Laluna is at Morne Rouge, on the Grand Anse side of the island, about nine minutes by car from Maurice Bishop International Airport. Morne Rouge Beach is a few minutes on foot, and Grand Anse Beach, with its shops and restaurants, is a short drive. The hotel arranges an airport shuttle for a fee per room. Free self parking is offered, though taxis are easy to find for dinners out.
The rooms
There are about eight room categories, from standard cottage rooms to deluxe and suite cottages and the three-, four- and five-bedroom villas. Cottages are large by hotel standards, with plenty of space to spread out, and villas sleep from six to ten people. Check which units have a plunge pool when you book.
Who it suits
Honeymooners, couples and groups who want a beachfront boutique atmosphere and a good restaurant, and who are comfortable with a quiet evening scene. The villas work well for a family reunion or a group trip. It is a less natural choice for travellers on a tight budget or those who want a large resort with entertainment and a children’s programme.
Good to know
A cooked breakfast costs extra, so check what your rate includes. Pets are not allowed, and check-in begins in the afternoon. Free cancellation applies to selected rates only. Rates are among the higher ones in Grenada, so look at the total price and compare the cottage and villa categories before you decide. Book early for December to April, and ask the hotel which cottages and villas have plunge pools and which face the beach, because views and layouts differ between units.
