Maca Bana is a seaside boutique resort of private villas at Point Salines, on the southwest tip of the island, and it suits travellers who want a kitchen, privacy and quick airport access. The villas are spread through gardens above the water, and every one has a furnished balcony, air conditioning, a full kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a microwave, premium bedding, a jetted tub and a large television. Choices include one-bedroom villas with a garden or sea view, a panoramic sea-view villa with a king bed, two-bedroom villas for families or couples travelling together, and a three-bedroom villa that sleeps six. There is an outdoor pool, a garden, a beach bar and snorkelling from the beach, with towels provided. The Aquarium Restaurant serves international food for lunch and dinner at the water’s edge, and spa services include facials, manicures and body treatments. A free round-trip airport shuttle runs at set times, and parking is free.
Location and getting around
The resort is about two minutes by car from Maurice Bishop International Airport. Pink Gin Beach is a seven-minute walk, Magazine Beach about nineteen, and Morne Rouge Beach about four minutes by car. Grand Anse Beach is roughly twelve minutes away by road, and the capital is a taxi ride. Excel Plaza and other shops are close, and the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park and Grand Etang National Park can be reached on tours or by hire car.
The rooms
Villas are the main idea here, so think of the accommodation as a private apartment with resort services. Full kitchens let you cook some meals, and balconies give you somewhere to sit over the sea or the garden. Two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas make it a good choice for families and small groups. Ask for a sea-view villa if the outlook matters.
Who it suits
Couples who want privacy, families who like a kitchen, and travellers who arrive late or leave early and value the short drive from the airport. It is quiet, with a small-resort feel, and does not have the activities and entertainment of the larger beach resorts nearby.
Good to know
The arrival window is in the afternoon and early evening, with late check-in only in limited hours, so tell the resort when you will arrive. Pets are not allowed. Babysitting costs extra, and late check-out is expensive, so plan your departure. Free cancellation applies to selected rates only. Check the total price including taxes and fees when you book, as villa rates vary with the season and the number of bedrooms.
