Holidays to True Blue trundle along in the slow lane. This seaside village hugs a yacht-lined natural harbour, with handsome hotels hidden away under the surrounding palms.

Tropical spot

True Blue looks like a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean at first glance. Subtract the cutlass-wielding, plank-walking characters, and the scenery lives up to the big-screen standard. The little town buddies up with a namesake bay on Grenada’s southern coast, so its modest selection of hotels and restaurants all register top-drawer sea views. A chocolate café-cum-museum is one of the big names on campus, and there are a few pockets of sand for sunbathing stints. If you’re serious about your tanning time, a 10-minute drive gets you to Grande Anse Beach – it’s the island’s beach chart topper.
