Setting and arrival
The resort is within walking distance of the international airport, yet its hillside setting amid tropical greenery keeps it tranquil. Arriving feels like entering a small village: reception guided me to my villa with a tour along the way, past lush gardens, stone paths and koi ponds.
The rooms
The one-bedroom Rock Fig Villa, named after the fruit, was spacious, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a large outdoor lounge and terrace with a hot tub, including a covered adobe-style seating area.
Dining and activities
Dining is beside the beach, and the resort offers personalised spa treatments and yoga. Pristine beaches, nature walks and world-class diving are close at hand.
The verdict
Tailored service, a strong environmental ethos and beautifully private villas make Maca Bana a gem in Grenada.
