Grenada's gateway is Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) - formerly Point Salines International - set on the island's southwestern tip in St. George parish. The location is the story: the airport sits only minutes by road from the Grand Anse area, Grenada's main hotel and beach belt, and roughly 8 kilometres from the capital St. George's, making arrival here one of the Caribbean's easier airport-to-beach transitions. Direct flights connect GND with North American and European hubs alongside regional Caribbean links. Once landed, taxis and pre-arranged transfers cover the short hops to Grand Anse, Lance aux Epines and St. George's; the drier winter months are peak season, when the Spice Island's beaches, waterfalls and nutmeg estates do their best work.

Frequently asked questions

What is the airport in Grenada?
Maurice Bishop International Airport, IATA code GND, is Grenada's international gateway - formerly known as Point Salines International. It occupies the island's southwestern point in St. George parish, handling direct flights from North America and Europe plus regional Caribbean connections, and sits unusually close to the island's main resort area.
How far is Grenada airport from Grand Anse?
Very close - the airport adjoins the Grand Anse area, and the famous beach and its hotel belt are only minutes away by road. Transfers to most south-coast resorts are among the shortest in the Caribbean, which makes late-evening arrivals and early departures far less painful here than on larger islands.
How do I get from GND to St. George's?
The capital lies roughly 8 kilometres north of the airport - a short taxi or pre-arranged transfer ride along the southwest coast. Licensed taxis meet arriving flights, and hotels commonly arrange pickups on request. Renting a car works too; remember Grenada drives on the left, with compact, winding roads.
When is the best time to visit Grenada?
The drier months from roughly December through May are peak season, with the most reliable beach weather and the liveliest hotel scene around Grand Anse. The greener remainder of the year runs quieter and cheaper, with brief tropical showers - fine for waterfalls, spice estates and diving if you accept some rain.
