While significant portions of the Caribbean were impacted by hurricanes in late 2017, Grenada managed to escape the storms' wrath.
The cluster of islands that make up this alluring destination includes Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, all of which are located in the southernmost part of the Caribbean, not far from St Vincent.
It's an enviable location in the dead of winter when much of the United States is laboring under frigid temperatures and mountains of snow.
In addition to warm weather, Grenada offers hiking, diving, an underwater sculpture park and silky stretches of white sand. The capital, St. George's is made up of numerous colorful homes and Georgian buildings that you can spend days exploring.
All of which likely sounds pretty perfect right about now.
For those considering an escape from the snow drifts, here are some of Grenada's top luxury hotels to consider in 2018, according to Forbes.
