HIDDEN CARIBBEAN
Grenada, an often overlooked Caribbean gem, is remembered most in America for the U.S. invasion in 1983 that overthrew the government of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. But it’s worth reconsidering. Also known as Spice Island, the British protectorate is a lively seat of culture, music, and regional cuisine, and now has a new luxury hotel, as of March. The Silversands (silversandsgrenada.com) features 43 rooms and suites, plus nine private villas and the distinction of sporting the longest pool in the Caribbean. Luxury minded travelers will also appreciate that the Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel (calabashhotel.com), now part of the Relais & Châteaux group, has undergone a complete renovation. JetBlue has added daily service from New York City to the island as of last year, and Grenada is now a port of call for no fewer than 33 cruise ships. For the ultimate luxury experience, there is the private island of Calivigny (calivigny island.com), just a five minute boat ride from Grenada’s southern tip, and considered one of the most exclusive travel experiences on the planet

HEIGHTS OF ECSTASY
Iguazú Falls, shared by both Argentina and Brazil, is the largest waterfall system in the world (275 individual drops) and is both taller and wider than Niagara by a considerable measure. Named for the native Guaraní people’s word for “great water,” it has, like its American cousin, long been associated with new love, and now there’s an even more luxurious and romantic way to stay. The 12 room Selvaje lodge, just opened this spring, features a variety of expeditions to the falls, plus spa treatments and romantic dinners. For the ultimate, Mai10 tour company agent Maita Barrenechea will arrange a private dinner alongside Iguazú…under the light of a full moon if you get lucky. mai10.com.ar/en
