The details

Perched high above the shimmering turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, Sankofa Sanctuary is a soulful, multi-home retreat estate in Grenada designed for group stays, creative gatherings and intentional living in nature. This is not simply a place to stay, but a layered environment where each space offers its own rhythm, inviting stillness, introspection and a slower, more mindful way of being. Whether you arrive solo, as a couple or as part of a larger group, Sankofa encourages you to fully exhale and settle into island time.

Set across a lush hillside, the estate is made up of four distinct dwellings – the Main House, the Loft, the Cottage and the Studio Apartment – each thoughtfully positioned to offer varying degrees of privacy, connection and flow. Together, they can accommodate up to 23 guests, making Sankofa ideal for retreats and gatherings, while also allowing for more intimate, individual stays.

The Main House forms the heart of the estate, with flexible sleeping arrangements that can host up to five guests at single occupancy or up to 10 at double occupancy. Inside, you’ll find a mix of one king bed, one queen bed, two double beds and two single beds spread across five bedrooms and four bathrooms, offering a comfortable and versatile setup for groups sharing space. Nearby, the Loft provides a more communal, back-to-basics experience, sleeping up to six guests across six single beds – perfect for group retreats or shared living.

For those seeking something more private, the Cottage offers a cosy, homely feel with space for up to three guests at single occupancy or four at double, featuring one double bed and two singles arranged across two levels. Meanwhile, the Studio Apartment is a peaceful, self-contained hideaway sleeping two at single occupancy or three at double, with one double bed and one single bed, ideal for solo travellers or couples wanting their own quiet corner of the estate.

Across all spaces, the design is intentionally simple and grounding, with breezy verandahs, natural textures and warm, understated interiors that gently guide you to slow down. Wander through peaceful gardens, find a quiet spot to reflect or gather together in shared spaces that encourage connection without distraction.

The estate also offers a shared pool and gazebo, along with wellness-focused touches including yoga, meditation and an infrared sauna available to book. It’s a place where days unfold slowly, guided by intention rather than schedule.

Despite its serene, tucked-away setting, Sankofa is just 10 minutes from St. George’s and 17 minutes from the airport. Spend your days exploring vibrant markets, rainforest trails and golden beaches, before returning to your hillside sanctuary as the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea.
