e had been in Grenada for a couple of days and already exhausted from the mass of masses they called J’ouvert – in which you arise before the sun each morning to join an airtight army of revellers covered in oil, paint, mud water, powered or anything that created an unsightly paste by the rise of the sun. Serenity was what we sought by the end of our trip so we were driven far up county to a secret hideaway our tour guide concealed. Meandering roads lead uphill to narrow roadsides that plunged into deep ravines. Local men hailed us out as we sped past, our hair blowing in the wind. Finally reaching our destination, we drove into an evenly paved road shaded by tall forest trees. We left our vehicle to discover a hidden paradise that overlooked the Grenadines and tri-Island state of Grenada. Then to our right: a neat cluster of homely villas that looked out to the ocean. This hideaway retreat was the vision of newlyweds Phillip and Annie Clift who fell in love with Grenada and decided to embark on building a dream. This is their journey from a patch of land to a picturesque haven.
