More Info:
LaSource unfolds over 40 acres on the southernmost tip of Grenada - secure and secluded, well away from any of the occasional hustle and bustle of our normally serene spice isle.
Welcome to a truly amazing holiday experience - one that imaginatively combines the best of a fun-filled and active beach vacation with invigorating body cares in a spectacular setting; all designed to totally rejuvenate body and mind.
Be as active as you like with a full programme of land and water sports from scuba to 9-hole golf - all with personal instruction. Be as laid back as you like on our own secluded Pin Gin Beach while you enjoy the pampering cares of massages and other delectable body treats. Be as social as you like with sumptuous food and drink. Gain invaluable lifetime benefits by acquiring skills in yoga, tai chi and other relaxation arts. And, in between it all, explore lush, unspoiled Grenada and build memories that last forever. The choice is all yours and choice is never scarce. Everything is included so you don't need pockets. Best of all, people of all ages (min. 16 years) can enjoy the LaSource experience, as can singles traveling alone.
LaSOURCE is off the beaten path (and outside the hurricane belt) and the journey is highly rewarding. Well over half of our guests are repeaters or come through personal referral. It's no wonder that LaSource is universally praised by the Travel Press. Visit with us and discover what…..

The globally influenced Cuisine LaSource is designed for healthy eating without sacrificing the art of good cooking. It takes its inspiration from many light and healthy, contemporary styles of cooking and adaptations of traditional dishes from around the world. While Cuisine LaSource has lighter calorie leanings, it is not light food for its own sake. Our aim is to produce great tasting food with an emphasis on quality ingredients, lighter textures and natural flavours and to present it exquisitely.
Start the day with a full buffet breakfast on the Veranda of the Great House Restaurant, overlooking the city of St.George's with a view of the mountains in the distance. Themed lunch buffets in the Terrace Restaurant change daily. Dinner is à la carte five nights a week in the Great House Restaurant with a Caribbean and a Barbecue buffet in the Terrace Restaurant the other two nights.
Special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, low cholesterol and low salt are available on request to our Restaurant Proprietor.
Dress code in the dining room is relaxed - during the day, guests are asked to wear shoes and cover-ups over dry swimsuits. At dinner, casual elegance is the order and guests are requested not to wear jeans, shorts or T-shirts.
BARS

Body cares at The Oasis is an integral ingredient of the amazing holiday experience. Even though not a "conventional" Spa facility, the experience is so enjoyable that readers of Travel & Leisure voted LaSource to be among the best Spas in the world!
Following a consultation with our resident nurse as a safety precaution, each guest creates their own treatment programme (based on one treatment per day), in consultation with our treatment experts. One of the more challenging undertakings at LaSource is generally harmonizing the treatments with the almost overwhelming activity and relaxation options that are available. (Extra treatments are possible, subject to availability).
A listing of the body treats, with brief descriptions, currently offered is:
Reflexology: An effective form of therapeutic foot massage, which helps to balance the body's systems, stimulating any under-active areas and calming any overactive ones. (25 Mins.)
Swedish Massage: Brings about a physical and emotional feeling of relaxation and well being; de-stressing tired, aching joints and muscle tissues leaving the body feeling pampered and rejuvenated. (25 Mins)
Couples Massage: A lesson which brings about physical and emotional closeness between the two partners and teaches how to bring about a feeling of relation and well being in your partner. (50 Mins.)
Aromatherapy Message: A full body massage using blends of aromatic and therapeutic oils in a special technique, to alleviate stress, eliminate toxins and soothe muscles. (50 Mins.)
Facial: Essential for healthy, young-looking, beautiful skin and leaves skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. (50 Mins.)
Salt & Oil Loofah Rub: An exfoliating body treatment using sea salt and massage oil, leaving the skin soft and smooth and the body invigorated. (20 Mins.)
Seaweed Wrap: A self-heating seaweed body mask treatment for deep tissue detoxification. The seaweed is then showered away and leaves the skin refreshed. (40 Mins.)
Hair Treatment: Deepens, conditions, re-mineralises and nourishes the scalp and hair through the use of a seaweed paste. (25 Mins.)
Foot Massage: Relaxes and eases tension in the feet, tendons and calves. (20 Mins.)
Sauna: Rids the body of toxins using the dry heat and steam produced by the sauna to bring about a feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Manicure (not Inclusive). For that groomed appearance. Your nails are shaped, buffed and hands massaged. (50 Mins.)
Pedicure (Not Inclusive). A soothing foot soak followed by a nail shape and by revitalizing creams massaged into the lower legs and feet. (50 Mins.)
N.B. As a safety precaution, a visit to our Resident Nurse is usually scheduled prior to the initial treatment. The Oasis is a non-smoking facility.
At LaSource, Relaxation goes way beyond simply lying on the beach or around the pool, or being active in the myriad array of sports and fitness activities available all day long. We recognize that activity/fitness programmes generally ignore the important Mind/Body connection, so we also feature a programme of holistic activities. These are activities that benefit the body, mind and spirit or, the "whole" person.
The LaSource Relaxation Programme incorporates Yoga, T'ai Chi, Meditation and Stress Management. These activities take place in serene and inspirational settings, framed by verdant blooms and the sounds of birds and flowing water.
Yoga is a dynamic system of physical exercise and a valuable philosophy to apply to everyday life. The ultimate goal is to achieve complete detachment from reality and total self-knowledge. Only by separating "self" from one's environment can one come to terms with individual personality and start putting the mind and emotions in order. The lack of self-knowledge is thought to be the fundamental cause of many emotional and nervous problems.
Yoga helps people to take control of their lives by learning to control the body, breath and mind. The secret is to find balance in life. Yoga practice is very beneficial for prevention of disease and, has therapeutic properties which can improve certain health problems. The breathing techniques improve circulation, reduce tension and increase the oxygen supply throughout the body.
T'ai Chi is a multidimensional approach to generating the optimum possible level of lifelong heath. Often thought of as a martial art or exercise, T'ai Chi is actually a philosophy of balance and harmony that encompasses principles of health for all areas of life.
The T'ai Chi exercises are a series of movements which perfectly embodies the Yin/Yang principles as applied to internal and external body dynamics, as well as study of force - how to neutralize force directed at the self, and how to generate one's own internal force to counter. The movements, although fluid, are very precise and become an art of supreme mental focus and meditative calm.
Meditation aims to cut out the distractions of everyday life, allowing one to look within for peace and tranquillity. Meditation releases tension and negativity from the mind and body, allowing you to enter a truly tranquil state from which the body can begin to regenerate itself from the inside out.
Meditation is about experiencing a deep state of relaxation and acute awareness. It is a time to connect with one's inner source or being, and to let go of the things and roles we get caught up in: work, parenting, concerns, responsibilities, etc.
Stress Management classes are designed to enable individuals to come to terms with the things in life that cause them stress, and to help them devise the best possible ways of dealing with these events. Holistic activities, like those described above, may be prescribed as a part of an individualized programme of stress management to be followed beyond the vacation experience at LaSource.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Cuts and Scrapes
Be sure to pack an effective topical antibiotic cream. The smallest scratch or insect bite can quickly become infected. Try "Bactriban" or "Polysporin". To prevent ringworm, the most effective product is "Nizoral" - sold over the counter as an anti-dandruff shampoo.
