Saint Kitts and Nevis has the palm-fringed, silver-sand beaches and convivial atmosphere you’d expect from any Caribbean island. But, its lofty palms also shade crumbling British forts, granite churches and 18th-century sugar plantations. Our Caribbean specialists have combed the islands to find a selection of special places to stay, from plantation inns to organic farms.
The larger island of Saint Kitts is a crumple of jungle-clad volcanic peaks edged by long strips of silvery volcanic sand with the occasional rum-focused beach bar. Its quieter companion, Nevis, once boasted Admiral Lord Nelson and US founding father Alexander Hamilton as residents — it still shelters plantation homes and the remains of a British fort. You could decide to spend your days simply relaxing on the beach. Or, we can recommend more active ideas for a holiday on Saint Kitts and Nevis, which involve walking the jungle trails or island-hopping farther across the Caribbean.
