St. Kitts And Nevis holidays
Far off-the-beaten-track of tourism, this twin island country is not only an enchanting step back in time, it’s a step taken at strolling pace. The two mile wide Narrows divide the islands. Their history and their landscapes unite them – old plantation houses are now fine hotels, mementoes of the marriage of Lord Nelson to Fanny Nisbet, the mountain peaks of Mt. Nevis and Mt. Liamuiga, and a tangle of tropical rainforests splashed with wild orchids, sugar cane hillsides and palm shaded ribbons of sandy shoreline.
The seductive old-world nature of the islands is enhanced by old-fashioned standards of courtesy and service and a well deserved reputation for quality cuisine. Exclusive, almost reclusive, these are the islands that stopped the world and got off.
- The small island of Nevis oozes grace and elegance and has an old Caribbean charm. The pace of life here is slow; swaying palm trees and the lapping of the ocean is the only sound you can hear. Just seven miles long and five miles wide, this historical and traditional Caribbean island offers botanical gardens, rainforests and glimpses of green velvet monkeys in their natural habitat. Nevis offers pure relaxation in natural surroundings.
- St. Kitts has a similar feel to its neighbouring island; an old style charm, history and slow pace of life, with a varied range of beaches and bays, swaying sugar cane fields and coconut palms. You will find pristine examples of colonial architecture, ramshackle sugar mills and magnificent plantation houses. A lush tropical rainforest cloaks the volcano and is filled with exotic orchids, chattering monkeys, and haunted colonial ruins.
