Holidays to St Kitts & Nevis

What to expect on a holiday to St Kitts & Nevis

The best thing about a holiday to St Kitts & Nevis is that you get two holidays for the price of one!  St Kitts & Nevis is one of the smallest nations in the world, the dual island paradise oozes charm and natural splendour and is situated just west of Antigua and Barbuda. Images of cloud covered mountains, beautiful unspoilt beaches, former sugar plantations and verdant green rainforests describe these beautiful islands perfectly. A holiday to St Kitts & Nevis will whisk you away to the Caribbean of the past, with its sleepy villages and historic houses dotted throughout the rolling sugar cane plantations.

What to see and do on your St Kitts & Nevis holiday

The larger of the islands, St Kitts & Nevis is home to the dormant Mount Liamuiga volcano and the lush green rainforest, which is home to the green vervet monkeys. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the Brimstone Hill Fortress and National park or take a ride on the narrow-gauge railway that is the St Kitts Scenic Railway. The island does have a livelier side for those looking for beach and bar life with the vibrant area of Frigate Bay playing host to various hotels, bars and restaurants.

Just next door to St Kitts and dominated by the beautiful sun hat shaped Nevis Peak, the tiny island of Nevis offers pristine, sugary white beaches and beautiful landscapes. Known as the “Queen of the Caribees”, Nevis is a sleepy retreat and slightly more laid back than its larger sibling. Visit the amazing Nevis Botanical Gardens or partake of afternoon tea at one of the island’s plantation style hotels. Covering just 36 square miles, it’s easy to see most of this intensely green Caribbean island. That’s if you can drag yourself away from one of its spectacularly beautiful beaches that is!
