Renowned for its carefully preserved ecosystems, St. Kitts is awash with sugarcane fields, a central mountain range that looms above a rainforest bursting with exotic wildlife, dense vegetation, and cascading waterfalls. Black- and white-sand beaches, clear blue water, and superb diving and boat tours complement the island’s inland treasures. Friar’s Bay on St. Kitts’ southern side is the island’s most enticing beach, contrasting with the bay’s rugged, untamed northern end. Lava formations and seaside lagoons add to the unspoiled natural beauty that surrounds you.

Enjoy the great outdoors on St. Kitts while horseback riding, golfing, hiking, or exploring its many historical sites, such as a scenic tour along the railroad that once transported sugar cane to processing mills when sugar was the region’s primary industry. Enchanting small towns throughout the island radiate with stately Colonial architecture and quaint shops offering duty-free merchandise.

Fun fact: St. Kitts was the first Caribbean island to be settled by both British and French colonists back in the early seventeenth century. Today, it’s part of a two-island federated state with Nevis, colonized by British settlers in 1628. Together, they comprise the smallest nation in the world to have hosted a World Cup event, the Cricket World Cup of 2007.
