St Kitts

Intoxicating natural beauty, sunny skies, warm waters, and sparsely peopled beaches combine in the sister islands of St Kitts and Nevis to make them one of the most seductive spots in the Caribbean. The twin islands are separated by a 2-mile wide channel, with ferry services that help visitors easily enjoy them both in a single trip! Christopher Columbus first spotted St Kitts in 1493, when it was populated with native tribes, but the Europeans didn't colonize until the British arrived in 1623. Their strategic location and valuable sugar trade led to an advanced and luxurious development that was among the best in the Colonial Caribbean. Those high standards continue today and, in fact, St Kitts and Nevis only recently gained independence from Britain, in 1983.
