St Kitts & Nevis Holiday Guide
St Kitts and Nevis is rapidly becoming one of the Caribbean's most sought-after holiday destinations — a dual-island paradise of fabulous beaches, lush rainforests, dramatic volcanic peaks, fascinating colonial history and an ever-growing collection of world-class luxury resorts.
Cockleshell Bay is the most celebrated beach on St Kitts — a stunning mile-long crescent of soft white sand and crystal-blue water on the southeast of the island, with picture-perfect views of Nevis. Frigate Bay is the most developed resort area, home to the famous "Strip" of beach bars and the St Kitts Marriott Resort.
Brimstone Hill Fortress is one of the most impressive colonial fortifications in the Caribbean — an 18th-century military base and UNESCO World Heritage Site with commanding views over the island.
Christophe Harbour is one of the most exclusive developments in the Caribbean — a world-class superyacht marina and resort complex, home to the magnificent Park Hyatt St Kitts.
Nevis is St Kitts's beautiful sister island — a small, circular island dominated by the dramatic Nevis Peak volcano, with a wonderfully unspoiled, tranquil atmosphere and some of the most exclusive boutique resorts in the Caribbean.
Basseterre is one of the oldest capital cities in the Caribbean — a charming, historic town with Georgian architecture and a fascinating colonial history.
Direct flights to St Kitts are available from London Gatwick with British Airways, with a flight time of approximately 9–10 hours.

The beaches, rainforests, colonial history and luxury resorts that make St Kitts and Nevis one of the Caribbean's most exciting and distinctive holiday destinations.
Cockleshell Bay
Cockleshell Bay is the most celebrated beach on St Kitts — a stunning mile-long crescent of soft white sand and crystal-blue water on the southeast of the island, with picture-perfect views of the sister island of Nevis. The beach has sun loungers, water sports hire and a choice of dining options. It is the main beach for cruise ship visitors, so arrive early on weekdays for the best experience.
Frigate Bay
Frigate Bay is the most developed resort area on St Kitts — a lively, popular destination with two distinct beaches: the calm Caribbean-facing South Frigate Bay, home to the famous "Strip" of beach bars, and the more dramatic Atlantic-facing North Frigate Bay. The area is home to the St Kitts Marriott Resort, the Royal Beach Casino and a great selection of restaurants and bars.
Brimstone Hill Fortress
Brimstone Hill Fortress is one of the most impressive colonial fortifications in the Caribbean — an 18th-century military base and UNESCO World Heritage Site perched on a dramatic volcanic hill with commanding views over the island and the sea. The fortress was built by enslaved Africans under British direction and provides a fascinating and humbling insight into the colonial history of the Caribbean.
Christophe Harbour
Christophe Harbour is one of the most exclusive and prestigious developments in the Caribbean — a world-class superyacht marina, luxury residential community and resort complex on the southeast peninsula of St Kitts. The Park Hyatt St Kitts is the centrepiece of the development — a magnificent 5-star resort with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea and the island of Nevis.
Nevis — The Sister Island
Nevis is St Kitts's beautiful sister island — a small, circular island dominated by the dramatic Nevis Peak volcano, with a wonderfully unspoiled, tranquil atmosphere. Nevis is home to some of the most exclusive boutique resorts in the Caribbean, including the legendary Montpelier Nevis and the Four Seasons Resort Nevis. The island has beautiful beaches, excellent hiking and a fascinating colonial history.
Basseterre — The Capital
Basseterre is one of the oldest capital cities in the Caribbean — a charming, historic town with a fascinating mix of Georgian architecture, colonial-era buildings and colourful local life. The town's main square, known as The Circus, is modelled on London's Piccadilly Circus. The Independence Square and the Berkeley Memorial Clock are among the most photographed landmarks.
Southeast Peninsula
The Southeast Peninsula is the most scenic and unspoiled part of St Kitts — a dramatic strip of land connected to the main island by a causeway, with pristine beaches, salt ponds and spectacular views. Major Bay, on the southeast tip, is one of the most secluded and beautiful beaches on the island. The peninsula is also home to Christophe Harbour and the island's most exclusive resorts.
Food, Culture & Festivals
St Kitts and Nevis has a wonderfully vibrant food and culture scene. The St Kitts and Nevis Restaurant Week, held in July, showcases the island's outstanding cuisine with a range of special menus and offers. The St Kitts Music Festival in June is one of the most popular events in the Caribbean. The annual Nevis to St Kitts Cross Channel Swim raises awareness of turtle conservation.
