There’s something about this small, sombrero-shaped island that grabs you. The charm and tranquility takes you back to a time when things were simpler, when life was more peaceful, when stress was just a word, not a way of life. Its 10,000 residents are friendly and helpful, ready to make new friends and welcome back regular visitors. The genuine charm and hospitality radiate into the unspoken, “Welcome,” “Be my guest,” and “Do come again.” Nevis is special, a place that will seduce you, and tug at your heart strings after you leave.

You should also experience Nevis’s geographical wonders by taking a guided tour up to the peak of Nevis. There are many different guided tours, find one that is right for you from your concierge. We found the most romantic were the Sunrise & Sunset tours!
Spend a day or parts of your day visiting some of Nevis’s Land marks, they will take you back to the Caribbean colonial era. Landmarks definitely worth visiting include

• Charlestown
• Museum of Nevis History
• The Hamilton Estate
• Jew’s Walk & Cemetery

CUISINE

The national cuisine is the same to its sister island St. Kitt’s. But just because this island is small, it is by no means limited. There are of course your notable hotel restaurants but also 2 wonderful vegetarian restaurants, Chinese, Continental, Eclectic and Pizza to choose from.
