St Kitts, unspoilt and idyllic, with a central lush rainforest dominated by Mount Liamuiga, a long extinct volcano, is home to over 100 species of birds, deer, and green vervet monkeys. Most of the island's excellent beaches are located on the peninsular south of Basseterre, the capital, with North Frigate Bay being the favourite spot for surfers with the waves surging in from the Atlantic, whilst the other side of the peninsular offers sheltered waters of the Caribbean ideal and safe for all water sports, and stunning views of St Kitts sister island, Nevis.

St Kitts has the finest collection of plantation houses in the Caribbean, a number of which have been restored and now operate as historic hotels, such as Rawlins Plantation House or Ottley's Plantation Inn, a charming Caribbean hideaway set in 35 acres, with accommodations in either the Great House or cottages.
