Nevis

Nestled in the heart of the sun-soaked Lesser Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea and located just two miles from its sister island of St. Kitts, Nevis is a charming island renowned for its stunning landscape and serene way of life. Sculpted on volcanic hills and enjoying a myriad therapeutic hot springs, it has only a handful of hotels and guest houses to its name spread over just 35 square miles, allowing it to retain its incredibly unique soul. Mile after mile of untouched beaches, lush rainforests and mango trees ripe with delicious fruit await visitors to the island (for foodies, the annual Nevis Mango and Food Festival is a delight). Nevis also has a fascinating colonial history, and the old capital of Charlestown and crumbling sugar plantations hide secrets of its chequered past and offer a truly authentic escape to one of the gems of the Caribbean. Nevis is also becoming known as the Island of Sport, playing host to the annual Nevis to St. Kitts Cross Channel Swim, the Nevis Running Festival, the Nevis Triathlon, the Quallie Beach Fishing tournament, and even horse-racing events.
