Best Luxury Hotels In St Kitts and Nevis
The Mount Liamuiga volcano is an ever-present and dramatic landmark on the horizon of this island in the West Indies. Once home to many sugar plantations, there are many ruins, distilleries and colonial buildings to explore, as well as a natural landscape of white sandy beaches, rainforest-covered mountains (home to the Green Velvet Monkey) and a crater lake. Visit eco-parks, and museums detailing St Kitts’ heritage, take rum and chocolate-making tours, swim with dolphins and ride the unique narrow gauge railway to sightsee with the wind in your hair. While English is the official language, you’ll also hear the island’s own Creole dialect spoken.
