Discover a rolling emerald-forested mountain range, century-old churches, craft rum distilleries, and a range of watersports on this uncrowded island. Visit for their iconic channel water swim, volcano hikes, lobster dishes, and luxury hotels. Even more secluded and serene is its sister island Nevis, 45 minutes away by ferry.
Island flavours
St. Kitts cuisine fuses together a number of influences, including Caribbean, Creole, West Indian and Asian flavours. Think spicy lobster cakes, lemongrass- and coconut-laced fish chowder, and Indian chicken curry bowls. Or, become a Kittitian RumMaster and immerse yourself in the local tradition-over a spiced rum or two.
Beyond the beach
Hike up Mount Liamuiga, a dormant volcano home to cloud forests and waterfalls. Zip-line through St. Kitts' vervet-monkey habitat. Scuba dive among sunken shipwrecks, or paddle board past stingrays and sea turtles. Finally, hop on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, an 18-mile train route along a narrow gauge line built to transport cane.
Reconnect with nature
Book a massage in a luxury spa resort (Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort at Kittitian Hill pictured), meditate, or spot monkeys scampering in the ruby-petaled native trees. Take a catamaran cruise around the island and explore pristine coastlines. Or, let lilting calypso, zouk, soca, and reggae rhythms music soothe your soul.
Island romance
Toast each other over a beachside meal, take a romantic sunset cruise, or snorkel hand-in-hand. Kick it like a Kittitian at De Strip and 'lime' together. St. Kitts has many luxury resorts making it the most idyllic destination for your wedding, honeymoon, or an unforgettable romantic getaway.
