Holidays In St. Kitts and Nevis
How do you know your annual leave is about to get extra-fancy? When your destination has not just one but two names.
And spending your holidays in St. Kitts and Nevis will definitely make you feel like you’ve arrived in the lap of luxury. A stroll through the capital city, Basseterre, will take you through many interesting sites, like Independence Square and The Circus. Browse local art, jewellery and other wares at the Amina Craft Market and immerse yourself in the celebratory vibe during Carnival or Culturama. Ready? So are we!
Things to Do in St. Kitts and Nevis
There are a few things you always hope a holiday in St. Kitts and Nevis will deliver: warm sun, sapphire ocean stretching out as far as you can see and powdery sand stuck in your bathers (well, maybe not that last one). For activities that are just as relaxing (but slightly less chafing) hike up Mount Liamuiga, a dormant volcano. As the highest point on the islands, it’s popular for stunning views of the sea, rolling green hills and rainforests filled with tropical birds and monkeys. Learn about the history of the area by touring the disused plantations, Brimstone Hill Fortress and Fort Charles.
Want to see more? Ride the tracks on the Scenic Railway for a leisurely tour of the countryside. Next up, the National Museum features many fascinating exhibits exploring the culture, identity and independence of the islands. And of course, if you want to spend time getting rid of your tan lines, head to the gorgeous beaches. You’ll find plenty of diving sites, from coral reefs and caves to long-sunken shipwrecks. Explore Sandy Point, a national marine park, and Frigate Bay, where you’ll often find sea turtles. Feed your thirst for adventure on your St. Kitts and Nevis holiday by checking out the wrecks of the River Taw or the Corinthian.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
Of course, St. Kitts and Nevis holidays aren’t complete without bringing back souvenirs for your friends, right? If you’re after brand names and recognisable fashions, head for Port Zante, a mall near the cruise ship terminals. You’ll find pretty much anything you could want here, but we’re pretty sure you’ll want to bring back some authentic island handicrafts too. Next up, beat feet for Liverpool Row to pick up gifts like coconut shells, fabrics, leather and a lot more. Not sure where you’re going to stash all this stuff? One of our St. Kitts and Nevis car hire deals is your best bet for hauling around all your swag.
When you’ve worked up an appetite sweeping the islands for souvenirs, refuel with local cuisine that offers loads of fresh seafood and tropical produce. Goat meat features prominently in many local recipes, but you’ll also find Chinese and Creole influences on a number of meals. Wash it all done with a rum drink—hey, it wouldn’t be the Caribbean otherwise, right?—once the sun goes down. The nightlife here isn’t wild, but there’s a hopping pub life in downtown Basseterre over on St. Kitts. Kick back with a pint and get to know the locals and your fellow travellers—or, if you simply must dance the night away, make a beeline for the clubs and thumping music at the Frigate Bay bars.
