The coin-shaped Caribbean island of Nevis can be found just three kilometres from neighbouring St Kitts; together they constitute the nation of St Kitts & Nevis. Splendid plantation houses, relaxed beaches, characterful restaurants and, of course, plenty of Caribbean sunshine make these twin islands a favourite Caribbean holiday destination.
A peaceful haven with an abundance of flora and fauna from the lofty green heights of Nevis Peak down to its sandy white shores. The verdant green slopes are home to an abundance of bird species including the Purple-throated Carib and Hummingbird, who are more active and easier to spot at dawn and dusk.
Time on the islands would also be well spent exploring the historical highlights, including archaeological sites from its Indian inhabitants, some of which date back over 2000 years and the beautiful colonial architecture. See the remnants of the once prolific sugar industry at its old plantations, some of which have been painstakingly and sympathetically developed into boutique hideaways, nestled in the foothills.
