St. Kitts and Nevis, like no other islands in the Caribbean, seem to embody a kind of lush tropical paradise usually associated with the South Pacific. The atmosphere here is an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea air and fantastically abundant vegetation. At the center of St. Kitts stands the spectacular, cloud-fringed peak of Mount Liamuiga (pronounced Lee-a-mweega), a dormant volcano covered by dense tropical forest. St. Kitts and Nevis will far exceed your expectations!
St Kitt’s shape resembles a large chicken drumstick, with an oval road running around the perimeter of its main body and another extending down the spine of its southern arm. It takes about 1 ½ hours to make a nonstop loop around the northern road and about 30 minutes to drive from Basseterre, the capital, to the end of the southeast peninsula.
Nearby Attractions: Calypso Bay Resorts is conveniently located within minutes from an 18 hole championship golf course, casino & spa operated by Marriott. Other facilities within close proximity include restaurants and banking facilities. Exquisite beaches are within walking distance. St Kitts has newly built and renovated Hospital facilities. The infrastructure includes international state of the art cable television, telephone and high speed internet access.
The main tourist area on St Kitts is southeast of Basseterre, the capital. There are hotels, villas, a golf course and a popular beach in Frigate Bay, while Friar’s Bay has a marvelous beach of soft golden sand. At the southern end of the peninsula there is a beach bar and superb views of the channel and of Nevis.
Basseterre, the capital of St Kitts is easily explored. There are many tall palm trees and interesting shops, excellent art galleries, and some beautifully maintained houses. The Circus, named after Piccadilly Circus has duty-free shops along the streets and courtyards. On the site of an ancient slave market at Independence Square there is a public park with lovely gardens and a fountain, and 18th century Georgian buildings, including St George’s Anglican Church. The waterfront has recently been developed on reclaimed land with stores, a marina and a new cruise ship terminal.
St Kitts is famous for its locally produced clothing made of beautiful batik and tie-dyed cotton. Other local crafts include hand-embroidered items, straw goods and ceramics. Shopping areas in Basseterre are found along Bay Road, Liverpool Row and Fort Street.
The Circus is where Island Hopper sells Caribelle Batik’s famous dresses, caftans, wraps and wall murals. The Caribelle Batik studio, where these fashions are designed and made, is located at Romney Manor, a 17th century great house and plantation, northwest of Basseterre.
At the Pelican Mall on the downtown waterfront you can find a philatelic bureau selling colourful collectors issues of postage stamps. Local art can be bought in the Spencer Cameron Gallery on North Independence Square, and Kate Spencer’s studio and gallery is at the northwest end of the island near Rawlins Plantation.
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park – This 38 acre 18th century fortress, one of the largest forts in the Caribbean, was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth in 1985. Its nickname was “Gibraltar of the West Indies”. It played a major part in the battles between the English and the French, being occupied by each of them in turn in the 1700s, but finally reverted to the English under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles in 1783. It was abandoned in the mid 1800s, and lay idle until the 1960s, when a major restoration was undertaken, and it is now the showplace of St Kitts.
The Citadel is lined with 24 cannons, and has wonderful views of Montserrat, Nevis, St Barts and St Maarten. Inside the Citadel’s barrack rooms is a complete museum of colonial history and armaments. The actual hill that Brimstone sits on is an 800 ft. high dormant volcanic cone! In the year 2000, Brimstone Hill was officially named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The official document states: “inscription on this List confirms the exceptional value of a cultural or natural site which deserves protection for the benefit of all humanity.”
