Two very distinct islands, part of one federation, St Kitts & Nevis are refreshingly uncommercialised and have been careful to develop their hotels and other tourist attractions to reflect and blend in with the local architecture, culture and history. Both islands are dominated by rugged volcanic peaks and rain forests and each has a unique cultural heritage. Both islands, Nevis especially, remain staunchly off the tourist track, which of course is part of their unique appeal.

The small island of Nevis with its unsophisticated beauty, is a reminder of the West Indies as they used to be, with grand Plantation Houses and a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. Only six by eight miles in size, it is dominated by the 3232-foot Mount Nevis with its perpetual cloud cap. This is not a destination for those looking for the relative sophistication of islands like St. Barths, but is ideal for a peaceful escape.

Over 250 heritage sites are documented on St Kitts alone, of which Brimstone Hill is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nevis was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, one of the United States' founding fathers – it's also the place where Admiral Horatio Nelson married Fanny Nisbet.
