ABOUT
Saint Kitts and Nevis are well known for their cloud-shrouded mountains and beaches. With their tranquillity and laid-back feel, these islands are a welcome escape. Like other Caribbean islands, St. Kitts and Nevis have a tropical climate. Normally June to October is hurricane season, so best time to visit the island is from November to April when you are likely to have temperatures between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius and moderate sea breeze.
Saint Kitts & Nevis is known for several musical celebrations including Carnival. If you want to feel the soft sand on your feet, immerse yourself in an unspoiled utopia, and watch the abundance of wildlife thrive, Saint Kitts and Nevis should be top of your list. Nevis is a popular island for those looking for some alone time. Many celebrities have flocked to Nevis including Jay-Z and Beyonce, Princess Diana, Michael Douglas, and Britney Spears. At 36 square miles, the island is very tiny, with a population of just 12,000. St. Kitts is the larger of the two islands and is just as enchanting. Considered one of the best-preserved forts of the era in the Caribbean, the Brimstone Hill Fortress sits on the island of St. Kitts, atop a steep slope. If you’re looking to see the island in a more leisurely way, St. Kitts Scenic Railway is the best way to sit back and soak it all in.
