Intoxicating
natural beauty, sunny skies, warm waters, and white
sandy beaches combine to make St. Kitts one of the
most seductive spots in the Caribbean. Christopher
Columbus first spotted St. Kitts in 1493, when it
was populated with native tribes, but the Europeans
did not colonize until the British arrived in 1623.
Its strategic location and valuable sugar trade
led to an advanced and luxurious development that
was among the best in the Colonial Caribbean.
While development has been of
the highest quality, it has fortunately remained
in low quantity, so St. Kitts remains un-crowded
and unspoiled, famous around the world for excellent
preservation of the ecosystems. Nature lovers
will want to take advantage of the various tours
through lava formations, tropical forest areas,
and seaside lagoons. Boating tours and scuba diving
expeditions are also favorite activities. Plantation
homes have been transformed into grand, intimate
inns. Quaint shopping areas and beautiful Colonial
architecture draw visitors to the tiny towns.
If a quiet vacation in a luxurious and alluring
corner of paradise is what you seek, you'll find
it on St. Kitts.
