St Kitts and Nevis a dual-island nation located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Cloud-shrouded mountains and beaches create striking views. Former sugar plantations that are now inns dot the islands. Mount Liamuiga dominates St. Kitts, the larger of the two islands.
Nevis is the smaller and more serene of the two islands. The island offers many sandy beaches, including palm-fringed Pinney’s Beach and sheltered Oualie Beach. On Nevis, colorfully painted houses dot the landscape. Both islands have genuinely welcoming people, cool tropical breezes, and plenty of things to see and do.
