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. 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 favorites activities. Plantation homes have
been transformed into grand, yet 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.
St. Kitts is a volcanic island, a fact to which
it owes its dramatic central mountains, its rather unpredictable
geologic history, and its lush tropical vegetation. In fact, St.
Kitts' pre-Columbian Carib inhabitants knew their island as Liamuiga,
or "fertile land," a reference to the island's rich and
productive volcanic soil. Today that name graces St. Kitts' central
peak, a 3,792-foot extinct volcano.
