St Kitts Tourism Authority
St. Kitts, known as the Caribbean’s “sugar isle”, is the larger of two islands that make up the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Eighteen miles of green mountain ranges stretch from Mount Liamuiga in the north to the southern peninsula. St. Kitts’ location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea gives its coast distinctively varied hues, with the beaches ranging from golden to salt-and-pepper tones to alluring black volcanic sands.
St. Kitts is relatively new to tourism, having switched its focus after the closure of the sugar industry in 2005. The island has steered away from the “all-inclusive” product, instead encouraging visitors to “Venture Deeper” into the magic of St. Kitts, discovering history, rainforest adventures and culinary delights. A packed calendar of events also offers visitors the chance to celebrate local culture.
Accommodation ranges from luxury resorts, including Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort and Sunset Reef, to mid-market properties St. Kitts Marriott Resort, The Royal St. Kitts Hotel, KOI Resort St. Kitts, and Sugar Bay Club, as well as the island’s lead-in and prime-positioned Timothy Beach Resort.
St. Kitts can be reached from the UK via twice weekly, year-round flights from London Gatwick with BA.
