St. Kitts and Nevis are located in the Eastern Caribbean, roughtly 1,200 miles from Miami and about an hour by plane from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today’s population of about 45,000 are mostly descendants of Africans brought to the islands to work sugar and tobacco crops. On September 19, 1983 St. Kitts and Nevis gained independence from Britain, but the two-island nation remains a member of the Commonwealth. The islands retain many British traditions – cricket is a favourite pastine and cars drive on the lefthand side of the road.

St. Kitts aand Nevis are two islands but one paradise. People come to enjoy the islands’ warm beaches and cool forests, quaint towns and authentic architecture and its many tranquil, private pleasures.

A two-mile strait – six minutes by air or 45 minutes by ferry boat, separates the two islands. St. Kitts, the larger, has the more varied terrain – volcanic peaks covered with lush green forets, can plains, and the aris southeast peninsula which is ringed with coves of black, mink-brown and white sand. Nevis is distinguished by its large volcanic central peak surrounded by green hills with tropical gardens, secluded lodgings, and picturesque manor houses, all edged with lovely beaches.
