"To understand St Kitts importance, do stop at Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. You’ll be impressed by the sheer size of the British military fortress here. The vistas, looking out over other surrounding Caribbean islands, are phenomenal."

“A great way to see The Botanical Gardens of Nevis is to make a pit stop for lunch at the Oasis in The Gardens Restaurant. The plantation-style house at the centre of the tropical garden offers panoramic views of Nevis Peak and Charlestown."
Events & Festivals

St Kitts & Nevis National Carnival
This two-month carnival is the biggest event of the year. It’s also known as Sugar Mas, and runs throughout the weeks leading up to and during Christmas and New Year. The islands come alive with colourful parades, dazzling costumes, live Caribbean music and infectious dancing. Don’t miss the finale - the traditional Grand Parade - on 1st January.
Nevis Culturama Festival

Local Cuisine
The dishes of St Kitts and Nevis are made up of fresh-off-the-boat seafood and island-grown produce. St Kitts’s highest peak - Mount Liamuiga - literally translates to mean ‘fertile lands’. Lobster abounds in the waters surrounding St Kitts and Nevis meaning it’s pretty much on every menu. Local dishes are mainly Creole and West Indian in flavour and the main meat used is goat drawing from the islanders’ African heritage. Here are a few of our favourite local dishes to try during your holiday in St Kitts and Nevis.
Goat Water Stew
A delicious combination of goat, breadfruit, green papaya, and dumplings in a tomato stew.
Mango Ginger Chicken
Chicken marinated in a sweet sauce of mango, ginger, coconut milk and pepper.
Rikkita beef
