Contact our experts who have inspected each resort.
St.
Kitts is in the Eastern Caribbean, south of St. Martin, west
of Antigua, and north of Nevis. The island is 23 miles long
with an area of 68 square miles, and a population of 35,000.
A mountain range covers the central part of the island.
Activities in St. Kitts include golf, scuba diving and snorkeling
in the clear waters, playing the machines and tables at the
casino, exploring the beauty of the rain forests, or beachcombing
along the miles of sandy beaches.
Special
attractions in St. Kitts are Brimstone Hill, a thirty-eight
acre stronghold established in the 1690's. This Gibraltar
of the West Indies has been restored and citadel contains
a museum, displaying uniforms and weapons alongside the history
of the island.
On
the drive from Brimstone Hill toward Romney Manor Batik factory,
are well preserved, pre-Columbian rock carvings. These deeply
cut petroglyphs found on rocks were carved by the Carib Indians
who inhabited the island before the arrival of the Europeans.
