7 Best Towns and Resorts in St Kitts and Nevis

The best towns and resorts in St Kitts and Nevis range from the bustling capital of Basseterre to a collection of sleepy mountain villages. Some of the more remote villages feature nothing more than a few houses lining a beautiful beach, surrounded by lush jungle.

Considering only 40,000 people live on the 2 islands, it’s clear that you’ll be far from any kind of hustle and bustle. St Kitts and Nevis are quiet even when compared to other Caribbean islands. But that’s not to say sleepy – there’s more to these 2 small islands than just powdery beaches and swaying palms. You can enjoy a variety of exciting activities here – golfing, scuba diving, windsurfing and hiking are just a few to start off with.

Basseterre is the biggest town on St Kitts and hums with activity throughout the day. It’s easy to walk around and enjoy the brightly painted buildings, colonial landmarks, and bustling waterside.

Kittian Village is a luxurious, purpose-built resort area on the eastern coast of St Kitts, around 20 minutes’ drive from the capital. With a host of hotels and many restaurants to choose from, this is the most popular place to stay on the island.

Although lacking in local culture, the beach here encapsulates the holiday vibe. The sand is golden and powder-soft, with plenty of activities if you need to burn some energy.

Just north of Kittian Village, you’ll find Royal St Kitts Golf Course, which is widely considered the best course on the island. At sunset, take the short hike to Timothy Hill Overlook to enjoy ocean views on both sides of the island and spot the packs of monkeys in the hills.

For a local experience, spend a few relaxing hours in Nevis Hot Springs on the edge of town. The simple facilities are free to use – just rock up with a towel.

6. Sandy Point Town, St Kitts

Take life slow up on the northwest coast

适合： 历史, 照片, 经济, 冒险

Sand Point Town is the second-biggest town on St Kitts behind the capital. It’s up on the northwest coast and was once the commercial hub of the island. You can still see some remains of warehouses dating back as far as the 1600s. While there has been some development in recent years, it still retains its quiet, relaxed vibe.

The town is surrounded by interesting things to see and do. Start by visiting Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to explore one of the largest forts ever built by the British Army in the Caribbean. Families and couples will enjoy a few hours at St Kitts Eco-Park on the edge of Sandy Point Town. It’s home to a variety of flowers, historical buildings and beautiful panoramic views.

7. Dieppe Bay Town, St Kitts

Enjoy local life in this sleepy backwater

适合： 历史, 经济

Dieppe Bay Town is a historical town of note as it was the first settlement on the island. It was destroyed shortly after and was rebuilt by the French in 1625 – hence the name. These days, this sleepy town on the northern Atlantic coast of St Kitts is a place to get away from it all.

With a population of just a few hundred people, it’s certainly not a place for wild partying. You can choose from a modest selection of guesthouses, served by a couple of restaurants along the coast. But this is its charm. Escape the busy resorts on the southern coast and live like the locals in Dieppe Bay Town.
