About St. Kitts
St Kitts and Nevis, also known as the Federation of St Christopher and Nevis. St Kitts is the larger island of the two found in the Leeward islands of the Lesser Antilles chain of the West Indies.
​
​St Kitts is breathtakingly beautiful with luscious, green rolling hills with the volcano peak of Mount Liamuiga rising majestically in the background surrounded by an endlessly blue ocean meeting a mix of white-black sand of the beaches that pepper the edges of the island. Caribbean vacations don’t get any better than this.
Timothy hill is a truly spectacular viewing point of the island… from here you can see the island from a unique perspective and see Nevis in the background. It’s a must take photo opportunity while in St Kitts. This is one of the few places where one can see both the Atlantic and the Caribbean sea at the same time.
How To Get Here
St Kitts is easily reached by air from United States, Canada, United Kingdom and continental Europe and other Caribbean islands. St Kitts is also a major cruise destination with multiple cruise lines visiting For more information on how to get here click here.
