Part of the Leeward Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis are located in the eastern Caribbean. Neighbors include Barbados to the south and Puerto Rico to the north. Both St. Kitts and Nevis are known for their exotic beauty and tropical weather. Once a battleground for European control of the West Indies, the island have plenty of fort remnants and sugar plantation remains.
To preserve their natural beauty, no building on either island may be taller than the surrounding palm trees. Activities include hiking through the islands’ rain forests, golfing on internationally ranked golf courses, fishing, boating, and diving or snorkeling through underwater reefs and unexplored wrecks.Â
