With their authentic and untainted Caribbean vibe, these beautiful destinations are blessed with impressively rugged volcanic peaks, verdant tropical rainforests and exotic native flora and fauna. Each has its own individual identity steeped in colonial traditions and fascinating history. Plantation houses make the perfect context for inimitable boutique hotels and have beautifully preserved individual features, such as the flourishing botanical gardens with bathhouse and thermal springs, or the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. The people here are extremely friendly and hospitable, and service is exceptionally attentive. Benefit from superb championship golf courses, partake in a variety of watersports or scale Mount Nevis; the beaches on Nevis are particularly spectacular. Expect traditional Caribbean cuisine in this sunny, colourful area of the islands: salt fish, spicy plantain, coconut dumplings and the freshest tropical fruits are among the dishes on offer.
