Nevis / Accommodation

Nevis is not a large island and it has never ‘gone’ for mass tourism. Instead there are lots of small hotels with their own distinctive style. In fact there is only one large hotel on the island, the Four Seasons Resort on Pinney's Beach - when it opened in 1990 the Four Seasons more than doubled the number of hotel rooms on the island.

The unique thing about Nevis is its group of plantation hotels. These are some of the loveliest and most atmospheric places to stay in the whole Caribbean. Interestingly, Nevis’s sister island St Kitts, also has a couple of equally delightful hotels in the same style, but there are only a handful of other in the whole of the rest of the Caribbean.

There are of course other more traditional Caribbean beach hotels, but the other key feature of accommodation on Nevis is the villas. The island has recently made itself a name as a villa destination. Even here, the plantation style of the island has been picked up by architects and designers, and many of the owners have opted for antiques, furniture and design themes akin to an English country house or hinting at the island’s old colonial past. Most of these are independent villas, but some are also contained within estates that have some central facilities. Here the style is likely to be more modern such as villas at the Four Seasons resort.
