Nevis / Island Hopping

Despite its small size, it is easy to be so charmed by Nevis that you can find no reason to leave, however there are other islands nearby which can make a good change of scene.

The obvious place to visit from Nevis is St Kitts, which is just ten minutes by air or 45 minutes by ferry. St Kitts is very different in atmosphere but it has plenty to recommend it for a short visit and it also has a couple of delightful small plantation hotels that make for a lovely longer stay.

Nevis also makes a lovely foil to one of the more sophisticated islands in the area, a moment of charm and calm after the social whirl of say Anguilla or St Barths. Anguilla has a string of excellent restaurants on outstanding beaches and an extremely low-key atmosphere, so laid back that it’s nearly asleep. St Barths also has excellent restaurants and superb beaches, but it has a completely different feel. It is like a chic outpost of France in the Caribbean.

Airlines that make inter-island flights from Nevis include LIAT and Winair (out of Dutch St Maarten). If you decide to charter to St Barths you will need a company that has landing rights on the island. Try St Barth Commuter.

For more information on ferries see our Getting There - Ferries section.

Regional charter airlines include:

St Barth Commuter - A small Caribbean airline based in St Barths, which offers scheduled flights from there to St Martin/St Maarten and private aircraft charters to islands all over the Eastern Caribbean.

SVG Air - based in St Vincent SVG Air has around a dozen 5-19-seater planes for shared and private charters around the region, and also offers island hopping and air ambulance services.
