Nevis / Special Interests / Corporate & Incentives

Nevis is not an obvious choice for a conference. The island is quite difficult to get to and most of the accommodation is quite small and designed for its physical beauty rather than any sort of business functionality. The only hotel with significant conference facilities is the Four Seasons Resort (which hosts many conferences). However, the fact that the hotels are small and stylish means they could make an excellent retreat for companies or groups looking for a small and secluded corporate get-together, or a more intimate style of incentive break.

There is currently no particular company with a complete destination management service. The island is small and the hotels themselves are able to assist with most requests. TDC Tours Ltd can assist with travel arrangements.

Conference Venues

The only hotel on Nevis with facilities to cope with large meetings and conferences is the Four Seasons Resort, which has 8,000 sq ft of meeting space, of which 5,000 is indoors, looking out to a covered area of 3,000 sq ft. Plenty of technology is available, including overhead and video projectors, microphones and amplifiers and stands easels and flipcharts. There are also special spouse and family programmes.

Smaller hotels with facilities include the Mount Nevis Hotel which has its own conference centre offering 2,400 sq ft of meeting space. This comprises 1,400 sq ft of indoor meeting space, seating 80 people classroom-style, and a further 1,000 sq ft outside.

The smaller hotels are happy to have small groups and can provide limited facilities but very personalised service, particularly if you take the whole hotel. This includes Montpelier Plantation Inn and The Hermitage (for groups up to 25) and the Old Manor Hotel. You will find that they will be very helpful about organising any tours or special requirements. Contact your business travel organiser or the hotels direct for further information.
