The Four Seasons Resort Nevis - Island Information

St. Kitts & Nevis are located in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean, 19 degrees north of the equator, and are separated by a two-mile stretch of water. The islands appear relatively unspoiled, as the buildings are no higher than the tallest palm tree. St. Kitts has volcanic origins, resulting in a 68-mile stretch of imposing mountains and lush rainforests. Nevis' center is dominated by one grand mountain encircled by beautiful, sandy beaches. St. Kitts has a population of 35,340 people and an area of 68 square miles. Nevis, with 9,000 residents, covers an area of 36 square miles. Nevis' capital, Charlestown, was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and his former house is now a museum. The 17th-century Jewish cemetery is another claim to fame. Yet another museum on the island contains the world's largest collection of Admiral Horatio Nelson memorabilia. The first-ever Caribbean resort can be found on Nevis. Called the Bath Hotel and Bath Springs, it was built in 1778 by John Higgins for European nobles. The baths remain consistent at 108 degrees and are open for your bathing pleasures. Couples can't resist this! Take a long, relaxing soak in the hot bath springs of the first-ever Caribbean resort on Nevis. The beaches of Nevis vary in their color with black, tan, white and pink sands. Pinney's, Oualie, Newcastle and Windward Beach are the most popular. Pinney's Beach lasts four miles and offers palms for shade, while surfers prefer Windward Beach. The main nightclub on Nevis is Prinderella's at Tamarind Bay. If you think you've seen it all, this place will surprise you. Also, Tequila Sheila's at the end of Pinney's Beach offers drinks and a good time. Consider a picnic under a palm tree on Pinney's Beach, found on Nevis. It stretches for four miles and offers coconut palms for shade.
