nevis

old-fashioned in the best way

Nevis is a single volcanic peak wrapped in rainforest, with old sugar plantations turned into small hotels and a coastline of quiet beaches. It is the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and feels far less developed than most of its neighbours.

Visitors come for peace, good food and long lunches at beach bars. St Kitts is a short boat ride away, so the two islands pair easily.
