Two islands, one easygoing rhythm.
St. Kitts is green, mountainous and wonderfully uncrowded, with a dormant volcano at its center and the Atlantic and Caribbean meeting at its narrow southern tip. Its little sister, Nevis, sits just across the strait.
Ride the old sugar-cane railway around the island, explore the 18th-century Brimstone Hill Fortress, catamaran over to Nevis to snorkel and hop between beach bars along South Friar’s Bay.
