About Nevis

Tucked away in the Caribbean, Nevis is a serene 36-square-mile island where lush mountains meet powdery beaches and calm turquoise waters. Perfect for couples chasing romance or families seeking adventure, it offers a brilliant mix of stays – from chic beachfront resorts with instant sand-between-your-toes vibes to tucked-away hillside retreats with breathtaking Nevis Peak views. For luxury and sea views, Pinney’s Beach is a top pick, while the island’s inland slopes hide charming boutique escapes for a more secluded feel.

Some of our Nevis collections:

Nevis, the oldest British colony in the Caribbean, blends fascinating history with laid-back island charm. A stroll through Charlestown reveals beautifully preserved heritage buildings and the Museum of Nevis History, where Alexander Hamilton was born. Scattered across the island are evocative remnants of the past, from the crumbling ruins of Cottle Church to Montpelier House, where Horatio Nelson wed Fanny Nisbet. The lush Botanical Gardens are a tranquil escape, while the New River Estate and Horatio Nelson Museum offer further glimpses into Nevis’ storied past.

For those craving adventure, hiking Nevis Peak rewards you with sweeping island views, while walking and cycling trails lead you through overgrown ruins and flower-filled paths where hummingbirds dart among vibrant bougainvillea. The island’s beaches are as idyllic as they come—soft sands, calm seas, and perfect conditions for snorkelling, sailing, or simply soaking up the sun. With its unspoilt beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and stays ranging from restored plantation houses to luxury resorts, Nevis feels like a timeless Caribbean escape.
