Holidays in St. Kitts & Nevis 2022/2023

• Untouched, natural surroundings
• Captivating scenery
• Pretty, powder-soft beaches
• Wonderfully welcoming and refreshingly uncrowded

For a luxury holiday to a land that represents the Caribbean of old, discover a St. Kitts & Nevis holiday. It’s a pair of islands that have so far been left uncharted on the tourist map and, as a result, their lush interiors largely remain as nature intended.

The untouched natural surroundings on both islands are a haven for hikers, with trails veining the contoured emerald landscape. Valleys, ravines and rock formations make for captivating scenery on St. Kitts holidays, the green wilds speckled with colourful orchids and patrolled by white-tailed deer and mongooses. As an illustration of its remoteness, the roaming vervet monkeys brought over by the French in the 17th century outnumber locals by two-to-one and on Nevis it’s said there are more donkeys than people.

This lack of development in both St. Kitts and Nevis has meant a languid pace of life stills exists, former plantations and charming colonial towns left to be characterised by their relaxed locals. Soak up the mellow atmosphere with rum in hand and the sound of soca in the background and raise your glass to the Caribbean of yesteryear.

A stay in St. Kitts & Nevis promises two things: tranquility and untouched nature. As a result, the luxury resorts you can stay in here ooze exotic serenity, surrounded by tropical gardens or next to a footprint-free beach. Warm Nevisian charm and hospitality means you can chill out and not need to lift a finger.

St. Kitts & Nevis has a steady tropical climate throughout the year, with temperatures averaging between 24-28°C.

December to May are the driest months in which to visit, with temperatures not scorchingly hot and humidity at its lowest. Holiday in the run-up to Christmas and New Year and you’ll be treated to the kaleidoscopic spectacle that is the country’s annual Carnival (also known as Sugar Mas), where dancers, colourfully costumed locals and parades fill the streets. If you want to maximise your chances of a rain-free holiday, then February and March are your best bets. Rainfall increases marginally in April and May, but hotel prices start to drop, offering better value for money.

Like everywhere else in the region, June to November is the official Caribbean hurricane season. However, the risk of tropical storms is very slim and the worst you’ll likely encounter is short, heavy showers. There’s still plenty of sunshine hours, so events like the St. Kitts Music Festival can be taken advantage of!
