About Nevis

The Queen of the Caribbean

Green and serene, lush Nevis is truly one of the remaining unspoiled getaways. Winding roads weave through upland rain forest, lowland mangrove sanctuaries, pristine beaches and rich sugar history. Protected by years of isolation, the charm and tranquility of Nevis takes you back to an age when things were simple, life more peaceful.

Known as the “Queen of the Caribbean” the island of Nevis is dominated by 3,200 foot Nevis Peak, dormant volcano. Lush vegetation, sparkling waterfalls, sandy, deserted beaches and clear, azure waters welcome you to your tranquil, tropical paradise.

Mass tourism has no place in Nevis

The capital, Charlestown, remains in its original form and has no competition as the most charming small town in the Caribbean. Walking around you will see daily life, markets, open grills, small shops on the street and smiling people. The charm and tranquility of our little island takes you back to an age when things were simple, life more peaceful.

The island has wonderful beaches, and a variety of superb restaurants welcome their guests with tastes of the Caribbean, India, China, Mexico, US and Europe.
