Where to stay in Nevis

Accommodations on Nevis can provide service and intimacy not available on many of the betterdeveloped islands. The uniqueness of places to stay is unparalleled in the Caribbean. There are five gracious plantation inns, a five-star resort, several smaller hotels and
many guesthouses, plus a wide variety of private villas to rent.

The largest hotel The Four Seasons Resort Nevis with 196 rooms is known for its outstanding service, award-winning Robert Trent Jones golf course and luxurious spa. The Four Seasons and Nevis have become almost synonymous. Located along the long stretch of Pinney’s Beach overlooking fantastic sunsets and the island of St. Kitts, Four Seasons has expanded to accommodate its many visitors. A new beachfront swimming pool is on tap as well as a beachfront restaurant at the north end of the property.

The popular kid’s program with colourful kids’ club, and kiddie buffet line, make it the perfect place to stay with youngsters. Even older kids enjoy the recreation room with pool, TV, and computer games.

Partially up in the hills overlooking St. Kitts near the north side of the island is the Mount Nevis Hotel and Beach Club, with 28 newly redecorated guest rooms and suites with pool, restaurant and fitness centre. The hotel offers conference service facilities as well.

For beachfront accommodations, the Oualie Beach Hotel, set along the tranquil waters of
Oualie Bay, is very popular with families with small children. The hotel is the hub of many of the island’s recreational activities, such as mountain biking, and water sports—diving, windsurfing, and kayaking.

Right next door, built on the hillside, are the Hurricane Cove Bungalows with 12 rustic-style individual bungalows with fabulous views of the St. Kitts and the coast of Nevis. Some of the units almost hang over the cliffside; some have private pools, other shared.

Along the water, conveniently located a short walking distance from downtown Charlestown is the Pinney’s Beach Hotel with 32 rooms at the far south end of Pinney’s Beach. In Charlestown, there are two other small guest houses: Sea Spawn, on the main
road, and Philsha’s Guest House that offers catering accommodations in 10 private units.

Besides the main hotels, there are about a dozen bed and breakfasts, guesthouses, and
cottage-style accommodations throughout the island, some of which appeal to the budget
traveller. More and more villas are being built on the island providing all types of rental homes—from simple catering cottages to the some of the most luxurious holiday homes with services available anywhere in the Caribbean.
