Caribbean Holidays : Holidays in St Kitts
St Kitts was a British colony for 270 years until achieving independence in 1983. For many years sugar and tobacco growing dominated the landscape of St Kitts and while no longer a major contributor to the island's economy, many local people are still employed in its cultivation and processing.
St Kitts is a superb choice of holiday destination with many of the former great plantation houses skillfully converted into elegant and gracious hotels.
The local people of St Kitts are friendly and welcoming and the pace of life in these stunning surroundings is easy-going. Lush green tropical valleys tumble down from the hillsides to secluded, palm fringed coves and sun drenched beaches.
If you enjoy exploring historic sites and mountain walks through cool tropical rainforest inhabited by chattering monkeys, colourful birds, and a profusion of flora and fauna, then you need look no further.
