Welcome to the exotically beautiful island of St. Kitts.
Like no other island in the Caribbean, St. Kitts seems to embody a kind of
lush tropical paradise usually associated with the South Pacific. The
atmosphere here is palpably luxuriant. It is an intoxicating blend of
sunlight, sea, air and fantastically abundant vegetation
Intoxicating natural beauty, sunny skies, warm
waters, and white sandy beaches combine to make St. Kitts one of the most
seductive spots in the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus first spotted St.
Kitts in 1493, when it was populated with native tribes, but the Europeans
did not colonize until the British arrived in 1623. Its strategic location
and valuable sugar trade led to an advanced and luxurious development that
was among the best in the Colonial Caribbean |
