Fly the skies above the lovely Leeward Islands to St. Kitts, the ideal place for a relaxing week or weekend retreat. Set out for a vacation on this tropical island - a thriving tourism destination peeping out from the deep-blue Caribbean Sea. Skim our list of recommended lodging; made especially for the vacationer seeking tranquil moments on this paradisiacal island.
St. Kitts in the Caribbean has for the past 350 years remained largely undeveloped. While St. Kitts' neighbor islands like St. Martin and Antigua focused on vacation tourism, this small volcanic island concentrated on growing sugar cane, relying on an industry that dates back to the 1600s. All that is about to change. The recent demise of the sugar industry in St. Kitts has prompted citizens to follow the other Caribbean islands in putting most of their efforts into developing a vacations tourist trade. Plans are in the works for mega-hotels, condo and villa complexes, and Beaumont Park racetrack.
