| St. Kitts & Nevis - a new dawn in Caribbean real estate. Separating the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea in the exotic West Indies are the islands of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis.

Often described as the hidden sanctuary of the Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis are charmingly untouched and yet teeming with culture and life. What you’ll uncover are beautiful experiences: the Caribbean’s newest deep-water mega yacht marina, the charming Four Seasons resort in Nevis, exquisite restaurants, and beautiful beachfront villas—all situated in lush estates nestled high up on volcanic ridges. With sweeping views of the Atlantic and the Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis promise a level of luxury that is both striking and memorable.

Beyond the beautiful natural setting and incredible homes, what we have all fallen in love with is harder to see, but can be felt instantly: an immediate welcome into the community. When you get to the island, it is impossible to not feel at home. The people will welcome you in and will always make time to visit with you or help in any way they can.

The dual-island nation offers two distinctive, yet equally desirable island experiences, connected by an eight-minute boat ride.

Two sisters, one spirit.

Kitts: Mother Colony Of The West Indies

The island of St. Kitts breaks away from its sister island, Nevis, and is full of fast-paced island life, and hidden relaxation. It boasts dramatic contrasts between the bustling town, a growing economy, and the serene countryside with rolling mountains centering around a dormant volcano. Driving the short journey around the island of St. Kitts will take you through rural fishing villages filled with music, smiles, and laughter, toward the undeveloped north, which can be confused with the countryside of England. Carrying down to the southern peninsula, the famous view of the crashing Atlantic and calm Caribbean Sea being separated by a mere 500 metres is an unforgettable sight.

The island is home to the luxury yacht marina, housing superyachts up to 250 ft in a safe harbor, perfectly situated smack-dab in the middle of the Caribbean. And for those wishing to vacation and take in the glorious island,

the harbour is also close to the best snorkelling and fishing on the island.

The historic landscape that follows the shores of St. Kitts is as versatile and individual as the island itself. In addition to the typical sandy shores of the Caribbean, St. Kitts has several volcanic shorelines meeting the crashing Atlantic Ocean. These create a vivid and brilliant sight similar to that of Hawaii or Bali. From any point on the island, one can see (at the very least) two neighbouring islands. The horizon, whether on Nevis, St. Barts, Antigua, Saba, or St. Martin, offers a constantly changing and captivating view.

Cockleshell Bay, at the tip of the southeast peninsula and just across the channel from Nevis, is home to the newest luxury resort and residences. The Solterre Residences offer 36 two- and three-bedroom homes and 9 estate homesites with access to full-service resort amenities, including Beach House, Hillside Club, and 24-hour concierge. Solterre is now taking reservations at SolterreResidences.com.

Nevis: Queen of the Caribbean

Nevis has been a refuge for many celebrities and artists wishing to relax in quiet and peaceful surroundings. Bespoke beach bars, and historic hotels adorn the 30 square miles of the island, creating a surreal experience of stepping back in time by 50 years. It would not be uncommon to see a donkey being ridden into town or a monkey sitting at a bar. Nevis has attracted the luxury market since before 1991, when The Four Seasons hotel started development on

residential living and a 165-room hotel. Now sprawling across 350 acres of oceanfront and mountain land, it is one of the most coveted neighbourhoods on the islands and throughout the West Indies region.

The dormant volcano which created the island offers hiking adventures and a refreshing retreat within its rainforest and natural gardens. Hop on over to the sandy beaches that cover the shores of the island, with still waters for the perfect sunset, or towards the Atlantic side with its white-capped seas for kitesurfing and surfing.

Citizenship by Investment Program

Beyond its beauty and cultural charm, St. Kitts & Nevis is known for offering the most established and highest performing Citizenship by Investment programme in the Caribbean. It is awarded as the top programme for its speed and ease of processing, inclusion of family members, and flexible travel and residency requirements.

The Platinum Standard

Citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis enjoy the benefit of dual citizenship, giving them a passport to the world with visa-free travel to over 150 countries, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Plus, it’s a solution that makes sense financially. St. Kitts and Nevis has 0% income tax, 0% capital gains, 0% inheritance tax, and a 0.002% fixed property tax. Two paths for investments are qualifying private home sales and pre-authorized developments. Options begin at $200,000 USD with application processing completed in as little as 60 days, all of which can be completed remotely without a trip to the islands. And just like that, you can enjoy citizenship for life!
