HISTORY, CULTURE & ADVENTURE

Visitors to St. Kitts can discover the island’s past at Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Also steeped in history is the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, the last of its kind in the Caribbean.

St. Kitts is home to the oldest surviving rum distillery in the Caribbean, the Old Road Distillery, which dates back to 1681. The distillery is being given a new lease of life as the home of the hip Old Road Rum Company.

Adventurers can hike up the dormant volcano of Liamuiga, taking in some of the island’s stunning ecosystems, including rolling cloud forest. Fans of watersports can enjoy snorkelling, diving and sailing, and adrenaline junkies can reach 80km an hour on a zipline set amongst the lush rainforest.

St. Kitts is carving out a sensational Caribbean culinary and drinks scene.

Passionate chefs are creating seasonal dishes bursting with island flavours. Whether it’s fresh-off-the-boat seafood with locally grown produce or the traditional weekend island stews , there’s lots to tuck into during your stay.

St. Kitts serves up something special in a variety of stunning settings - historic stone walls of an old sugar plantation, rainforest dining for a farm-to-table harvest feast, private dining cabana at a 5-star resort or the laid-beach bars for the perfect sunset views.

The new ‘Kittitian RumMaster’ programme sees renowned Kittitian rum producers lead a day of touring, teaching and tastings. There is also the Liamuiga Natural Farm experience, which take visitors high into the rainforest for a fantastic feast with stunning views.
