The Beautiful Islands of Nevis and St Kitts
Resting only a few miles apart in calm Caribbean waters, St. Kitts and Nevis have always shared an intimate relationship. Today, that relationship finds St. Kitts as one of the Caribbean’s premier travel destinations, while the smaller island of Nevis offers plenty of great activities for day tripping tourists. Though St. Kitts remains a superior resort destination with more tourist opportunities, the islands have much in common. For starters, both islands feature dormant volcanoes at their center, each surrounded by lush rainforests with miles of hiking trails. Furthermore, as St. Kitts and Nevis represent former colonial outposts with economies once dominated by successful sugar plantations, both islands possess an incredible array of historic architecture. Lastly, as most visitors to the Caribbean take great interest in the beaches and the recreation opportunities provided by the Caribbean Sea, tourists will find plenty of warm, clear water and powdery sand wherever they travel.

Aruba beaches are the delight of vacationers that flock to this paradise island again and again. Aruba is a friendly country located north of Venezuela and near Curacao and Bonaire. Some call them the ABC Islands. Aruba is an independent country with close ties to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Most of the Caribbean beaches are located on the west side of the island where waters are calm and protected from the winds and extreme surfs. The beaches are mainly quiet although there are many exceptions that I will mention here. I will describe the most important of them.

St Lucia is home to some of the most unique resorts, charming inns, guesthouses and romantic hideaways in the Caribbean. Two of the most unique are Ladera and Anse Chastanet.
Ladera offers an open wall concept with your own private pool. The western side of each unit is open to the view of the Pitons. It’s like staying in a luxury tree house, and as they said “the only thing separating you from nature is the netting on your bed”.
Anse Chastanet is a luxury mountaintop retreat where every room offers something different – no two are alike. Most rooms are scattered in the lush hillside, and a few more expensive rooms are located on the beach. Be forewarned there are nearly 100 steps to the beach from the hillside.
