About our island

The island of St. Kitts is located in the Eastern Caribbean. From St. Kitts the islands of St. Maarten, Antigua, Saba, St. Bart's, and St. Eustatius can be seen on a clear day.

Friars Bay

The beaches

Wonderful white and black sand beaches ring the Frigate Bay area. The weather is tropical, with the always present trade winds keeping the temperature pleasant all year around. The ocean is warm, offering exciting wave action on the Atlantic side and calm gently lapping waters on the Caribbean side.

Unspoiled nature

St. Kitts, like only few other island in the Caribbean, is a lush tropical paradise. The atmosphere here is characterized by an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea air and fantastically abundant vegetation.
At the center of St. Kitts stands the spectacular, cloud-fringed peak of Mount Liamuiga, covered by dense tropical cloud forest filled with elusive green vervet monkeys and brilliant tropical flowers. The mountain range rises to a high of 3,792 feet.
The foothills, particularly to the north, form a gently rolling landscape of sugar-cane plantations and grassland, while uncultivated lowland slopes are covered with thick tropical woodland and exotic fruits such as papaya, mangoes, avocados, bananas and breadfruit.
