THE ISLAND OF NEVIS

Nevis is a jewel. And it's the "real deal." Too often, progress has overrun the Caribbean. Paradise can turn to blight in a heartbeat. That hasn't happened on Nevis and it won't. The government has carefully screened new projects so that only the most sensitive can move forward. Nevis is a place where the people are gentle and friendly, where the "old" Caribbean still has a hold. This is an island that shows you how to slow down, enjoy the quieter pleasures, and restore yourself.

The villa is ideally situated to offer both privacy and access. Just minutes from your door are great beaches, fine restaurants, funky beach bars, shopping in Charlestown, and fun activities. For those who want action, there is nearby golf, tennis, and snorkeling. Horseback riding is also offered. For the truly adventurous, try a climb to the top of dormant Mt. Nevis, 3232' above sea level!

  NOTE: There are car rental agencies in Charlestown and Newcastle on Nevis. Foreign visitors must purchase a visitor's driver's license, which will cost about US$20.00 and is valid for one year. The agency will issue you a driver's license or, alternatively, you may purchase one on Nevis from any police station.
