The Ocean's Edge development in St Kitts is unashamedly luxurious, but luckily buyers can have an easy conscience as the development is part of the Green Globe Benchmarking Programme, which is the certification process used by the travel and tourism industry, and consists of 41 different criteria covering sustainable management, cultural heritage, social and economic development and environmental issues.
This sets the tone for ownership in St Kitts as it is very much geared towards preserving the environment and making the best of natural features.
This particular development is just a 10 minute drive from Robert Bradshaw International airport, and views from the property are spectacular, while all residences are extremely luxurious. Purchasers can design and build their own villa, or buy a one or two bedroom condo, cottage or villa.
All are fitted with top of the range appliances and some even have their own private plunge pools. The amenities within the resort are extremely good, and include the usual restaurants, pools, a spa and fitness centre and clubhouse, and the Royal St Kitts golf club is nearby.
Property prices here are still a lot lower than other Caribbean destinations such as Barbados and St Barts, and the cost of living is also very reasonable. Purchasers also qualify for citizenship and various tax breaks, including tax-free status on foreign income, inheritance tax and capital gains.
The rental market in St Kitts is quite buoyant due to large numbers of US medical students attending university here, and people working on various tourism initiatives. This means that properties can be let for the longer term if necessary.
