Why invest in St Kitts?

If you have been looking to invest in property in St Kitts, then you're probably weighing up the pros and cons of this little island compared with more established Caribbean islands, but I feel there are lots of good reasons to choose St Kitts. It's fast becoming one of the rising stars in the Caribbean, and visitor numbers are predicted to continue increasing especially as some of the luxury resorts such as Oceans Edge are completed.

The majority of investors choose this island largely because of its unspoiled landscape and its commitment to ecotourism, with many of the developments being constructed to have a low impact on the environment. It also has an abundance of activities for visitors to choose from, and there is literally something for everyone, so rental property here will hold greater appeal across all age groups.

The fact that tourism is only just beginning to really take off means that property prices here are much more affordable than other parts of the Caribbean that have been established for longer, so the opportunities are greater as the growth in high-end tourism continues.

St Kitts now receives a large number of international flights, including flights from New York, Miami, Atlanta and Charlotte as well as flights from London Gatwick. There is also a regular daily flight service from other Caribbean destinations. In addition St Kitts has an increasingly service oriented labour force, as the college here has degree courses in hospitality management. This is a mark of the government's commitment to ensuring that tourists receive world-class services which will make them far more likely to return. In my opinion St Kitts will become one of the most sought-after luxury destinations in the Caribbean.
