Although I am slightly biased, I think St Kitts is one of the most beautiful of the Caribbean islands. When it was first spotted in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, it was populated with native tribes, but wasn’t colonized by Europeans until 1623. It quickly became one of the most luxurious islands in the area due to its strategic location and lucrative sugar trade.
When the sugar cane industry finally closed its doors, the government turned its attention towards developing the tourism market, but unlike other Caribbean islands it has been at pains to ensure all developments are of the highest quality, so that St Kitts will remain an unspoiled paradise, and the delicate ecosystems are protected.
Anyone who enjoys nature will love it here, as there are various tours through tropical forests, lava formations and coastal lagoons. There are some great boat trips to take from the island, and of course scuba diving. One of my favourite things is to explore the tiny towns and quaint shops, and much of the colonial architecture still remains to this day.
If you are looking to purchase property here then one of the most beautifully developed areas is around Frigate Bay. The developments here are sympathetically designed to blend in with the natural environment, and one of the advantages of buying a condo or villa in this resort is the close proximity to both the Atlantic and Caribbean seas, so you will get the best of both worlds. This also means that property here will have greater appeal as holiday lets.
