If you are looking for a Caribbean destination with a difference then why not consider St Kitts? It is one of the lesser known Caribbean islands as it is relatively new to tourism. Prior to 2005 the island concentrated on its sugarcane industry, but when this declined it turned its attention to attracting tourists.
The fact that it is such a new destination is a major advantage for anyone visiting the island as St Kitts has learned from mistakes made by other better-known Caribbean islands. It has been carefully developed to attract tourists looking for something a little different and who are looking for a luxury destination with plenty to do.
Tourism development has been carefully controlled and is designed to fit in with the lush natural environment. More than a quarter of the island has been set aside as a National Park, and the rainforest is so healthy it's actually expanding.
You can explore the rainforest through hiking or even take a zip line over the canopy, or you can climb to the edge of the volcano and take a guided trip down to the crater floor. The surrounding waters teeming with wildlife and are perfect for anyone who enjoys diving, especially as the dive sites are particularly pristine.
If you prefer your holidays to have a little culture then St Kitts is the perfect destination. It was once known as the Gibraltar of the West Indies due to the number of battles fought in the 18th century. Brimstone Hill Fortress is a designated UNESCO world Heritage site which pays tribute to this past. St Kitts has something for everyone, and it's up to you whether you have a relaxing beach break or a holiday crammed full of activities.
