The island of Nevis is a dreamy miniature paradise, just 6 miles long by 6 miles wide, with a balmy climate, cool breezes, calm seas, lovely beaches, colourful forests, mountain walks, elegant old plantation houses, smart hotels and restaurants, relaxed beach bars and bistros, an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course, picturesque villages, and the nicest, friendliest people you could ever hope to meet - people who wave and smile as you drive by.

In Nevis each golden day is like a time-warp back to the 1950s where people are polite and respectful and crime is rare. There are no flashy nightclubs, vulgar casinos, or rowdy tourists - just a quiet, relaxed, stylish, old-fashioned little haven that still deserves its 18th Century nickname, 'The Queen of the Caribbees'.
