Welcome to St. Kitts!

On St. Kitts, colourful secrets cling to magnificent coral reefs, lush mountains rise above fields of sugar cane and rainforests shelter delicate orchids and secret trails. Let your path lead you to the rim of an ancient volcano, explore submerged grottoes or enjoy a day of water sports.

Facts About the Island

Location/Size

Located in the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, St. Kitts is a lush tropical paradise without the usual tourist trappings. St. Kitts is separated from its sister island, Nevis, by a channel two miles wide and is 23 miles long and 5 miles wide, encompassing an area of 68 square miles.

Capitals

Basseterre is probably one of the most pleasing capitals to the eye in the Caribbean. Basseterre's Historic District, towards the centre of the town exhibits excellent examples of Creole and West Indian architecture. Basseterre has been around for some time; French Basseterre was a flourishing and much respected town back in 1672. The Circus, essentially a roundabout in the middle of town, is the focal point of Basseterre. It was modeled on Piccadilly Circus in London and was built following the Great Fire of 1867. A block east of the Circus is Independence Square, originally called Pall Mall Square. It was renamed on the occasion of St. Kitts & Nevis achieving political independence on September 19th, 1983. The Square was the site of the slave market where slaves arriving from Africa were temporarily quartered in the basement of a building on the south side of the Square.
