Experience Heaven on Holidays in St Kitts

Getting there and getting around

St Kitts is home to one major airport that welcomes British holidaymakers in their thousands throughout the year. The airport here is called Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw Airport and is situated 2 miles from the capital Basseterre. Flights to St Kitts can be found departing from major airports in the UK with a flight time of approximately 10 hours. When you visit St Kitts you are likely to spend the majority of your time relaxing on the beautiful powdery sands and swimming in the clear warm seas, which means getting around St Kitts is best done barefoot. Unfortunately if you’re looking for cheap holidays to St Kitts you may be disappointed. However, the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’ is fully realised by this beautiful island. Luxury is what you can expect here and taking your holidays to St Kitts will be worth every penny.

Things to do

St Kitts holidays are all about simply doing nothing at all. Holidaymakers come here to leave the stresses and strains of everyday life back home. Beautiful white sands, crystal clear waters, perfect weather and exquisite views have given St Kitts the fantastic reputation that it holds to this day. However if you feel like venturing away from the sands anytime during your stay why not head for the bustling capital Basseterre, where you will find a vibrant town boasting an array of shops and restaurants, pleasant buildings and incredible duty free shopping. A local market takes place in Basseterre where you can purchase all kinds of goods, from leather to jewellery, all at low prices.

Food and drink

Food and drink in St Kitts is definitely worth a try. Almost everything the locals eat here is freshly produced and fish is high on the menu. You will find the food here very much influenced by traditional West Indian cuisine, but there are some local specialties that are well worth a taste. Goat – water stew is a popular dish and is served at many of the restaurants in St Kitts.
