World66 Travel Guide - Saint Kitts and Nevis
This lush tropical paradise could easily be in the South Pacific rather than the Caribbean. With lush forests and a dormant volcano, St Kitts and it's sister island Nevis are often called 'the secret The Caribbean.' St Kitts and Nevis were British colonies for hundreds of years, and the legacy lingers with afternoon tea and Cricket. They got their independence from Britain in September 1983. St. Kitts is the larger of the two islands, it is the more "developed" of the two. Its capital city is called Basseterre.

These twin islands have all the best in Caribbean vacation offerings packaged up in Lilliputian dimensions. There is even a carnival with masked dancers on St Kitts. The islands are separated by a 2-mile channel. St Kitts is all greenery and mountains. Nevis has scenic hills, gorgeous gardens and glorious coves with the Caribbean's ubiquitous pink sand beaches. Although independent, the islands have retained their English heritage.

Lonely Planet - Saint Kitts and Nevis
St Kitts is as hopping as Nevis is sleepy, but relaxation and a rum punch are requisites on both islands. The dual island nation may officially separate soon, but visitors can still enjoy a menu of plantation-cum-boutique hotels, palm tree-lined beaches and adventurous hikes.
