Begin your island hopping holiday by flying to Antigua, where you stay at the exclusive Inn at English Harbour. The family run hotel is set on a white sand beach within tropical gardens, positioned on a wooded headland at the entrance to the historic English Harbour. The colonial-style hotel blends history and charm, offering luxury living in stylish suites as well as excellent restaurants serving some of the best cuisine on the island. The Inn at English Harbour has its own sandy beach with a private jetty, offering complimentary activities including sailing, kayaking and snorkelling.
Just a few minutes away from the hotel are English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour, both popular marinas with plenty of bars, restaurants and boutiques. The focal point of English Harbour is Nelson’s Dockyard, a historic naval dockyard where Horatio Nelson lived in the 1780s which is now home to a small museum. Overlooking the area is Shirley Heights, a bluff containing the ruins of Fort Shirley where a weekly party is held with a barbecue and local bands playing for locals and tourists.
Antigua is a small island which allows visitors to travel from one end to the other in under one hour. Jeep safaris offer an insight into Antigua’s history, with visits to many of the island’s top tourist attractions including sugar plantation and the capital, St Johns. There are 365 beaches to choose from, many with calm waters which are suitable for swimming and other water sports including scuba diving. Stingray City is a popular destination where visitors can pet stingrays, swim with tropical fish and snorkel over a colourful coral reef. Other available excursions include ziplining through the rainforest, kayaking through mangroves, helicopter tours over Montserrat and daytrips to the neighbouring island of Barbuda. Find out more about things to do in Antigua.
After five nights in Antigua, take a local flight to St Kitts then continue onwards to Nevis by boat, a short journey followed by a taxi ride to Nisbet Plantation Beach Club.
Montpelier Plantation & Beach in Nevis is set on a 60 acre private estate 750 feet above the Caribbean Sea in the foothills of Nevis Peak, offering the highest standards of service and cuisine. The Relais & Chateaux property is widely regarded as one of the best privately owned, family-run hotels in the world and was named ‘St Kitts & Nevis’s Leading Hotel’ at the 2017 World Travel Awards.
As guests may expect from a Relais & Chateaux property, fine dining is at the heart of Montpelier Plantation. While staying here, we recommend that all guests take the opportunity to dine on lobster and other fine foods in a beautiful setting at one of the hotel’s beach barbeques.
Alternatively, Nevis has a lot to offer guests who wish to get out and explore. The island is almost untouched by tourism, allowing visitors to enjoy the easy-going atmosphere and savour the island’s colonial history. Lush green vegetation tumbles down from the hillsides to secluded, palm fringed coves and sun drenched beaches. Activities include scuba diving, horse riding, playing golf or hiking through rainforests.
Spend five nights on Nevis, then return to St Kitts by boat and take a flight back to the UK.
