Despite its size, only 36 square miles, there’s an abundance of activity and history to be explored. Challenge yourself with a hike to the summit of Nevis Peak, the island’s dormant volcano. After the trek, soothe tired muscles at the 1778 Bath Hotel & Spring House, with mineral-infused geothermal waters hovering at a toasty 40-42°C.

A loop around the island, whether on quad bike or in a taxi, reveals sites that stand testimony to Nevis’ history. Highlights include Cottle Church, the first Caribbean church where free and enslaved people worshipped together, and Saddle Hill Fortress, an ex-British lookout point. Stop for lunch at the Heritage Café in the Nevisian Heritage Village, savouring West Indian flavours from Creole steamed fish to spiced cinnamon plantains.

With so much to see and do, why not experience the island at its most indulgent by staying at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, a beachfront oasis and the island’s only luxury hotel. From the moment you step off the boat transfer, greeted by smiling staff and a chilled rum punch (for those whose minds wander to The White Lotus, rest assured, Nevis promises only bliss), you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere extraordinary.

Start the morning with beachfront yoga and then visit the Four Seasons Spa, where coconut, brown sugar and rum are exalted in soothing rituals. Enjoy these same ingredients in cocktail form at the VIP beach cabanas and languidly roam from sea to sunbed.

The resort’s watersports centre is your gateway to the Caribbean’s endless blue. Dive into the island’s reefs and hidden grottos or try your hand at paddleboarding, waterskiing or tubing. For a day trip, set out on a fishing expedition to catch mahi-mahi, take the resort’s private boat for a day trip to St Kitts or book a sunset catamaran cruise. 

At the Four Seasons there is no shortage of decadent food. EsQuilina is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with fresh seafood and a curated wine list - it’s perfect for romance. On the Dune channels island life with a toes-in-the-sand experience and locally inspired menu. For an unforgettable meal under the stars, book a private beach dinner with a bespoke menu. Those who wish to bring a taste of Nevis home can join one of the resort’s cooking classes, which include Caribbean and Indian cuisine, pastry-making, rum-pairing and even a class at a local Rastafarian farm.
