St. Kitts: A fusion of color and colonial history

A high mountain road winds around a bend and there – the drama of peaks and ocean in every direction – is the southeast peninsula of the West Indies isle of St. Kitts.

Approaching by yacht, the peninsula’s green mountainsides rise from the ocean floor in spectacular rugged beauty, creating golden, pink, and black sand beaches, tranquil bays, and an ideal harbour wrapped in tropical hillsides.

In this remarkable landscape, Christophe Harbour is emerging on 2,500 acres set astride the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

By Yacht, By Jet, Those who can… will be here.

While the striking mountains-meet-the-sea terrain of St. Kitts is often compared to the South Pacific, this island is in the Americas, part of the twin-island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. A warm, welcoming Kittitian culture of music, color, and fresh cuisine adds to the indelible mix.

The most romantic of the Leeward Islands of the West Indies, St. Kitts includes colonial forts, lush rainforests, and beachside villages painted in the colors of sunshine and sky. Little wonder the French and English both coveted their lovely isle and separately occupied its 70 square miles over several centuries.
