3-day, 2-night itinerary
Whether celebrating a romantic milestone or just looking for a weekend getaway, St. Kitts is the perfect destination. Spend the weekend exploring the island on horseback, train and more. Enjoy exquisite cuisine, beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery with your loved one.
Day 1 Relax and play at Cockleshell Bay with a night out on The Strip
Day 2 St. Kitts Scenic Railway and Brimstone Hill
Day 3 Horseback rides at Trinity Inn Stables and adventure activities at Wingfield-Phillips Nature Trail with a late-night departure
After getting in late the night before, spend the day relaxing at Cockleshell Bay. Soak up the sun on powder-white sand, splash and float in the blue waters and take in the views of the surrounding landscape. This secluded beach offers the perfect spot for you to enjoy time with your loved one. After a relaxing day at the beach, enjoy a night out on The Strip. Dance along to live music, drink specialty cocktails and mingle with other partygoers well into the morning.
Climb aboard the St. Kitts Scenic Railway for a three-hour tour of the island’s culture and scenery. Learn about the history of the sugarcane plantations and how it was transported to the factories while taking in some of the best views. Once the tour is over, head to Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Get a look at the island’s colonial past. The citadel is one of the finest examples of superior fortification and a great example of a complete military community from the 18th century. When you start getting hungry for dinner, head back to your hotel, Belle Mont Farms, for a delicious farm-to-table meal.
Start the day with a scenic horseback ride through the lush rainforest, along the stunning beaches and the sugarcane fields. After taking in the sites, head to Wingfield-Phillips Nature trail for an afternoon of adventure. Zip line through the canopies of the rainforest and take an ATV tour through the jungle. When you are all adventured out, head back to your hotel to get ready for departure.

As a peripatetic traveler, I am always trying to balance the pleasures of dining well with a life-long challenge to control my weight. It’s not always easy, because I consider tasting typical, authentic regional dishes among the highlights of most journeys, and those foods are rarely known for “healthful” rankings! So, I started staying at spas way back in the 1980s — before they were ubiquitous — because meals were assured to be pure, clean and wholesome.
