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.
Between February and May, the slightly
drier conditions and decadently hot highs, usually around 30°C (87°F) will trump your tropical dreams. Other months
can get quite wet, with a hurricane season from August to October.
