【推荐2】The Best Hotels in St. Kitts and Nevis

Neighboring St. Kitts and Nevis remain two of the most off-the-radar islands in the Caribbean. Their beaches are gorgeous and their mountainous coastlines are perfect for day hikes. Here’s where to check in when you go.

Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbor

From the reflecting lily pools at its entrance to the wall of straw hats in the lobby, you’ll never forget you’re on sandy St. Kitts when you stay at the swish, five-star Park Hyatt fronting Christophe Harbor. We especially love that the 126 taupe-and-blue rooms are an about-face from the stuffy colonial leftovers you’ll find elsewhere on the island, which ensure those volcano and beach views are never upstaged. You’ll also enjoy water views from the Miraval Spa.

Belle Mont Farm

Calling all foodies: gourmet (美食家) meals are the standard when you stay at Belle Mont Farm, a 400-acre eco-friendly working farm built on the slopes of Mount Liamuiga, from where you can have/get a bird’s-eye view of the sea. Across the property, signs indicate when fruit is ripe to pick, while no less than six restaurants and bars showcase the island’s diversity. The one you absolutely have to hit is Kitchen, which specializes in fresh catches of the day and sources nearly every ingredient from St. Kitts or Nevis.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis

Despite its small size, this colonial beauty embodies the kind of over-the-top luxury you’ve always dreamed of: there are three infinity pools (无边泳池), pavilions with wrap-around verandas, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, a lavish spa with splendid water views, and rich activities are included, from a sailing school to tennis courts, guided hikes along rainforest trails, and even a beach waiter who roams the sands, handing out books and sunscreen.

Stevens Pass—Washington

While American families have different choices when it comes to winter snow sports, many choose Stevens Pass. For some fun after the sun goes down, Stevens Pass offers night skiing under the lights until 10 p. m. If you need to get some work done, you can head to the Visitor Center where free Wii is offered for work from mountain experience.

Good to Know: Buy tickets 7+days earlier for the biggest savings.

Beaver Creek—Colombia

With full childcare choices and the best ski school for beginners, Beaver Creek is a perfect ski resort for families. For kids who aren't quite ready to ski, the Small World Play School is a good place to go to. Add in a Cookie Cabin, and you may never want to go down this mountain!
