From October, the islands of St Kitts and Nevis will be reopened to the outside world for visitors who have been fully vaccinated. For now, a mandatory quarantine is still in place but has been significantly reduced from 14 days down to just nine. 

This is the perfect time to come here for a fortnight’s holiday, spending the first nine days relaxing at home and then five days left to discover the island – and perhaps more significantly, to investigate a property that has caught your eye. 

You could, of course, make excellent use of the time and experience the ultimate ‘try before you buy’ situation. 

Take WhimSea, for example. This is a stunning four bedroomed villa with views that reach to other Caribbean islands. Accessed by a quiet country lane, WhimSea blends indoor and outdoor living. Huge doors lead out onto a vast verandah from the master bedrooms and the open-plan living room, and there’s a pool surrounded by palm trees. Tucked away on the slopes of Mount Nevis, your stay here will be punctuated by the sounds of cicadas, birdsong, and the breeze rustling the palm fronds. This is a place created for peace and relaxation, the vaulted ceilings bringing light and space and its verandah made for sundowners. Nine days in quarantine here would be effortless.

If you’d rather be directly on the beach, you could stay at The Beach Villa instead. Situated right on the most pristine beach on Nevis, the white sands are lined with palm trees in true tropical fashion. While you can’t access the sand during the nine days of quarantine, you can hang out on the huge rooftop terrace complete with jacuzzi, sun beds, and a fully equipped bar and grill. It’s a place lined up perfectly for dramatic sunsets – keep an eye out for magical green flash moments – followed by nights under starry skies. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms so this is an excellent choice for large families or groups of friends looking to quarantine together. Combined with the huge open plan living area and private balconies, there’s more than enough space for all to ease their way through the nine days.

What’s more, The Beach Villa is directly by some of the island’s most popular restaurants and organising deliveries during quarantine is safe and easy.

Both of these luxury homes are for sale so if you’re considering either a beachside apartment or a private villa tucked away in the hills then they are excellent choices for the nine days of mandatory quarantine. And once you’re able to leave and explore the island, we at Nevis Style Realty will be on hand to assist you with viewings of other properties that may have caught your eye – perhaps a resort villa at the Four Seasons, or a home in the popular Fern Hill area. 

Whether you’re looking for a rental investment, a holiday home or to start a new chapter and move to the island, now is the perfect time to explore properties on Nevis. The Alien Landholder License waiver is still in place until the end of June 2021, and the Citizenship By Investment programme includes private homes over the value of US$400,000 until November 2022. 

Slowly but surely, Nevis is reopening her borders to the world and we look forwards to welcoming you to our corner of paradise.
