About Nisbet Plantation , Nevis Caribbean Nevis, in the Leeward Islands of the NE Caribbean, is two miles southeast of its sister island, St. Kitts. A cloud crowned 3,232-ft. volcanic peak dominates Nevis. It was Columbus, on his voyage in 1493 who imagined the clouds to be snow and named the island "Nustra Senora de las Nieves" (Our Lady of the Snows) - which has been shortened over the years to Nevis (Nee-vis). Nisbet Plantation Beach Club is situated on thirty acres of an old plantation, edging the island's reef-protected shore with a white sand beach With a beautiful location directly on the beach, Nisbet Plantation is dotted with stucco cottages under the palms. The Great House has a relaxing cocktail lounge, formal dining room, and family game room. Next to the Great House is our reception/front desk and Spa. Two al fresco restaurants are located right on the beach: Coconuts for breakfast and Sea Breeze (for lunch and afternoon cocktails). A freshwater pool is also located directly on the beach. The Palms Spa - for the body and soul. Massage, reflexology, facials, wraps. See our spa menu. Fitness Centre -New Cybex equipment for those who can't leave their fitness regimen behind! (Or who love our gourmet meals too much.) Pack your workout clothes! Hot Tub - luxuriate in our brand new hot tub right on the beach. Tennis Court - stay on top of your game. Picnic Lunches - These can be prepared for guests who are planning picnics, fishing trips, or other off-site diversions. Car Rental - Car and Jeep rentals can be arranged through the hotel. You will need a valid National Driver's License and EC$50 (US$25) to receive a temporary Nevisian license. (And then just remember we drive on the LEFT!) Babysitting - Reliable sitters can be arranged through the front desk. Children under 8 are encouraged to dine at 6pm. Church Services -There are over 70 churches on our tiny island, including Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, and other denominations. Transportation can be arranged a day in advance.

History buffs will enjoy a comprehensive tour of the various Plantation sites which Nevis Resort Activities- Nisbet plantation Nevis Many of our guests prefer to stay close to the resort and soak up its incredibly relaxing atmosphere. And why not? It's a quiet beach community away from the maddening crowd, where the buzzing of jet skis is never heard. To make life a little interesting, there are a number of fun things to do at the resort - from snorkeling and sunbathing to tennis and croquet island style. We have a fitness centre with state of the art Cybex equipment for cardiovascular and strength training, so don't forget your gym clothes. If your idea of "activity" is surrendering to a totally relaxing massage, be sure to visit The Palms, our new spa treatment room. Guests are invited to wager on crab races. Proceeds are matched by Nisbet Plantation and go to the local school to purchase new computers. (All the crabs are, of course, returned unharmed to the wild.) And on Thursday evenings, the Managers Rum Punch Party. Afterwards, you can relax under the stars next to our pool. Our team of chefs will grill shrimps, grouper, blue marlin, mahi mahi, steak, and more, right before your eyes. Throughout the evening you'll be entertained by the rhythms of a local West Indian band. As a place where easy living is the sole pursuit, we've done all we can to ensure that finding your brand of relaxation is as effortless as possible. So whether you're looking for a sporting experience, some exercise, or merely a light diversion, we've brought them all together for you.

For a completely original and inexpensive golfing experience, we recommend an outing at Cat Ghaut, a nine-hole par-3 mini-course just 5 minutes from the resort. The Palms, our spa/fitness centre For our more adventurous guests, the island of Nevis offers Gourmet Dining at Nisbet Plantation As a small resort, we understand that fine dining is one of the most important ingredients of a truly memorable vacation experience - a fact that is known throughout the island of Nevis and beyond. Our consistent creation of impressive culinary experiences was instrumental in having Nisbet Plantation recognized as the "Hideaway Resort of the Year for the Caribbean" in Andrew Harper's Guide to Peaceful and Unspoiled Places. Recognition from such a prestigious travel authority is a source of great pride. It is, however, less important to us than the praise our visitors provide when they sign the Great House Guest Book which is open for everyone to read. There, the only complaint you'll find is that the choice of tantalizing dishes makes selecting just one so very difficult! Our talented chefs labor tirelessly to prepare innovative dishes that scrumptiously blend traditional culinary disciplines with the authentic flavors of the Caribbean. The result: delicious gourmet Caribbean cuisine is served at three restaurant locations with unmatched personal service.
