FAIRVIEW GREAT HOUSE & BOTANICAL GARDENS

This 18th-century Great House has been authentically restored to its former glory with careful attention to historical detail. Step back in time as you wander through the dining room with its sixteen-seat mahogany dinner table and antique silver service, as well as the Historical Room that chronicles the fascinating past of Fairview. Step onto the master bedroom veranda and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic vista of the Caribbean Sea, South-East Peninsula, and St. Kitts’ sister island of Nevis. Then take a leisurely stroll through the Botanical Garden filled with local flora, identified with signage providing interesting information about each. Don’t forget to watch the monkeys who love to feast on the fruit trees on the property.

OLD ROAD BAY

Here at Old Road Bay, Sir Thomas Warner, his family, and 14 other colonists began the first permanent European settlement in the Leeward Islands. Rather than cultivating sugar, it was tobacco that had drawn Warner to the island, and it was the island’s tobacco crop that first supported the settlement. The Warner family estate served as the capital of St. Kitts until 1727 when it was moved to Basseterre. Outside of Old Road Bay, a number of interesting Carib petroglyphs can be found.
