Fabulous & Romantic Nevis

Nevis is mostly about relaxing. But that doesn't mean you can't find activities if you want them. There are hikes to the waterfalls in the mountains of the Nevis peak. You can also hike to the top of the volcano if you so desire. There are tennis courts and pickleball. In fact, the Four Seasons Nevis offers three surfaces for tennis (grass, clay or hard surfaces similar to the ones you see in the US). You can swim, snorkel or jet-ski. You can spend a day at the spa or at a beach bar. It is your choice. The island is romantic but chill, formal yet relaxed and a friendly escape for families or couples.

Each night we chose a new dining destination. Each night I said that destination was my favorite one. Every restaurant we visited had an extensive wine list and the freshest seafood and vegetables grown on the island. Literally farm-to-table in the truest sense. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Mangos is a beautiful restaurant at the Four Seasons and sits right on the beach. You can see fish swimming right next to you as you dine on amazing Caribbean dishes and specialty cocktails.

• Golden Rock is amazing! It sits on an old sugar plantation and is a very small hotel as well. The food was fabulous and we spent about two hours chatting with the lovely bartender while sipping drinks in the bar inside an old sugar mill.

• Drift is a small, beautifully decorated restaurant on the beach. The sunset view will take your breath away. Each table is set perfectly and the decor is serene and lovely. The staff were so kind and the food so good that I almost insisted on going twice but decided I should see more of what Nevis had to offer. There is also an art gallery on the property, and most of the art you see in the dining room is also for sale.

• Montpelier- all I can say is wow! I had no idea what to expect because the concierge at the Four Seasons urged us to go there for our anniversary. It sits on an old sugar plantation and is another small hotel on the island. It was perfection. Attention to detail with both the decor and the food was impressive. There are a few places to dine at Montpelier and they all look amazing, but when you request Mill Privee, you dine with just. A few others in a 300-year-old sugar mill lit by candles.
