NISBET PLANTATION

At Nisbet Plantation Beach Club on Nevis, guest amenities go far beyond flat-screens in the rooms. Actually, there are no TVs in any of the 36 accommodations. What the resort does offer is a private, intimate Nevis hotel where you can relax on the beach, enjoy gourmet dining and be attended by some of the finest staff of any Caribbean hotel. The plantation's beautifully-restored 1778 Great House and 36 charming cottages are spread among 30 acres of lush tropical foliage.

A casually elegant Nevis resort, Nisbet has been recognized as one of the best small luxury hotels in the Caribbean by major travel magazines - Gold List of the World's Best Places to Stay (Conde Naste), Top 10 Romantic Resorts in the Caribbean (The Knot), The Caribbean Hideaway Resort of the year (Andrew Harper Hideaway Report), Top 10 Values in Caribbean (Travel & Leisure) as well as AAA 4-Diamond Award for the Nisbet Plantation Beach Club and the Great House Dining Room. Activities include an oceanfront freshwater pool with hot tub, a tennis court (equipment provided), croquet lawn, snorkelling (equipment provided), fitness centre and the Palms Spa.

Car, Jeep and Vespa rentals are available to explore Nevis and tee-off times for Nevis' Robert Trent Jones championship golf course. Nisbet Plantation rates through October 2010 range from USD365 to 575 double and include accommodations, breakfast, high tea and gourmet dinner. Air Canada offers convenient Saturday connections to Nevis via Antigua while WestJet offers connections via St. Maarten on Sundays. www.nisbetplantatiom.com
