My Plans to Visit The Caribbean Island of Nevis

21/05/14 ᛫ Add a Comment

My 2014 travel schedule is shaping up nicely. With Skiing in Tignes and Easter in Rome in the bag, I’m looking forward to Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, followed by Ibiza, LA and Istanbul. But yesterday a new destination landed as a potential in my 2014 travel schedule, which comes in the form of the Caribbean island of Nevis. Haven’t heard of it? Don’t worry, neither had I until a few weeks ago.

Nevis is a small Caribbean island next to the island of St Kitts. Unlike it’s overdeveloped and internationally known big brother Barbados, Nevis remains totally undiscovered to many, especially the Brits. This morning I had the pleasure of an early breakfast meeting at London hotspot Cecconi’s with the General Manager of The Four Seasons Nevis, Sven Wiedenhaupt. Sven painted the most amazing picture of both the Island and the resort, and quite possibly has the best job in the world? It’s safe to say I now have serious wanderlust.

I absolutely love learning about corners of the world that I never knew about, which is why I adored my press trip to the secret Indian Ocean island of La Reunion. Being the travel geek that I am, I couldn’t wait to ask all about the Island and the resort. A trip to Four Seasons Nevis would combine both of my passions, exploration and Luxury travel. Sven told me that Nevis is a Volcanic island, so has expansive green and lush landscapes that are perfect for hiking through. I’d definitely keep active and try my hand at a few volcano treks. It also has 4 waterfalls, how’s that for paradise?

The Four Season Resort is the ONLY fully functioning resort on the whole Island, and it was great to hear that it fully supports the Nevis economy by being the biggest employer on the Island. Within close proximity to the US, around 80% of the tourists are predominantly American, but it’s actually easily accessible from the UK too. An 8hr flight takes you to into Antigua then after a short 1hr stop over, you’re in St Kitts. You’re then whisked off to Nevis by boat, to land on the private shores of the Four Seasons Resort. Simples!

With not a high-rise block in sight and traditional Caribbean architecture throughout, The Four Seasons Nevis maintains an ambience of real Island culture. Combined with 4 gorgeous restaurants, an idyllic spa and a killer golf course, The Four Seasons Nevis sounds like a real hidden gem that I cannot wait to discover.

Have you visited the Island of Nevis or are thinking of going? Or perhaps you’ve never heard of it and now want to visit like me! If you’ve enjoyed this post, please leave a comment in the box below x

    Looks beautiful! I’m jealous of your travel schedule (do you get that a lot??) as I haven’t even planned my summer holidays yet! This is the first year I’m being restricted by the school holidays due to the BFs job, but our weekends are fast getting booked up. Maybe I’ll wait until October half term and go to a lovely, hot, far-away place like this 🙂

St Nevis is a stunning volcanic island which sits next to it’s big brother St Kitts. The explorer in me can’t wait to get my hiking boots on and discover the island’s volcanoes and waterfalls, as well as relaxing on the beach of course!

Yesterday we hopped off the ship at Rotterdam and spent the day in Amsterdam on a shore excursion with a river cruise and 3 hours free time. We also found the best kept secret in Amsterdam, especially for foodies. Head to my stories to see what we got up to ⚓️

If you’re curious about any aspect of cruising leave a question as a comment and i’ll let you know! 💓

Hi guys 👋🏼 I’m so excited to share that th Hi guys 👋🏼 I’m so excited to share that this Sunday I’ll be setting sail with @princesscruises for my second ever cruise.

Some of you may remember I experienced a cruise for the first time back in 2018 with Princess Cruises, embarking on an epic 10 day adventure around Russia and Scandinavia (swipe right for throwback photos). 

This time our 5 day cruise will be departing from Southampton and calling at Rotterdam, Bruges and Guernsey. 3 new entirely destinations for me to explore and share. I’m especially excited to see Rotterdam as it’s my Grandma’s home town and the place of my Dutch roots. 🇳🇱 

We also get a “sea day” which gives us time to enjoy all the luxurious facilities on board our ship, #EnchantedPrincess.

I’ll be travelling with some fabulous fellow content creators including @kirstyleannetravels @charliepauly @laurenacliffe @bonnierakhit @joshuanueva. Be sure to give them all a follow to see the same trip from different perspectives. 

Have you ever thought of doing a cruise or are you already a cruise covert? Hope you can all follow along 🚢 💫

I took Theo and my parents so we were able to sample lots of different dishes (as well as the kids menu) and we were all so impressed with both the quality of the food and also the service. 

The menu is a very international so you can pretty much eat your eat around the world in three courses (or stick to one type of cuisine). But either way there’s definitely something to appeal to everyone around the table

Here are my recommendations from Bill’s new menu;

Starters
✔️ Cheese and truffle fondue with sour dough bread - hands down the best of the 3! Ridiculously good
✔️ Burrata and chargrilled red peppers - insane creaminess in the Burrata, my Dad loved it
✔️ Crispy calamari with roast garlic and basil aioli - a staple starter for me! You cannot go wrong 
✔️ Bill’s sticky duck salad - so light, fresh and flavoursome 

Mains 
✔️ Bill’s sea bass thali - What I ordered. An Indian feast on one plate with so many elements. Loved it!
✔️ Halloumi shawarma - a strong choice from my Mum, I kept stealing her halloumi 
✔️ Miso salmon and aubergine - My Dad raved about this. I was also tempted to order it

Dessert 
✔️ Chocolate and salted caramel tart 
✔️ Eton colada 

The kids menu was also great at £5.95 for two courses and a side, and lots of great / tasty / healthy options beyond the classic kids menu dishes.

Thanks to the team at York Bill’s for such a great experience ✨

Which of the above dishes sound like a bit of you? 🤤🍽

New on the blog is my review of @columbia_beach_resort, which I visited with my family in March with @jet2pics. Find my full review via the link in my bio. 👆🏼#Jet2Cyprus 

Whilst this was a press trip, I researched and selected the hotel myself, and it didn’t disappoint. A few reasons why I chose Columbia Beach Resort:

🍋 It’s part of @smallluxuryhotels 
🍋 Spectacular beach front location
🍋 Beautiful aesthetics whilst also child-friendly
🍋 30 minute transfer from Paphos airport
🍋 Excellent Trip Advisor reviews on food and service
🍋 Kids clubs for babies to age 3 and ages 4-12 (free for 4-12)
🍋 Small play area and shallow children’s pool 

This holiday was part of an Indulgent Escapes package with Jet2Holidays, which come with lots of additional benefits such as:

🌥25kg baggage allowance per person
🌥 Private transfers to and from your hotel
🌥 Priority lane passes through security
🌥 A round of complimentary drinks on board your Jet2 flight (including beer and wine)
🌥 A luxurious gift on arrival at the airport (ours was a beautiful leather travel wallet)

All of these little extras really added up to make our journey so much easier and more enjoyable, especially the priority lane pass at @leeds_bradford_airport and the private transfers on arrival. The driver even had a toddler car seat so we didn’t need to worry about bringing one along with us. I was so impressed.

Hope this review comes in handy for some of you! Check out the blog post and feel free to ask any further questions about this hotel in the comments ☀️
