Architecture... The island of St.Kitts has varied architectural structures, some of which date back to the 17th century, with architectural influences from the French English settlers who occupied the territory at that period. There are more than 200 historical sites to be found around the island including homes, government buildings, plantation houses and a pre-revolutionary war mountain fortress. Brimstone Hill Fortress... is one of the great fortresses of the Western Hemisphere and the most important historical site on St. Kitts. It is the only man-made UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Eastern Caribbean. St. Kitts Scenic Railway National
Tour...The narrow gauge St. Kitts Railway offers visitors to St. Kitts one of the most beautiful train rides in the world.

Nature...St. Kitts has splendid nature trails leading into the mountains and rain forests. The local guides are especially knowledgeable here; they will instruct hikers on the medicinal uses of native plants, discuss the islands' history and culture,and identify local flora and fauna.

The course is reputed to be the longest in the Caribbean, and just reopened in November 2003 after an intense upgrade by the Marriott Hotel.

golf are intertwined with the volcanic landscape of the island. Take special care on 15, 16, and 17 where the Atlantic Ocean creates a formidable water hazard. Two of the courses' front nine holes play next to the Caribbean Sea. Where else can you play a round of
golf while overlooking not one but two great bodies of water? The Villa overlooks the 15, 16 17th holes. The Royal St Kitts
