Best Sustainable Hotels, Resorts and Eco Lodges in Saint Kitts and Nevis
Where to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis
The 4 best places to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis are sustainable and all run on local Nevisian farm and sea to plate kitchens, breeze cooled rooms in place of heavy air conditioning, and restored historic estates set in their own gardens. From the calm beachfront at Newcastle to the Gingerland hills above Charlestown these resorts and plantation inns are top rated for low-impact eco friendly comfort that keeps guests coming back to a quiet island where the food is landed at the dock and grown up the hill the same morning.
How we decide the best place to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis
Each top rated stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis is hand picked and checked for sustainability features.
We look at how the property actually sources its energy, like Oualie Beach Resort, where solar power blankets the cottage roofs and restaurant and solar heated water serves every room.
We analyse the water conservation, like Montpelier Plantation & Beach, where rainwater from two cisterns feeds the laundry and gardens and traditional breeze catching architecture cuts water use.
We verify where the food comes from, like The Mount Nevis Hotel, where the kitchen cooks farm to table from the chef’s own organic gardens and local Nevisian farmers and bakes its bread, cakes and muffins in house.
We also look at the property’s wider impact, like Golden Rock Inn, an artist owned hideaway whose rainforest trails run through habitat for native green vervet monkeys and hummingbirds.
The resort, inn, hotel and plantation hotel on this list of best places to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis have proven they are making a real effort to protect the island while taking care of its guests.

Oualie Beach Resort is a Green Globe certified beachfront resort on the calm north west shore at Newcastle, Nevis, built as low rise wooden cottages tucked into the palms.
Solar panels blanket the cottage roofs and restaurant, solar heated water serves every room, and the open air kitchen runs a farm and sea to plate menu with fish landed straight at the resort’s own dock and fruit and vegetables from local Nevisian farmers.
Golden Rock Inn is an artist owned hideaway in the Gingerland hills, set across a 100 acre former 1801 sugar plantation 1,000 feet above the Atlantic, its 40 acres of gardens designed by the late painter Helen Marden.
Rooms are cooled by natural breezes rather than air conditioning, the kitchen sources seasonal organic fruit, fish and vegetables locally, and rainforest trails run straight off the grounds through habitat for native green vervet monkeys and hummingbirds.
The Mount Nevis Hotel is a family owned hillside hotel above Newcastle, Nevis, now run by the founding owner's daughter, with sweeping views across to St Kitts.
The kitchen cooks farm to table from the chef’s own organic gardens and local Nevisian farmers, baking its bread, cakes and muffins in house to keep the food miles low.
Montpelier Plantation & Beach is a family owned Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel led by Muffin Hoffman, set in 30 acres of gardens around a 17th century sugar estate in the Gingerland hills above Charlestown.
Rainwater from two cisterns feeds the laundry and gardens, organic detergents and traditional breeze catching Caribbean architecture cut energy and water use, and the kitchen is supplied by local farmers using organic methods and fishermen landing the daily catch.
