There's something about this small island that grabs you. The charm and tranquility takes you back to a time when things were simpler, when life was more peaceful, when stress was just a word, not a way of life. This 36-square-mile island lies just west of Antigua, green and serene, Nevis is truly one of the remaining un-spoilt places and proudly carries the name, "Queen of the Caribees." From the top of the 3,232-foot Nevis Peak to the depths of the clear waters offshore, there is a world of flora and fauna to be explored. In the hills, the comical green vervet monkeys chatter and scamper; in the sea, the whales cruise by. Stroll around and see the architecture of eras gone by: churches, windmills, and refurbished Great Houses.

Montpelier Plantation & Beach is a new type of Caribbean destination – a sophisticated, rather sizeable sanctuary of more than sixty acres with just nineteen rooms, that is entirely devoted to a modern sense of laid back hedonism.
Dominated by Nevis Peak, the ravines and steep slopes of this volcanic island continue to impress. Montpelier Plantation & Beach is situated high in the hills of this Caribbean gem, but in keeping with its dedication to the luxury of choice it also has a private beach.
As for the rooms, a chic, pared down approach is applied to colonial ‘bones’. Bathrooms are big and cutting edge and the rooms, thanks to their heritage, have high ceilings, hard wood floors and big windows open to the Trade Winds. Unconventionally, you will not find a TV in the rooms or an iPod docking station, or any usually ubiquitous entertainment technology. The idea is to slow down... in style.
A break from both the rat race and from tradition; this is not your usual Caribbean retreat. Clean contemporary style mixes it with the historical pedigree of a former sugar plantation.
