1. Leave your footprints in the sand along Lovers Beach
It's secluded, provides lovely views of St. Kitts and the Caribbean, and you can swim here.
2. Picnic on the grounds of Cottle Church
A former president of Nevis, John Cottle, built a church where slaves and masters could worship together. Though it was never consecrated, it's located on the 980-acre Round Hill Estate and is a very popular attraction.
3. Get married on the site of historic Cottle Church
The church provides a scenic, natural background for a gorgeous wedding on Nevis.

4. Book a luxury beach cottage at Four Seasons Resort Nevis for the day.
The beachfront houses come with a house attendant, flat screen TV, living areas and a specially-designed chef's menu to enjoy. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two on the open air deck.
5. Enjoy a candle-lit dinner at one the plantation inns on Nevis.
At one point, Nevis produced more sugar than all of the other Caribbean islands put together. Touring a Plantation Inn is a must when visiting the island for the history, but for romance you can book a romantic dinner for two inside the sugar mill of the luxurious Montpelier Plantation Inn.
6. Tour the island via a horse-drawn carriage
Ride from the Hermitage Plantation Inn through historic Gingerland. Then lunch at the Inn's restaurant, which is quite a social event featuring some of the best cooking on the island.

7. Gaze at the stars while enjoying a bonfire on Pinney’s Beach
It's the longest stretch of beach on the island and still a bit rustic in spots. If the water happens to be muddy where you are, walk a few paces away to where it's probably perfect.
8. Honeymoon in the Sugar Mill suite at the Golden Rock Inn
The two-story, 19th century cut-stone mill boasts sweeping views of Windward Beach.
9. Enjoy the sunset while sipping a Killer Bee at Sunshine’s Beach Bar & Grill
This popular place has burned down twice and been destroyed by 8 hurricanes--each time rebuilding bigger and better than ever. There's music, bonfires and delicious Caribbean eats ranging from lobster to ribs.
10. Get a palm to honor your relationship
Have the Nisbet Plantation & Beach Club plant a coconut palm in honor of your marriage or anniversary. You can return to visit the tree for years to come.
There's a small airport on Nevis, however, most larger airlines fly into St. Kitts. From there you can take a ferry ($8-$9.00 USD) to Nevis. Or, fly into San Juan, Puerto Rico and take Cape Air to the Nevis airport. The destination is worth the journey, however you get there!
