Discover the authentic charm, spectacular scenery and adventure pursuits of St. Kitts; or come for the Music and the Cricket.  The current British Airways' Sale is offering great value deals to St. Kitts in the Caribbean starting from £569.00 pp. and there is still time to book – and banish those January blues - before the Sale closes at midnight on 2 February 2015.

Stay in the bustling Frigate Bay area at Timothy Beach, starting from £569.00pp* for 7 nights, travelling in May and June, the only hotel located on St. Kitts' Caribbean coast with a plethora of watersports and beach bars nearby.  Or the nearby Sugar Bay Club from £785pp with shopping outlets minutes away and a raft of eateries to satisfy foodies.

If looking for a larger resort, the St. Kitts Marriott, offering one of the largest white sandy beaches on the island, is on Sale from £819.00pp on selected travel dates in May, June and September, a perfect time to visit the island when the beaches are empty and watersports are at your disposal.  

June is a great time to experience island events and indulge your love of music or cricket.  From 13 to 17 June, the three great cricketing nations of West Indies, Australia and South Africa 'bat' it out at the Tri-Nation Cricket Series swiftly followed by the St. Kitts Music Festival from 23 to 25 June, which promises a spectacular line-up of international and regional artists for the much anticipated 20th anniversary year. 

Near the capital, Basseterre, the Bird Rock Beach Hotel is an ideal base for the Cricket or the Music with special offers from £821.00 ** and there is also diving and dolphins for recreation time.

Fancy some Hiking?  Former 17th Century sugar plantation, Ottley's Plantation Inn near the foot of Mt. Liamuiga, is on Sale from £1,245.00pp while the freshly renovated boutique hotel, Ocean Terrace Inn, the ideal base for a range of land and watersports activities, has 7 night packages from £1,265.00pp.

Going Luxury?  Experience the novelty of Farm to Table cuisine at the luxury Belle Mont Farm boutique hotel in the hills, with stunning views all round or take the opportunity to explore St. Kitts from a private villa, with three days car-hire included; the choices are endless.

Whatever your interest, St. Kitts, part of the northern Leeward Islands, has an outstanding reputation for its heritage and culture, cuisine, events and hospitality and there is plenty to see and do. Take to the lush rainforest for an amazing botanical and wildlife adventure or for an adrenaline rush, zip-line your way above it. Hop on the unique scenic railway train for a nostalgic sight-seeing tour of the stunning north and eastern coasts then take in the breathtaking sight of the UNESCO Brimstone Hill Fortress. Horse-riding along the beach or interior is a leisurely way to enjoy the views or for something a little more challenging, explore the colourful underwater reefs, teeming with marine life and dive sites.
