| Nisbet Plantation Beach Club |
| Nevis |
Nisbet Plantation Beach Club is the only one of Nevis’s delightful plantation house hotels to be set on the beach. It sits in stunning, lawned grounds, its 38 rooms scattered in cottages around alleys of palms that give onto the striking ocean blues of the Atlantic.
Nisbet has a unique combination of traditional plantation splendour in its Great House and the relaxed beach life of the modern Caribbean. Nisbet Plantation Beach Club built on a former coconut plantation and some of the original trees still run in neat lines tousled in the ocean breeze, down to the beach. The view through the palms is simply fantastic, one of the loveliest in Nevis - an island that is already full of supreme views.
Georgian elegance of the Great House, dating from 1778 set on stone arches and has a wooden upper storey with a graceful low-pitched shingle roof. Inside, the Great House has the same traditional West Indian style, with wicker furniture on highly polished wooden floors. Drinks and dinner are held in the Great House each evening.
ROOMS
The rooms at Nisbet offer the best in tropical living. They are large and they all have a sitting area, either a screened off space with louvred internal windows, with wicker furniture and a small wetbar, or a separate room. There are three categories, Premier Junior Suites, Deluxe Suites and Superior Rooms.
They are decorated mainly in white, with white tiles, white wooden ceilings and then splashes of tropical colour, in the spreads, the colourful Caribbean prints on the walls and then the tropical flowers picked from the garden. All the bedrooms can be air-conditioned, but one of the advantages of a setting like this is the natural ventilation straight off the sea.
Rooms are positioned to catch the breeze, which you can let through by opening the louvres in the windows. Most rooms have a full bath and there are telephones, hair-dryers, safes and tea and coffee making machines. In keeping with the atmosphere of the hotel, there are no TVs. There are robes in the bathroom and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries are provided.
