Nisbet Plantation Beach Club

"The ancestral home of Fanny Nisbet, who married British war hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, this former plantation is now a luxury resort, popular with luminaries from Great Britain and around the world. The plantation house, which was built in 1778, serves as the restaurant and bar, behind which an avenue of palm trees marches down to the sea, flanked by charming, standalone guest villas. At the beach, you’ll find a pool and the relaxing Sea Breeze bar—one of the most relaxing spots on the island to indulge in a “Ting with a Sting” (a favorite local drink made with CSR rum and grapefruit soda)."

"Staff become like family at this resort whose centerpiece is a restored 1778 plantation house on 30 acres of expansive lawns, coconut palms, and gardens. Lemon-hued stucco cottages with white pyramid roofs are sprinkled amid the foliage and are decorated with a light palette and have balconies or patios facing the windy Atlantic beach on the northern tip of this tiny island. The gourmet Caribbean cuisine at the Great House—one of just three air-conditioned restaurants on Nevis—includes dishes like grilled mahi-mahi with peas and rice. Thursday night's poolside barbecue comes with live music and attracts folk from all over. Note that this is where English naval hero Horatio Nelson met his wife, Fanny Nisbet, in the 1780s."
