The Hermitage - Übersicht

At eight hundred feet above sea level, this wonderful Plantation hotel, known as The Hermitage, is situated on several acres of stone terraces. Its pastel guest cottages are scattered among fruit trees fringed with tropical flowers swaying quietly to the sounds of songbirds and doves in the daytime and a chorus of tiny bellfrogs and crickets in the soft evenings. Lovely freshwater swimming pool and excellent restaurant.

Unterkunftsbeschreibung

At this elevation the temperature rarely moves below 75 degrees or above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, year round, day or night. It is this astonishing micro-climate that makes The Hermitage location so special.

örtliche Informationen

The beautiful, uncrowded beaches of Nevis are less than fifteen minutes drive away, with all the heat and sun one expects of this perfect Caribbean island. In the afternoon and evenings it is blissful to enjoy the cool highland breezes in your own West Indian cottage.

There are miles of trails to run and to hike, with lots of interesting hills and scenery. If you want the ultimate natural full body work out then a trip to the top of the mountain will do the trick. It’s a total work out for your arms, legs and sense of adventure (and your camera finger too!).

If you would prefer to exercise in a gym using the latest equipment and the help of a trainer there is a wonderful new facility located four miles away, (a ten minute drive). Some other activities also include mountain biking, triathlons, windsurfing and SCUBA diving.

On site there is an excellent hard tennis court (with complimentary rackets and balls), trailriding on horseback (English style, escorted), carriage rides through historic Gingerland, nature walks and history hikes (the ancient "Heritage Highway" or "Upper Round Road" passes right through The Hermitage). For the child in everyone there is the farmyard with the plantation's pigs, sheep, ducks, peacocks, chickens and horses of all ages, shapes and sizes.
