Nevis 1







After a final spell around the Dockyard, we took a small Beechcraft plane from Antigua to Nevis, flying time all of 17 mins, with Tiger Woods’ twin brother as our co-pilot, climbing to 6,000 feet then commencing the descent immediately! A short taxi ride later, we were at the Four Seasons resort on the west side of this small island, being well looked after by the very friendly and welcoming staff. It’s very US-centric in style and occupation, not too busy and rather nice!

Pinney’s Beach is not quite the white sands of some of Antigua’s best, being partly volcanic, but is very pleasant nonetheless. A lazy, rather cloudy, day on it was appropriately marked with a Pinney’s Paradise cocktail of Mango, local rum and a touch of Grenadine before smartening to endure the Management’s cocktail session by the pool before dinner.
