These Cozy Caribbean Villas are nestled along the shores Pinney’s Beach of Nevis Island. Very close to the Four Seasons Resort itself, some of these Nevis Villas are actually set right along side the gorgeous Nevis Golf Course!

Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the course provides a dramatic view of the Resort, the Caribbean and the neighbouring island of St. Kitts. Enjoy one or both of our two complimentary weekly clinics. A golfer’s conditioning programe is also available for an applicable fee. Guests are invited to take part in the 9-hole guest/manager scramble each week (fee applies).

These Nevis Villas are walking distance from one of the most luxurious Caribbean Spas I have ever been to! I love their description…

The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Nevis is a sanctuary of well-being, offering you the opportunity to reconnect with yourself. Choose from our irresistible range of services, all of which have been created to reflect the rhythms of nature, the beauty of the island, the strengths of the elements and the energies of the seasons. The Spa offers rejuvenating body treatments and a selection of massage therapies, all with the personalised Four Seasons touch. Our special beach-side massage situates you just steps from the waves, where you will be lulled by the sound of the surf.

Traveling With The Kids

In need of a good, bonding Caribbean family vacation!? We could all use one here and there.

From what I see day to day, I think we should all cherish the time we have with our loved ones much more.

So why leave the kids at home? They too could benefit from a fun-filled yet relaxing Nevis Vacation as you all immerse yourselves in Rich Caribbean Culture.

And who doesn’t love going to the beach!? That was a rhetorical Question BTW :)

Special for Families - Adopt a Sea Turtle:

Nevis is a nesting ground for endangered hawksbill, leatherback and green sea turtles. Four Seasons Resort Nevis has partnered with the Carib’n Conservation Corporation to “adopt a sea turtle” for each family checking in with kids 16 and under. Kids get a certificate, conservation guide, logo magnet, & more. The “adopted” turtles have been named and satellite tagged with transmitters for research. Back home, kids can track the migratory patterns of their turtle online via www.cccturtle.org.

For a fun interactive and educational online activity… see Turtle Tides HERE!
It is a section devoted to kids! Here you will find links to games, turtle heroes, activities, artwork, information to download and past Turtle Tides newsletters. We will continue to add content from kids, parents and educators.

Geothermal Reservoir Expantion in Nevis

Another source of energy! Geothermal explorations on Nevis Island are still expanding…

The Second sustainable geothermal reservoir has been discovered on the gorgeous Island of Nevis!

The works shifted from Upper Jessups to The Hamilton Estate.

FYI - The Hamilton Estate was once a sugar plantation owned by Nevis native, and America’s first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. It is a historical development that incorporates Nevis’ natural beauty and historical architecture, forming the Caribbean’s latest luxury resort development.

The move followed the discovery of a second successful sustainable geothermal reservoir at Nevis 2 in Jessups, which expanded the geothermal reservoir discovered by the Nevis 1 geothermal well on June 02, 2008.

Caribbean net news got an interview with Chief Executive Officer of West Indies Power Holdings, BV Kerry McDonald who said with the new discovery, Nevis could produce well over 100 Megawatts of energy and gave details on the status of drilling operations on the Nevis Island.

kerrymcdonald2.jpg “This is strictly an exploration hole site [Nevis 3]. When we are finished, this will be reclaimed and left. Right now we have just finished Nevis 2 which we drilled to 2407 feet and at that [depth] we had temperatures of 498 degrees Fahrenheit, that’s 1000 feet higher than that same temperature was encountered on Nevis 1.

“It also had well head pressures of 291 psi (pounds per square inch) which is 191 psi greater than at Nevis 1. So it was a very successful well and now we have shut that in and we will be doing testing on that later and we will start today drilling the Nevis 3 well, which will take us between 30 and 40 days to complete.”

rig2.jpg nevis-2.jpg

“After that [Nevis 3 Site], we will be returning to Nevis 1 to actually start the production well at Nevis 1 at that same time the construction people will be starting to come in. We have had some delays because of the hurricanes but they are still scheduled to come in about that time.

“So far the project is going well. Nevis 2 was 1.3 miles south of Nevis 1. Nevis 3 where we are right now is 1.3 miles south of Nevis 2 and we do presume we will find the same resource here and with that resource we will be able to have several hundreds of mega Watts [of energy] that we will be able to produce… The production rig is schedule to come in here [Nevis] within 30 to 45 days and we will begin drilling at Nevis 1 again.”

Read more on Geothermal Resources HERE. Their website says that Geothermal Energy is heat (thermal) derived from the earth (geo). It is the thermal energy contained in the rock and fluid (that fills the fractures and pores within the rock) in the earth’s crust.

Sounds like Nevis is rich, not only in Culture, but in Geothermal Energy as well!
