Rawlins Plantation - Mount Pleasant
St. Kitts and Nevis Hotels
Rawlins Plantation is a tranquil 10-room country Caribbean Inn, built from the ruins of a 17th Century sugar cane plantation, perched at 350 feet above sea level on the slopes of Mount Liamuiga at the "quiet" Northern end of St. Kitts, with spectacular views of neighboring French and Dutch islands. Set in 12 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and surrounded by fields of lush green sugar there is a wonderful feeling of space and serenity. Rawlins is for the sophisticated traveler, avoiding standardized mass tourism, and seeking the real Caribbean getaway -- peace, seclusion, simple elegance, historical ambience, lovely gardens and good food.
The food at Rawlins is highly acclaimed. An interesting, varied and innovative cuisine with a strong West Indian influence. Owner/chef Claire Rawson and her staff rely on a care and imagination that is matched only by the excellence of the produce freshly gathered from the plantation gardens, nearby farmers and local fishermen. Room rates include breakfast and dinner.
Guest rooms are in charming, distinctive cottages (most of them created from the old plantation out-buildings -- for example, the honeymoon suite is an enchantingly converted windmill) scattered throughout the beautiful and colorful gardens that are rich with an abundance of exotic and tropical flowers such as hibiscus, oleander, plumbago, sesbenia, African tulip, immortelle, datura, bauhinia and flamboyant.
Rated by Judy Gale on 03/12/07 Your web site is absolutely fabulous.
I came across it on the internet web site
where they did a complete tour of your hotel with beautiful photo's and lots of information. I am originally from Barbados but now living in Alberta Canada and had no idea that there was a gem in our caribbean back yard. I am sure that my husband and I will be coming for a visit to this beautiful and tranquil island!
