Do not be alarmed, but as an introvert, there are times when I well and truly want to be alone. As you can imagine, the hustle and bustle of New York City can be incredibly depleting, so even though I have access to some of the most beautiful spas and hotels right here in the Big Apple (and even some of the more popular islands like Turks and Caicos or St. Barths), I wanted the closest thing that I would get to a private island. Enter: St. Kitts & Nevis, the latter island, to be exact.
Seated in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, a trip to Nevis is just four and a half hours from New York City. You’ll physically land on St. Kitts before being whisked away via speedboat or water taxi to the other half of the island nation, which is only seven miles long and five miles wide. It takes just 45 minutes to get from one side of the island to the other. (It was my perfect secret hideaway where I could well and truly leave all the noise behind.)
