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 the Caribbean Sea and 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 appeals to the sophisticated traveler 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. All the meals served, from the daily West Indian lunch buffet to the set four-course evening menu, are prepared with 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 -- a suitable approach found in many small and intimate inns of a similar style and quality.

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.

Daily life at Rawlins is easy and simple -- full of uncontrived delights and pleasures. Walking the coconut groves and meadows above Rawlins. Ambling through the gardens of mango, papaya, banana, soursop, passion fruit, avocado, breadfruit and lime. Slumbering in an arbor hammock with the cool tradewind breezes. Admiring the antics of egrets, humming-birds, doves and kingbirds. Sipping rum punch and watching the gently swaying sea of sugar cane. Or simply reading that long-saved book and cherishing precious time with your partner. The more energetic might exercise in the pool or play a few sets of tennis, and when the time is right, rent a car to discover the sights and beaches of St. Kitts.

Rawlins Plantation, one of the smallest and finest of St.Kitts hotels and resorts, has the atmosphere of an English country house, but with a traditional West Indian ease and informality that is perfect for relaxation. An intimate and romantic Caribbean Inn.
A home rather than a hotel. The owners and staff look forward to welcoming those looking for natural beauty, good food and tranquility in the unspoiled Caribbean.
