Our favourite rooms
The seven suites at Sunset Reef St Kitts are very similar in style so there’s no best bedroom to bagsy should your party be large enough to book out the entire resort. All suites have balconies with insanely beautiful sea views – and that’s probably what you’re here for. The calming neutral decor is comfortable, understated and doesn’t try to steal attention away from the Caribbean sea. Driftwood coffee-tables and shell chandeliers make up some of the beach-inspired accents. You’ll also spot some local photography on the walls, designed to whet your appetite for places to go in St Kitts. Opt for the Liamuiga and Caribelle suites if you’d like a shower room large enough to fit a rolltop bath. Caribelle and Trinity have full kitchens as opposed to kitchenettes, with the latter also boasting its own dining deck.
Poolside
The infinity pool sits on high (hello, views…) at the heart of the hotel and is open 24 hours a day. Enjoy partially submerged pool-loungers and cozy fire-pit-warmed seating, which there’s no need to leave as each has a call button; we like shading ourselves under the mango tree.
Spa
No spa so far, but massages, facials and nail services are all available in-room. There’s a massage platform in the hotel gardens, a yoga deck and an indoor/outdoor fitness center with an Olympic weight-lifting platform, all of which look out onto the stellar sea views. Get a taste of the Scandi spa experience with the 104-degree mineralised hot spa or the 55-degree cold plunge-pool, if you’re feeling brave.
Packing tips
Bring binoculars for spotting a whale or two over breakfast; golf clubs, if an 18-hole golf course in St. Kitts (and another in neighboring Nevis) floats your boat; sensible shoes for hiking up Mount Liamuiga; and reusable water bottles.
Also
The concierge team can play cupid with a private meal on the sand or view-blessed balcony. And, they’ll keep you entertained with excursions, activities, private yoga and fitness classes, maybe even a karaoke session, movie night or beach barbecue.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs up to 25lbs can stay for a one time non-refundable fee of $125. See more pet-friendly hotels in St Kitts & Nevis.
Children
There are no child-specific facilities, but babysitting services can be arranged with a third party provider for a fee. Infant cribs are available on request and sofas in rooms double up as pull-out beds. No kids’ menu but they’ll love the pizza.
Sustainability efforts
Clean, serene and very green. Sunset Reef goes the extra mile when it comes to eco efforts, making ample use of all that Caribbean sunshine, a rich source of renewable energy here. A sophisticated geothermal system powers the hot water for cooking, showers, laundry and even the AC. All the lush vegetation of the gardens is native to the island and doesn’t need its thirst quenched too often. When guests require hydration however, all rooms have a reverse-osmosis water-filtration system and single-use plastic water bottles are nowhere to be seen. In the rooms, you’ll find all-natural, coral-reef-friendly toiletries by Beekman 1802 and there are future plans to install a solar cube and hydrogen-generation plant which will in time put the property completely off-grid.
