Nevis is located in the chain of the Leeward Islands, approximately 1,200 miles southwest of Miami and 225 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. The island is part of the twin-island Federation of St. Kitts-Nevis and the two islands are only 2 miles apart at the closest point. Occupying only 36 square miles, Nevis is dominated by Nevis Peak, which rises to a height of 3,265 feet in the center of the oval-shaped island. Nevis Peak is surrounded by rainforest and the perimeter of the island is ringed with lush tropical foliage, beautiful sandy beaches and the warm Caribbean Sea. Charlestown, the capital of Nevis, boasts several fine examples of 18th century colonial stone architecture. The island enjoys pleasant year-round climate of approximately 79 degrees. Humidity is low and constant northeast tradewinds keep the island cool.
