Archaeology shows that Nevis has been inhabited for over 2,000 years, being visitedby successive waves of Indian peoples – most of whom were originally native toCentral America. In the centuries that followed, the island experienced turbulenttimes. Yet it has always been the tranquility, beauty and friendliness of the place thatshone through.

Today, it is one of the most peaceful of all Caribbean islands, with a democraticgovernment, independent judiciary, a free press and one of the highest literacy ratesin the Western hemisphere.

It is that rarest of things: a place where happiness and relaxation come naturally.

a b r i e f h i s t o r y o f t h e ‘ Q u e e n o f t h e C a r i b b e e s ’

Nevis was first thought to have been inhabited over 2,000 years ago by indians nativeto Central America, followed by Arawak indians from the basin of the Orinoco River(now Venezuela). Some centuries after the Arawak – around AD1200 – Carib indiansbecame the next civilization to put down roots here. Today, archaeological sites acrossthe island have unearthed pottery, shells and flint tools all dating to these earlyislanders. It is thought that at around AD800 Nevis may have had a population of5,000.

Nevis entered European history in 1493 when on his second voyage Columbusthought the clouds gathering on the peak were reminiscent of the catholic miracle of‘Nuestra Señora de las Nieves’ (‘Our Lady of the Snows’). He did not, however, stepashore. The earliest European visitor is thought to have been Captain BartholomewGilbert in 1603, but Nevis was not officially settled by the British until 1628. Initially,its success was based in tobacco, but like St. Kitts, this focus shifted onto sugar caneproduction, and its wealth continued to grow. By 1660, it had become the mostprofitable per head of all British colonies. This, and its great natural beauty, madeNevis a target for other European nations, and thus began two hundred years inwhich the Spanish, French and Dutch all sought to rest control from Britain.

The first half of the 20th century saw the decline of the sugar industry; the greatestates were abandoned, and while some mills continued to be operated into the latterhalf, the last mill ceased operations in 1958. Critically, the Moyne commission of the1930s found that Britain had a duty to support the island; improved sanitation andeducation were two key results.

In the 1960s, Britain established the Federation of St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla; whichhad limited self-governance, St Kitts and Nevis were granted full independence in1983. Since then, a stable democratic government and independent judiciary hasflourished making Nevis one of the most attractive islands in the Caribbean to visitand own a home in.

Roughly circular and measuring only 9 x 12 km in diameter, Nevis covers an area ofapproximately 93 square km. With a population of only 12,000, it lies in the heart ofthe Caribbean, its famous neighbours include Antigua and St. Bart’s.

It is dominated by Mount Nevis, and with its natural rain forest enjoys a lushtopography. With year round temperatures rarely exceeding 85/30 degrees, it has aperfect ‘island’ climate. The Nevisian people are very friendly, well-educated,church-going and highly skilled. Nevis remains one of the safest Islands in theCaribbean.

The discerning visitor is extremely well catered-for. World renowned places to stayinclude the Four Seasons Nevis Resort, Nisbet Plantation Beach Club and MontpellierPlantation Inn, and their presence has brought significant enhancements to thequality of life and to the island infrastructure – including an improved road networkand airport – without compromising local charm and traditions. The Administrationis committed to protecting the island from unsympathetic overdevelopment, and in2011 is due to complete a geothermal power station that will make Nevis 100% energyself-sufficient.

Within the resort – literally on your doorstep– you’ll find a host of facilities built to the same high standards, specially designedto harmonise with their surroundings; discrete, but always within reach.

The Aman Resort hotel is located in the heart of Aman Nevis which will offer suberbviews across the expansive lush lawns towards the beach and blue waters of theCaribbean. In the spa, natural and healing therapies will be offered in luxurioustreatment villas, each designed to form a soothing natural environment. Therestaurant, bar and beach club provide the perfect place to meet, socialise and samplethe finest quality, locally-sourced cuisine.

To complete the picture, the surroundings are tastefully landscaped using naturalboulders from the island and over 5,000 newly planted palm trees. It is perfectionrealised.

Situated at the foot of Nevis Peak and occupying one of the most spectacular andprivileged positions on the eastern coast of Nevis sits one of the few remaining‘virgin’ development sites, on the sea. Breathtaking ocean views towards the islandof Montserrat, and across its three kilometre beachfront it enjoys gently slopingtopography which will offer each dwelling uninterrupted sea views.

In order to attain the highest international standards of quality and design, Amanhas engaged the services of celebrated master planner and architect par excellence,Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International, known across the world for his uniquedesign and bespoke luxury.


The Masterplan of the new Aman Nevis Resort covers over 350 acres ofpristine, untouched “virgin” beachfront on the Atlantic side of the Island, only 15 minutes from the airport.

• This plan highlights all the main features of the resort; the little blackcrosses represent over 5,000 newly planted mature palm trees that willcreate a lush plantation covering the whole resort. Jean-Michel Gathyused the same concept for his brilliantly received Rheeti Rah resort inthe Maldives. (please view this at www.denniston.com.my)

• Clustered around the main lodge with its reception and lounge areas,bar restaurant and library are the 40 hotel guest pavilions, all of whichhave views to the sea, and are individual “compounds” eachmeasuring over 260 sq. metres (c. 2,500 sq.ft ). Each guestaccommodation has its own private 12 metre swimming pool, diningSala, and garden

• The 40 private villas are located all around the resort, each within itsown sea view garden which covers a minimum of 2 acres ; some closeto the beach, some set back and elevated, but all are a short buggy ridefrom the main lodge, spa, beach club and 2 floodlit tennis courts.

• Getting around the resort is by golf buggy and each villa has 2 buggiesthat are included with every “turn key” villa

• The beach club has a casual restaurant and the glassed in gym faces thesea

• The hillside spa compound is a private enclave of over 12,000 sq.feetand has commanding views over the whole Resort and across toMonserrat

t h e m a s t e r p l a n


T h e H o t e lIn addition to extensive lounge areas, the restaurant and bar, the hotel has a library,boutique, screening room, fitness centre and tennis courts. Positioned at a focal pointwithin the estate it looks down a cleared avenue of trees stretching to the beach.

The hotel accommodation will comprise just 40 private pavilion rooms, eachmeasuring over 70 sqm each with its own private 12m swimming pool, terracing andprivate gardens extending to approximately 260 sqm. All will have wonderful viewsof the sea.

T h e S p a The estate will have a spectacular Spa perched on an escarpment at the western edgeof the resort, with dramatic views towards the sea with Montserrat in the distance.

T h e B e a c h C l u bThe beach club will have a bar restaurant and gym at the water’s edge.

T h e V i l l a sPlease see the “master zoning plan“ which highlights the location of each of the 40villas. Each villa can vary between 4-6 bedrooms and owners can alter theconfiguration to include a screening room and or private gym instead of having oneof the extra bedrooms. All villas come fully furnished. Owners may choose their ownfurnishings but if they do so, they will not be eligible to enter the rental programme.

Introducing indigenous woods and stones, his designforms a modern masterpiece that blends into the traditions of Caribbean Island lifeand provides guests with spacious, innovative, modern luxury within a secure andprivate environment.
