We all feel the demands of life pull us in many directions. We all yearn for that rare moment when we can finally escape to that much earned vacation. We all wish we could get away more often and that it could last much longer. And that’s just it…because we all live for vacation, we simply thought…why not Vacation for Life? Well, the Royal St. Kitts Hotel1 has now made that a possibility, offering condominium units at its tropical, 18-acre resort property through its Vacation for Life Condominium Program.

Islands Magazine lists St. Kitts as one of the best 20 islands to live on and characterizes the island as “one of those increasingly rare isles that hasn’t been overrun by mega development” (July/August 2007). That’s exactly why we like it and why we believe you will too.

There’s no shortage of things to do here and no requirement to do anything in particular!

The Royal St. Kitts Hotel was the first major hotel to open its doors in St. Kitts in 1983, and has been welcoming tourists and locals for over 29 years now. The 18-acre resort property3 is located on a private lake, directly across from North Frigate Bay Beach, and offers an array of amenities.
