The Caribbean just got hotter – and not just because of the weather.
Builders at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis have broken ground on 58 high-end residences that come with all the five-star perks of a hotel stay, and then some. The 350-acre Caribbean oasis is one of the handful of Four Seasons properties that Bill Gates himself owns (his Cascade Investment company owns nearly three-quarters of the entire management company). Already two of the rare penthouses have been snapped up.
While high-profile branded residences have dominated global real estate headlines – think Ritz Carlton or Aman or even Baccarat and Porsche – Four Seasons is still the undisputed leader in the space. With 54 residential projects worldwide, the brand instills in buyers a sense of loyalty and trust. In other words, you know what you’re getting, and chances are the value will only go up.
Such is likely the case with the Nevis Peak Residences, built on the last developable parcels within the resort. Priced for exclusivity and crafted for barefoot elegance, these one- to three-bedroom condominium units seamlessly blend contemporary design with Nevisian influences. Think floor-to-ceiling glass doors, sprawling terraces with panoramic ocean views, and luxe island-chic interiors. Starting at 1,725 square feet, they cater to buyers looking for an “indoor-outdoor,” lock-and-leave lifestyle, with amenities to spare.
What amenities, you ask? Try an exclusive “Residents” clubhouse, along with three oceanfront pools and lounges, four restaurants, a full-service spa, a beach club, a kids’ splash pool and play areas, and the Caribbean’s largest tennis and pickleball complex. A dedicated staff is on hand 24/7 to manage the day-to-day of residents — doing everything from arranging personal chefs, to securing tee times at the Robert Trent Jones II golf course, to booking a sunset sailboat and captain, or simply going on a grocery run in advance of their arrival. Should homeowners choose, they can tap into the property management team, who will orchestrate the rental of their residences and post-checkout cleaning, which will offset at least some of the cost of purchase and related homeowner fees.
What’s more, ownership of these luxe residences comes with an added bonus: you get to participate in St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship-By-Investment (CBI) program. Nevis Peak Residences buyers are eligible to obtain St. Kitts & Nevis citizenship and a passport within around four months of signing a contract. Dual citizenship comes with major upside, including visa-free travel to 157 countries and no income or inheritance taxes. Citizenship extends to family members and can be passed down to your grandkids, adding long-term value to your investment beyond the comfort of the 60-plus-year-old brand equity of the Four Seasons’ name. That’s a real freaking legacy.
Even without the advantages of increased global mobility, Nevis itself is a major draw, with development tightly restricted to preserve its pristine charm. The island’s lush landscape sets it apart from the more arid and flatter Caribbean destinations like Turks & Caicos or Anguilla. It’s even wild underwater, where the island’s steep drop-offs cultivate vibrant marine ecosystems of corals and sponges, which together with chilled out manta rays, reef sharks and parrot fish create a rainbow life aquatic.
Further north on the island you’ll find a sanctuary for endangered sea turtles, which nest ashore annually. (Watching them waddle to the surf beneath the glow of moonlight is one of the Equatorial region’s greatest gifts to humanity.) On the eastern side, the Atlantic breeze creates prime conditions for world-class kite surfing; in the channels of the north and east, sport fish like marlin and tuna practically beg you to reel one in, they’re so plentiful.
Not looking to share an elevator with your beach bunny neighbors? Just down the road, the Villas at Pinney’s Beach — a collection of detached, single-family homes – are already synonymous with Caribbean luxury. Prices start at $3.95 million and they’re nearly sold out, but a handful remain for purchase. While the Villas deliver secluded estates, the Peak Residences evoke a sense of vertical, community living — perfect for younger buyers looking to blend relaxation and socializing with investment potential.
Either option is ideal for anyone obsessed with Alexander Hamilton. (The founding father was born and raised here, which you know if you saw the musical. Postscript: He was also the founder of The New York Post!)
Between the prestige of The Four Seasons brand, the unspoiled natural setting, the upscale amenities and the citizenship benefits, owning in Nevis just got a heck of a lot more enticing.
St. Kitts & Nevis Sotheby’s International Realty is the exclusive sales partner for the Peak Residences. Nevis Peak Residences start at US $1.43 million. Villas from $3.95 million.
