Harbour offers guests a journey of rare and intimate experiences. All 78
rooms and 48 suites are sustainably and thoughtfully designed by Range
Developments, incorporating local materials and seamlessly intertwining
contemporary architecture with colonial design. Each room’s chic,
Kittitian-inspired décor showcases views of the Caribbean Sea and the
islands beyond, with luxurious touches of peerless quality such as
private balconies and terraces, rain-showers and deep soaking tubs. For
the ultimate indulgence, the three-bedroom Presidential Villa is
equipped with a private infinity pool, wellness area, personal butler
and private chef.
Dining experiences offer exceptional local and international cuisine. Fisherman’s

Great House, reflective of a grand colonial home, offers all-day
dining, a Rum Bar, herb garden, chef’s table and a conservatory serving
plantation afternoon tea.
Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour features both indoor and outdoor
private event spaces, suitable for incentive groups, weddings and social
functions. The two lush private event lawns enjoy uninterrupted views of
Banana Bay and the neighboring island of Nevis. Events were
traditionally held in residences on the island and the resort’s Reception
Hall houses seven chic indoor event spaces. Multiple locations allow
the resort’s event specialists to create diverse functions and give
event planners peace of mind with dedicated spaces. The idyllic resort
location offers a romantic setting for wedding ceremonies and functions.
The Beachfront Lawn or the private Terraces are beautiful locations for
ceremonies and receptions. There are numerous locations for photography,
including the golden sandy beach and rolling hills behind the resort,
both providing stunning backdrops.
Miraval Life in Balance Spa at Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour
brings Miraval’s award-winning spa services to the luxury resort. With
therapies that honor nature and the mind-body-spirit connection, guests
can cleanse, heal and nourish their bodies and minds in this
37,752-square-foot state-of-the-art oasis. The spa entrance and
reception area provide a view of Mount Nevis and also overlook the
Rampart Pool and The Narrows – the majestic straight separating St.
Kitts from its sister island Nevis. The spa’s design features natural
stone walls with nine treatment rooms, including three couples’
treatment rooms complete with heated private plunge pools and outdoor
showers. Guests can take advantage of the 24-hour, 1,750 square-foot
fitness center at The Sugar Mill, which is also home to yoga and
meditation experiences. After a day filled with relaxing spa treatments
and dynamic wellness activities, guests are welcome to enjoy the Miraval
signature tea, made with a fusion of rejuvenating local herbs such as
lemongrass, basil and thyme.
“We are excited by the opening of the Miraval Life in Balance Spa at
Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour, the first Miraval Life in
Balance Spa to open within the Hyatt portfolio since Miraval joined
Hyatt. Wellness and mindfulness are becoming increasingly important to
our guests, and the opening of the Miraval Life in Balance Spa in St.
Kitts is yet another way we demonstrate care for our guests,” said Marc
Ellin, global head of Miraval Group. “This spa integrates the essence of
Miraval – an industry leader in the destination spa wellness resort
category – into a breathtaking West Indian setting for an unforgettable
luxury experience.”
To encourage guests’ island immersion, Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe
Harbour offers a series of enriching “journeys” that have been carefully
curated to introduce guests to the history, culture and people of the
Federation, which until 2005 had sugar production as its dominant
industry. True to the Park Hyatt brand’s commitment to bring rare and
intimate experiences to travelers, the itinerary for each immersive
journey features local activities and interactions with interesting
personalities. From walks with an island historian and rainforest
excursions, to visiting the UNESCO Brimstone Hill Fortress that was
elemental in Caribbean history. For the resort’s youngest guests, The
Island Fort by Camp Hyatt offers educational activities and an
introduction to the culture of St. Kitts and Nevis.
“From employing more than 800 Kittitian staff in the opening phases to
working with local purveyors for restaurant ingredients, Park Hyatt St.
Kitts Christophe Harbour brings forward the island’s warm hospitality
throughout guests’ entire experience,” said Flor van de Vaart, general
manager of Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour. “We are confident
guests will enjoy highly personalized service amidst our luxurious and
sophisticated environment.”
