Nisbet Plantation Beach Club

WHERE: Nevis

WHY GO? It’s Nevis’ only resort plantation directly on the beach, which ratchets up the romance factor. Cheerful, lanai-style rooms are recently refurbished with light green walls and rattan furnishings.

HOLIDAY FUN: The 1778 Great House is dolled up in holiday decor. Enjoy caroling, Santa, and a Christmas pub tour; 800/742-6008 or nisbetplantation.com.
