The Nisbet Plantation Beach Club in Newcastle, Nevis, offers gorgeous resort accommodations in a Caribbean plantation setting. Where fields of tobacco and sugar cane once grew, palm trees now line lawns of manicured grass. The Alexander Hamilton Birthplace Museum is eight miles from the property in the charming town of Newcastle.
The plantation was originally constructed in 1778 as the home of Fannie Nisbet, and the love she felt for her husband, Admiral Horatio Nelson of the Royal Navy, became legendary. The plantation remains a bastion of maritime romance, often frequented by couples seeking romantic retreats in the Caribbean sun. The Nelson Museum is located in nearby Newcastle.
The Nisbet Plantation Beach Club offers a crystal blue freshwater pool landscaped with palms and flanked by a spacious beachside sundeck. The beachside bar hosts a complimentary weekly rum punch party. On site activities include tennis, swimming, snorkeling, fishing and croquet. On select afternoons, the hotel hosts crab races, with opportunities for guests to place wagers on their favorite contestants. The hotel restaurant can prepare picnic baskets for guests who would like to dine alfresco. The plantation's Great Room contains the only on site television, preserving the atmosphere's quiet, relaxing atmosphere.
With 16 cottages on 30 acres of beachside property, Nisbet affords guests privacy and seclusion. Guestrooms are comfortable and windows open to the cooling breezes of the sea. The Nisbet Plantation Beach Club is a charming hotel appealing to families and couples seeking to get away from it all.
