Why Nevis?
Sports
The beautiful tropical weather plus cool breezes are a perfect combination for outdoor games and sports which are an integral part of the social life on Nevis.
Cricket is the most popular sport both played and watched on Nevis. Matches are played between January and mid-July. Men and women can be watched playing cricket on Thursday nights in the season in Grove Park, Charlestown.
Tennis can be enjoyed at many of the hotels/inns to include the
Four Seasons Resort.
Windsurfing is available at the Windsurf and Mountain Bike Centre
located at Oualie Beach Bay.
Mountain biking is a popular activity on Nevis, it is the ideal
way to see up into the hills, ruins, villages, sites and vistas
not accessible by car (www.neviscycleclub.com).
The 18-hole golf course at the Four Seasons Resort was designed by Robert Trent-Jones and is open to non-residents from February to November. There is a 9-hole golf course and nature trail at Cat Ghaut on Shaws Road, Newcastle.
Horse racing is another hugely popular sport enjoyed on Nevis; it is sponsored by Nevis Turf and Jockey Club. Meetings are held each month at the Indian Castle Track situated in Gingerland. Contact president Richard Luppinacci at (869) 469-2201 for more information
