Nevis visitor campaign will have a nostalgic feel

A new marketing approach by the island of Nevis eschews the traditional colors of the Caribbean -- the blue of the ocean and sky, the green of palm trees, tawny sand -- and (mostly) replaces them with black and white. As Caribbean Week in New York began, the island's premier, Mark Brantley, told Travel Weekly that he and his team at Nevis Naturally will be launching a campaign to connect with the luxury market emotionally via the nostalgic feel that black and white conveys when paired with elegant imagery. He hopes to recall a wistful, romantic era, "how the Caribbean used to be." "We're trying to evoke a timelessness. If you want seclusion, if you want courtesy, if you want that bespoke experience, then Nevis is the place to go," Brantley said. Part of the motivation came from observing who has discovered the island on their own. "Guests who come to us can afford to go anywhere," he said, "so why do they come to us? It's how we make them feel, and that's what we're trying to capitalize on. We've been progressing quietly, but we want the world to take notice. It's time to make a bit more noise. It's time that Nevis becomes part of the conversation." Specifically, the conversations that take place at dinner parties in apartments along New York's Fifth Avenue and similar neighborhoods. Nevis may have no stoplights or fast-food chains, but plans are in the works for a private jet facility. "We've seen an explosion in villa construction," Brantley said. "We have people building $40 million homes. Nevis is the kind of place where you escape the hurly burly of success. You're in New York, you're in London, you're plugged in in L.A., and you just want to unwind with your family and spend quality time. If Covid taught us anything, it's the importance of time with loved ones and friends." The black-and-white campaign, he said, aims to inspire with timeless elegance. "Imagine Greta Garbo or one of the greats from that era in a beautiful gown in a beautiful bar. It's emotion. We're trying to bring that back, and I think that that's beautifully done in black and white. "It's going to be interesting," Brantley concluded. "As I said to our team, this is going to be a huge hit. Or a huge miss."

Why The New Four Seasons Nevis Peak Residences Might Be The Caribbean's Smartest Address

The penthouse at Four Seasons Nevis Peak Residences. Nevis has long been under-the-radar in the Caribbean—an island that trades glitz for grace and offers a quiet magnetism that's irresistible once you're in on the secret. It's a place where time slows, the water shimmers in a softer shade of blue, and the only rush is deciding whether to nap by the beach or order another rum punch. For years, the Four Seasons Resort Nevis has been the go-to for travelers who want their luxury served up low-key: a beachfront escape that delivers white-glove service without the spectacle. But now, that experience is evolving in a way that goes beyond the occasional vacation stay. The newly launched Nevis Peak Residences—52 one- to four-bedroom residences tucked into four buildings on the resort's expansive grounds—invite guests to become residents, either part-time or full. The kitchen at a residence. Rising at the base of the island's namesake volcanic peak, the homes embrace everything the Four Seasons does well: privacy, elegance, and design that makes you feel as if the indoors and outdoors are part of one effortless, barefoot-chic experience. Interiors by London-based Ward & Co lean into tactile luxury—linen, wood, stone, and light—with expansive verandas and sliding glass walls that keep Nevis's lush landscape firmly in view. Still, the appeal isn't just in the aesthetics. Homeowners get full access to the resort's amenities—three pools, incredible spa treatments, tennis courts, and a golf course with ocean views that rival any you'll find in the Caribbean. There's a residents-only clubhouse too, where you'll find everything from concierge services to private events. And should you ever want to leave (spoiler: you might not), St. Kitts is just a short boat ride away. But perhaps the most compelling layer are the global implications of calling this place home. As Dan Merriam, a Caribbean Real Estate Advisor with St. Kitts & Nevis Sotheby's International Realty, explains, "A growing number of buyers are choosing the Four Seasons Nevis Residences not only for the lifestyle but because ownership qualifies them for second citizenship through the St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program. Merriam continues, "These residences offer a direct route to citizenship in St. Kitts & Nevis, which is home to the Caribbean's longest-standing and most established CBI program. In today's climate of political tension, rising taxes and global uncertainty, Americans and Canadians have emerged as the fastest-growing cohort of CBI applicants. For many, a second citizenship is no longer just a convenience--it's a form of insurance." It's easy to see why. The CBI program in St. Kitts & Nevis is the oldest and most respected in the region, offering visa-free access to over 150 countries. With political and financial turbulence growing in parts of North America and Europe, the concept of 'passport insurance' is no longer far-fetched. Still, what sets Nevis Peak Residences apart is their emotional pull. These aren't cold, corporate investments dressed in resort wear. They're homes designed to feel like havens—where you can unplug without disconnecting, where luxury is quiet, and where life unfolds at a slower, more intentional rhythm. And in a region where overdevelopment has become synonymous with high-end living, Nevis offers a refreshingly different narrative. No cruise ports. No mega-hotels. Just a palm-fringed coastline and a community that still waves hello. In short, the Four Seasons Nevis Peak Residences aren't just smart real estate—they're a chance to stake a claim in one of the Caribbean's last truly soulful places. For those who've been coming to Nevis for years, this feels like a natural next chapter. And for those discovering the island for the first time, it may just be love at first view.

It's episode five of I Kissed A Boy and there's a surprise birthday party being held in the Masseria. But the only thing missing is the birthday boy himself! Enter Alex, the final boy to join this year's Masseria... Alex Age: 28 From: Nevis, Caribbean Occupation: Physio "Viewers should expect to cry! Expect to laugh! And if you watched Season one or loved I Kissed a Girl… Strap in, because we're stepping it the hell up." After being single for almost three years, Alex wants to find a meaningful connection with someone who can give him butterflies. When Alex's family moved from the UK to Nevis in the Caribbean, Alex says he had no exposure to gay culture and at that time as it was still illegal to be gay on the island. It wasn't until he was 14 years of age, that Alex even considered his sexuality. Alex has a visible physical impairment on his left hand after a traumatic lawn mower accident that left him having pioneering surgery aged two. He was the first person in the UK to have a toe to hand transplant. HRH Queen Elizabeth II even sent his family a letter acknowledging his contribution to British medicine. Although Alex still has some personal insecurity about how his hand and foot look, when it comes to boys, he doesn't allow his differences to hold him back. And on meeting Dannii Minogue Alex says, 'Dannii was incredible. So gorgeous, obviously. But more than that, she genuinely cares about us. She's such a laugh and just the sweetest person.'

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus 'to take huge next step in their relationship' after their shock romance was revealed

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus are reportedly set to take a huge next step in their relationship - after their shock romance was revealed last month. The couple caught their fans off guard when they revealed they were together, sharing a sexy snap on Easter day and have been flaunting their happy relationship ever since. And now it has been reported they are taking things up a notch even further with Billy, 63, planning a huge surprise trip for her upcoming 60th birthday. The Sun claims he is organising a trip to the Caribbean island of Nevis along with a private jet and red roses as a gift. A source told the publication: 'Billy is besotted with Liz. He can't believe this chance he's been given and he's throwing everything at it, including this very expensive birthday trip to the Caribbean. 'He thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world and feels incredibly lucky. 'He spoils her rotten with gifts but mostly they just enjoy hanging out, listening to records and making each other laugh.' An insider added that marriage could even be on the cards. Representatives for Billy and Elizabeth have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Elizabeth shocked fans in recent weeks when her romance with the country music star was made public with a cosy Instagram post. She has since revealed the true depth of her feelings for new boyfriend Billy, sharing a very loved-up snap of them packing on the PDA to Instagram on Wednesday. And the model revealed it's true love as she took to the comments sharing a black heart emoji before writing 'you xx'. And Elizabeth has the full support of her son as Damian also commented on the snap as he penned: 'Awwww ❤️.' Their unexpected romance comes just over two years after the pair fatefully met on the set of their 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise, which was shot in the Caribbean. Last week, Billy Ray broke his silence over his new relationship while appearing on Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show. The Achy Breaky Heart crooner, who finalized his divorce from ex Firerose in August 2024, revealed Elizabeth reached out during a difficult period in his life. 'I felt like, ''Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?'' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you,' he said. 'And in this moment... a friend reached out.' According to Billy, Elizabeth's message read something along the lines of: ''Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner; you've got a friend in your corner''.' Upon getting her text, the father-of-five admitted he 'didn't even know the number'. He shared: 'So, I text back, I go, ''Who is this?'' And it's like, ''Elizabeth Hurley.'' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh.' Although they hadn't spoken in 'two years' after wrapping their holiday film, Billy instantly remembered 'there was a chemistry' between them on set during their 'very few scenes together'. 'We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot,' he noted. 'The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.' Christmas in Paradise was shot in the Caribbean, and was filmed not long after he separated from ex-wife Tish in April 2022 after 28 years of marriage. He went on to have a short-lived relationship with Firerose but he filed for divorce in May 2024 after seven months of marriage. The friendship seemed to turn into something more after the Strictly Confidential star reached out to her former co-star after his divorce from ex Firerose in 2024. In early April, Hurley dropped a big clue about the romance when she uploaded a reel of herself on Instagram frolicking on the beach with Cyrus's 'She's Not Cryin' Anymore playing beneath it and tagging the singer.
