Yoga enthusiasts . . . get ready for top-level instruction in a truly spectacular setting! You’ll stay in one of the Caribbean’s finest, Hermitage Plantation, located 800 feet above the Caribbean Sea on the island of Nevis. Besides yoga, our week features outstanding dining experiences, recreational activities, and cultural excursions, to provide a comprehensive and captivating island experience.

This sample itinerary is designed for small groups with some previous experience with yoga. It is flexible and may be custom tailored to the needs of the individual.

Most activities described in the itinerary below will be offered, but exact dates and times may vary.

Day One

Afternoon arrival at Nevis Island. We’ll settle into our rooms amid lush tropical gardens at the Hermitage Plantation, and enjoy cocktails and a welcome dinner prepared by the skilled chefs at this exceptional island restaurant. You’ll have the evening free to get to know your fellow Adventurers!

Day Two

Wake up your body and mind with our early morning yoga class. Class locations will vary: beach, verandah, poolside, etc. We’ll enjoy a Hermitage specialty, the Full Planters Breakfast (think fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juices, Nevis eggs, homemade muesli, breakfast breads, and more), and then take a three-hour hike through Nevis’s legendary rain forest. Gourmet lunch is at a lovely sugar plantation in the hills. Spend the afternoon as you like then we will regroup for cocktails and dinner at Hermitage Plantation.

Day Three

We’ll start the day with yoga, wind down with breakfast on the verandah, and then gear up for back road mountain biking. After exploring remote ruins, villages and vistas not accessible by car, we’ll be ready for a relaxing lunch at a beachside restaurant. Enjoy free time until yoga class at 4:30 p.m., then dine on native cuisine at one of our favorite local beach bars.

Day Four

After our usual early morning yoga class and breakfast, prepare to relax for the remainder of the day as we embark on a leisurely cultural tour of some of the island’s historic villages, estates and plantations. An afternoon catamaran cruise to a bay off St. Kitts includes snorkeling and sailing. There’s no afternoon yoga class today – but we’ll gather for another great dinner from our chefs at Hermitage Plantation.

Day Five

Here’s your opportunity to create the perfect “Day on Nevis” for yourself! We begin with yoga and breakfast, then we’ll help you schedule whatever activity piques your interest: a windsurfing or sailing lesson, a visit to Nevis’s renowned Botanical Gardens, a massage, or a trip into town. After unwinding at our afternoon yoga class, we’ll dine at Montpelier Plantation Inn.

Day Six

After yoga and breakfast we’ll have the option to either horseback ride thru unspoiled, remote country that affords beautiful vistas of Nevis and beyond OR kayak along the picturesque coastline of Nevis with stops to snorkel and soak our feet in natural hot springs. We’ll have a gourmet lunch at a plantation inn, and then enjoy some unscheduled time before our afternoon yoga class. Dinner will be at a top Nevis eatery known for its fresh fish, salads and native dishes.

Day Seven

Your last full day in paradise begins with a three-hour trek up spectacular Nevis Peak. We cap off the hike with a tranquil and rejuvenating lunch on the beach. The remainder of the day includes downtime for relaxation and a final optional late-afternoon yoga class. Our last evening together ends with a farewell Grand Finale Dinner during which we can share our reflections, thoughts and trip experiences.

Day Eight

We bid our fellow Adventurers good-bye as we depart for home... with a suitcase full of great memories!

About Yoga

Jim Kulackoski, your instructor for the week, has over 15 years experience of yoga practice, meditation and teaching. He combines several methods of yoga including those of BKS Iyengar, Sivananda and Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga) with several eastern systems of
meditation and Qi Gong. Through careful attention to precision a meditative awareness and physical integration are achieved. Classes range from a more rigorous Vinyasa flow - a continuous flow from one pose to the next, to a gentler restorative practice - designed to release tension and restore the whole physiology. Poses are adaptable for all body types and states of mind. The end result is always the same - physical and mental bliss.

About Hermitage Plantation

This plantation inn features picturesque, historic Caribbean cottages circling an old Great House, the social center of the plantation furnished with antiques and a library. Dining at the renowned Hermitage restaurant is truly an event, with most creations prepared using fresh local products and classic international recipes. Most dishes utilize the high quality ingredients produced on the plantation, including home-grown pork, lamb, fruit and herbs. Local fishermen supply the fresh fish, conch and lobster.

The private cottages at The Hermitage offer a variety of sleeping
accommodations, from twin beds to king beds, and are complemented by a crystal-clear freshwater pool, sun terrace and landscaped gardens.
