  Bloody Point

  We will visit Bloody Point, located near Challengers Village on St. Kitts’ western coast, a site steeped in early island history. This area marks the location of the 1626 Kalinago massacre, a violent confrontation in which European settlers crushed organized Kalinago resistance, securing lasting colonial control of the island.

Today, Bloody Point stands as a solemn reminder of the island’s turbulent beginnings and the resilience of its people.

  Caribelle Batik at Romney Manor

  We will visit Romney Manor, a historic estate in St. Kitts dating back to 1625, once owned by Samuel Jefferson II, an ancestor of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. Later renamed by the Earl of Romney, the estate holds a special place in island history—Lord Romney freed his enslaved workers here in 1834, making it the first such act on St. Kitts. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the manor is also home to one of the island’s oldest living trees, the magnificent Saman Tree, estimated to be over 400 years old. Today, Romney Manor houses Caribelle Batik, a local treasure where visitors can watch skilled artisans create intricate, hand-dyed fabrics using the traditional batik wax-resist technique.
