Rawlins Plantation Inn

Daily life at Rawlins is easy and simple -- full of uncontrived delights and pleasures. Walking the coconut groves and meadows above Rawlins. Ambling through the gardens of mango, papaya, banana, soursop, passion fruit, avocado, breadfruit and lime. Slumbering in an arbor hammock with the cool tradewind breezes. Admiring the antics of egrets, humming-birds, doves and kingbirds. Sipping rum punch and watching the gently swaying sea of sugar cane. Or simply reading that long-saved book and cherishing precious time with your partner. The more energetic might exercise in the pool or play a few sets of tennis, and when the time is right, rent a car to discover the sights and beaches of St. Kitts.

The ambience of this unspoilt enclave is of peace and tranquility. The air is clean and pristine. There is freshness of life here that takes one back to how things used to be. The service is old world too, the staff are smiling and couteous. You'll feel mellow within hours, you'll melt into the bosom of Rawlins and you just wont want to leave.
