Fisherman's Village
Overwater ocean-to-table dining with front-row views of Nevis across The Narrows
Why Go
Perched on stilts above Banana Bay at Park Hyatt St. Kitts, this thatched-roof seafood hall looks straight back at Nevis Peak ΓÇö making it the rare restaurant where the view from your table is your own island.
The Experience
The dining room is a cluster of open-air wooden pavilions modeled on the fishing huts and berths that once lined the St. KittsΓÇôNevis coastline, with tables spilling out over the water and ceiling fans turning lazily above. Lunch is bare feet, rum punch, and the sound of the Caribbean lapping the pilings; dinner turns romantic once the sun drops behind Nevis Peak and the lanterns come on. The vibe is polished-casual ΓÇö Park Hyatt service without the stiffness ΓÇö and families, honeymooners, and day-trippers off the water taxi from Oualie all mingle happily.
What to Try
Start with the yellowfin tuna ceviche or the conch fritters, then move to whatever fish came off the boat that morning ΓÇö often snapper or mahi, usually offered whole and grilled with green seasoning. The Caribbean lobster (in season AugΓÇôApr) is the splurge move, and the scallop crudo is a consistent standout. Wash it down with a Ting-and-Brinley or the house rum punch, and save room for the coconut-rum bread pudding.
Insider Tip
From Nevis, skip the long drive around Frigate Bay and book the Park Hyatt's private water shuttle from Oualie Beach ΓÇö it's a 10-minute crossing straight to the resort dock, and if you time it for a late lunch (around 2 pm) you'll catch the golden hour on the way home with Nevis Peak lit up pink. Request a table on the far end of the deck for the clearest sightline back to Charlestown.
The Practical Stuff
Located at Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Banana Bay, Christophe Harbour, South East Peninsula — about a 10-minute water-taxi ride or 45-minute drive-plus-ferry from Charlestown, Nevis. Open daily for lunch (roughly noon–3 pm) and dinner (6–10 pm); reservations strongly recommended for dinner, especially in high season (Dec–Apr). Price range is upscale ($$$–$$$$): expect around US$25–40 for lunch mains and US$45–75+ for dinner entrées. Resort-casual dress; cover-ups required at dinner.
