Rawlins
Plantation Inn (St.
Kitts; tel. 800/346-5358 in the U.S., or
869/465-6221): Surrounded by 5 hectares (12

shrubbery, and set on a panoramic hillock about
105m (344 ft.) above sea level, this hotel with
its rugs of locally woven rushes and carved
four-poster beds evokes a 19th-century plantation.
You'll be separated from the rest of the island
by hundreds of acres of sugar cane, and there
are few phones and no televisions.
