As Hurricane Melissa continues to gain strength across the Caribbean, the Government of St Kitts and Nevis has successfully coordinated the evacuation of nationals studying in Jamaica — a move widely praised for its speed, organisation, and care.

A chartered flight carrying twenty-seven students departed Kingston on Saturday evening, routing through Turks and Caicos before arriving safely in St Kitts on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Nevis is about to get a major glow-up on international TV — and fans are already buzzing. The new season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” has officially landed on the island, with the ladies bringing their signature drama, style, and flair to some of Nevis’ most beloved hangout spots.

Viewers in the US can tune in Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock TV. But for those lucky enough to be in Nevis, the watch parties are where the real fun begins.

A claim circulating online that the Government could face a US$23 billion penalty if the Destiny project were cancelled has been thoroughly reviewed - and it simply does not hold up.

Independent analysis of the claim shows no legal, financial, or contractual basis for such a figure. There is no evidence of any agreement that could make the island liable for a penalty of that scale.

Nevisian businesswoman Shobaina Prince, founder of Native Radiance, has taken home the top honour at the Entrepreneurial Elite Pitch Competition, securing a US$3,000 grant under the Women’s Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Financial Inclusion (WEEEFI) Project — part of the Taiwan ICDF Sustainable Island State Programme.

The event, held at the Nevis Performing Arts Center (NEPAC), saw six talented women from across the Federation pitch their business ideas in a live competition designed to reward innovation, sustainability, and social impact. Each contestant had five minutes to present her business model and answer questions from a panel of judges.

A major milestone for St Kitts and Nevis tourism was marked today as the world’s largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean International’s Star of the Seas, made its inaugural call at Port Zante, welcomed by government officials, cruise executives, and tourism leaders in a formal plaque exchange ceremony.

The event brought together Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew, Tourism Minister Marsha T. Henderson, members of Cabinet, and senior officials from the Royal Caribbean Group, alongside representatives from the Ministry of Tourism, the St Kitts Tourism Authority, the St Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority, and Delisle Walwyn & Co. Ltd.

The Destiny Special Sustainability Zone (SSZ) has officially gone live, and the response has been nothing short of explosive. According to Times Caribbean Online, the project’s first 24 hours saw more than 200 job registrations, over 100 local companies, and nearly 100 scholarship inquiries — a level of public engagement rarely seen in Nevisian development projects.

A respected Nevisian and U.S. Air Force veteran has added his voice to the growing chorus supporting the Destiny Project, describing it as the most significant opportunity for the island in a generation — and declaring that he chooses to be “on the right side of history.”

In a detailed public statement titled “Nevisians, let’s seize the moment,” Micahail L. A. Herbert, MBA, urged fellow citizens to move beyond politics and seize what he calls a “transformative moment” for Nevis.

The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) has issued a sharp reminder to the public after a person dressed as a “ghost nun” was spotted walking through neighbourhoods — and even entering a primary school — in what many assumed was an early Halloween prank.

The Force confirmed that while the incident may have been meant as a joke, it caused public alarm and broke local law.

A massive fire has left two of St Kitts’ most beloved nightlife spots in ruins, after Zanzi Bar and Cathy’s Bar were completely destroyed in an early morning blaze along the Frigate Bay Strip.

According to the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, the fire broke out between midnight and 12:30 a.m. on October 21, rapidly spreading through both establishments before firefighters could bring it under control.

The southern coast of Nevis could soon look very different. Entrepreneur and long-time Nevis resident Olivier Janssens has unveiled “Destiny”, a billion-dollar sustainable development project that promises to create jobs, attract investment, and position Nevis as a model for the modern Caribbean economy.

Speaking to residents at a recent presentation, Janssens laid out what he described as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Nevis to become “the first country in the Caribbean to create a modern zone of this kind — one that uplifts its people and becomes one of the most desirable regions in the world.”

After days of public frustration and online backlash over new speed limit enforcement in St Kitts and Nevis, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) has issued a major clarification — voiding more than one hundred speeding tickets issued under the new photo radar system and promising better public communication moving forward.

The clarification, posted on the Force’s official Facebook page under the heading “PUBLIC CLARIFICATION: SPEED MONITORING & PHOTO RADAR ENFORCEMENT”, acknowledged that the rollout of radar cameras across Old Road Bay and Frigate Bay “could have been clearer” and that public confusion about limits, signage and technology was legitimate.

A heated debate has erupted across St Kitts and Nevis this week over the Federation’s speed limits, with social media flooded by complaints, confusion, and calls for reform. The controversy comes as the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) begins stricter enforcement under the updated Vehicles and Road Traffic (Amendment) Act 2025, which has effectively doubled fines for speeding and introduced automated camera enforcement.

According to the new regulations, the fine for exceeding the speed limit has increased from $2,000 to $4,000, and police are now authorised to use camera and sensor systems to capture speeding vehicles. Even more controversially, vehicle owners can now be held liable if the driver cannot be identified from video or photo evidence.

The fields in St Kitts are starting to tell a new story — one of growth, export, and quiet transformation. Agriculture officials say the island is steadily shifting from feeding itself to feeding others, as local crops like watermelon, banana, and plantain move beyond domestic markets and into regional trade.

According to Minister of Agriculture Samal Duggins, the progress is tangible. “We have produced more watermelons than we consume, and we have been exporting,” he said, noting that it’s not just about surplus but about scaling up the island’s potential as an exporter.

It’s been hard to miss — Destiny is everywhere. From news articles to social posts, the St. Kitts–Nevis Times and Times Caribbean Online have both been featuring the project prominently in recent days. But what’s interesting isn’t just that they’re covering it — it’s how they’re doing it.

Both outlets, which have in the past carried strong opinions from Destiny’s critics, are now publishing more balanced stories that highlight the project’s potential benefits. The SKN Times recently posted a call for locals and businesses to register via the Destiny website, showcasing the opportunities emerging around the new Special Sustainability Zone.

The IMF is forecasting moderate growth for St. Kitts and Nevis — 1.7% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026 — slightly below 2024’s pace. While the islands face global headwinds, the projections show resilience, so long as policy, investment, and sustainability move in tandem.

Jason Holder delivered a masterclass with both bat and ball to help the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots end their losing streak in the CPL. His 38 runs and four wickets powered the team to a 12-run victory over the Barbados Royals — a performance that reminded fans why Holder remains one of the region’s most complete players.

St Kitts is getting a stylish new addition with The Wedge Boutique Hotel — an 18-suite, smart-tech property rising in Frigate Bay and set to open in February 2027. Designed for modern travellers who want comfort with a local touch, The Wedge will feature full kitchens, a rooftop bar, and ground-floor cafés and boutiques — blending innovation, lifestyle, and island charm.

Nevisians across the island are tuning in tonight at 8 p.m. for On The Mark, eager to hear more about Destiny - the landmark project promising new jobs, major infrastructure upgrades, and a $1 million scholarship fund for local youth. With interest growing fast and sign-ups rolling in at Destiny.com, the island’s excitement is turning into real momentum.

St Kitts is breathing new life into its past. The historic Fort Thomas site will be transformed into a heritage and cultural hub featuring a Caribbean Museum of History and an International Museum — projects designed not just to attract tourists, but to reclaim and celebrate regional identity. With foreign direct investment backing and promises of local participation, the revival could mark a turning point in how St Kitts presents its story to the world.

Momentum around Destiny keeps growing as Nevisians take to social media to talk about the project’s 5% community profit share and $1 million scholarship fund. Many are calling it a real step toward shared ownership and opportunity - a chance for locals to benefit directly from investment on their own island.
