Basseterre, St. Kitts (04 June 2026) — The St. Kitts Tourism Authority (SKTA) is proud to announce the launch of the St. Kitts Escape Experience — SEE 2026, a destination-wide staycation initiative designed to encourage residents of St. Kitts to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the hospitality that their island has to offer. From luxury resorts to beachside retreats, SEE 2026 brings together some of the finest properties on the island under one umbrella of unbeatable local rates, exclusive perks, and authentic Kittitian experiences.
Whether you’ve been meaning to treat yourself, celebrate a milestone, or simply press pause on the everyday routine, SEE 2026 gives you every reason to say yes to a staycation this summer and beyond.
“St. Kitts has always been a destination that captivates the world, but sometimes those closest to home are the last to fully experience what’s right on their doorstep. SEE 2026 is our invitation to every Kittitian and resident of the destination to slow down, indulge, and fall in love with this island all over again. Our hotel partners have crafted exceptional offers just for you, and we couldn’t be more excited to sharing it with you.”
