00:00 Throughout her life, Princess Diana went on numerous royal visits around the globe.
00:06 She also enjoyed the privacy of a tropical getaway.
00:09 The former Princess of Wales occasionally sought solace in the Caribbean, particularly
00:14 on the island of Nevis during the colder months.
00:17 A two-mile canal divides Nevis, a little island in the Caribbean Sea, from Skits, a lively island.
00:25 The site, which is known for being remote, is a portion of the West Indies inner arc
00:30 of the Leeward Islands chain.
00:32 Nevis has long been a favorite of the royal family and is renowned for its aristocratic connections,
00:37 despite being somewhat of a hidden gem among the hundreds of Caribbean islands.
00:42 Along with her kids Prince William and Prince Harry, Princess Diana was just one royal who
00:48 made the picturesque stop in December 1992, and it's simple to understand why.
00:54 One traveler even went so far as to call the island the best of 26 Caribbean destinations
00:59 they had visited.
01:01 Visitors have complimented the island for its natural beauty and distinctive culture.
01:06 Nigel Tisdall, a travel expert, stated in a piece for The Telegraph that he had the
01:11 good fortune to visit 26 of these tropical getaways over numerous trips over the previous
01:16 25 years.
01:18 Tisdall added that every winter, as soon as the first cold snap hits, he is frequently
01:23 asked where to go.
01:25 My favorite island, though?
01:26 That's a completely different pot of fish stew, and after consuming copious quantities
01:31 of rum punches in remote beach bars from the Bahamas to Tobago, I can confidently say that
01:36 Nevis is the answer.
01:38 He'd asserted that there are several reasons why the sheer beauty of this rainforest-wrapped
01:43 volcanic isle cannot be topped.
01:45 Nevis is blissfully devoid of brash, all-inclusive resorts, and the surrounding area is also
01:51 quite beautiful.
01:53 The island has a distinctive topography, with Nevis Peak, a 3,232-foot summit, at the center
02:01 of the sombrero-shaped structure.
02:03 In particular, the Montpelier Plantation, where Princess Diana infamously sought relief
02:09 just five years before her death, is one of the historical plantations that enriches the
02:14 local culture and has strong ties to the present royal family.
02:18 Nigel claims that the late Princess of Wales hid away at the plantation, which is now a
02:24 dignified country house hotel in the hills.
02:28 Naturally, the ocean is one of Nevis's main draws, and Diana took use of it while she
02:33 was there for Christmas.
02:35 The late princess was photographed in January 1993 enjoying the surf in a vivid orange bikini
02:41 while riding a booby board.
02:43 The immersive beach experience, private fishing and boat excursions, and catamaran visits
02:49 to street kits are among the further island attractions.
02:53 According to the travel expert, the island is home to a wide variety of independently-owned
02:58 places that are worth seeing, as well as numerous genuine Georgian architecture and regional food.
03:04 But the true draw is doing nothing but reading in a hammock or lounging in beach bars while
03:09 eating grilled fish and drinking cocktails that will knock you out, he continued.
