The King's Paradise

Our Story

A connection that began long ago

Some Places You Visit. Others Become Part of Who You Are.

Our love for St. Kitts began many years ago when Heidi arrived on the island as a Peace Corps Volunteer. What started as an opportunity to serve became something much more: lifelong friendships, an extended island family, and a connection to this beautiful place that has continued across generations.

Dieppe Bay, a small fishing village on the northern coast of St. Kitts, holds a particularly special place in our hearts. Here, life moves at its own pace, familiar faces greet one another, and the rhythms of village life are as much a part of the experience as the ocean and the sunsets.

Over the years, we've returned again and again—not simply for the beauty of the island, but for the people who make it feel like home.

The People Who Make It Special

The greatest treasures of St. Kitts aren't things you can pack in a suitcase.

They're the friendships that endure across decades, the familiar faces that welcome you back, and the generosity and warmth of the people who call this island home.

We've been fortunate to share countless moments with friends, neighbors, and family in Dieppe Bay. Weddings, celebrations, quiet conversations, and ordinary days have become cherished memories.

Some of our returning guests have discovered that same sense of connection, forming their own friendships and returning year after year. A few have even fallen so deeply in love with Dieppe Bay that they've become neighbors themselves!

It's these relationships, and the simple pleasures of island life, that make this little corner of St. Kitts so special to us.

Your Paradise, Your Way

Your Paradise, Your Way

Nestled beside the sea near the village of Dieppe Bay, The King's Paradise has been a gathering place for family, friends, and returning guests over the years.

We've shared laughter on the deck, watched spectacular sunsets, and enjoyed the simple pleasure of being together in a place we love.

Today, we're delighted to share that experience with others.

Perhaps you'll venture into the village, explore the island, and discover the warmth of its people. Or perhaps your idea of paradise is doing absolutely nothing—relaxing beside the pool, watching the waves, and enjoying the peace and privacy of your own oceanfront retreat.

There's no right way to experience The King's Paradise.

Your time here is yours to enjoy, at your own pace.

We hope your first visit will be the beginning of many wonderful memories.

With warm island wishes,

Heidi & Alan
