Valley View Vista Retreat — Milliken Estate, St. Kitts Some places have a view. This one has a story. Your home for this stay sits on Milliken Estate — a 300-year-old former sugar plantation on the slopes of Monkey Hill, named for the green monkeys that have roamed these hillsides for centuries. The same monkeys your guests on cruise ships pay to come and see. The same trail those cruise excursions follow to reach Sofa Stone. This is one of St. Kitts' most beloved attractions begins right here, on this land. You won't be visiting this place. You'll be living in it. The Apartment At 1,500 sq. ft., this is one of the most spacious one-bedroom retreats on the island. Expansive living and dining areas, a large fully equipped kitchen, and a private balcony with open valley views give you the kind of room to breathe that most Caribbean rentals simply don't offer. This is a home you settle into...not a room you pass through. The Estate Step outside and the history is alive around you. Wild green monkeys make their morning foraging run through the hillside. Birds you won't hear anywhere else fill the air. Fresh mangoes, wax apples, coconuts and bananas grow on the property — help yourself. We have an assortment of teas as well, except, these are growing just outside of your door. Consistently highly rated by our guests — come experience the difference for yourself.

It is genuinely one of the most beautiful natural spectacles on the island, and most tourists never see it.
