History

Kittitian Hill was founded in 2006 by Val Kempadoo, a Trinidad-based entrepreneur and leader in sustainability. It was funded by the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF) in 2011. [3]

In July 2013, the SIDF sold its stake to Swiss Entrepreneur Patrick Liotard-Vogt making Kittitian Hill a private company. [4] [5] This allowed them to invest just a few months later in Christophe Harbor, [6] a marina project based in the south east peninsula.

Amenities and facilities

Kittitian Hill is composed of various hospitality components

The first hotel, Belle Mont Farm is scheduled to open its doors in December 2014 along with The Kitchen Restaurant, The Mill Bar and the Red Rum Bar. [16]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Monarchy of Saint Kitts and Nevis</span> Constitutional monarchy as a system of government in Saint Kitts and Nevis

The monarchy of Saint Kitts and Nevis is a system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign and head of state of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The current monarch of Saint Kitts and Nevis, since 8 September 2022, is King Charles III. As sovereign, he is the personal embodiment of the Crown of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Although the person of the sovereign is equally shared with 14 other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, each country's monarchy is separate and legally distinct. As a result, the current monarch is officially titled King of Saint Christopher and Nevis and, in this capacity, he and other members of the royal family undertake public and private functions domestically and abroad as representatives of Saint Kitts and Nevis. However, the King is the only member of the royal family with any constitutional role.
