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]

The SIDF's purpose is to provide support to the government in its efforts to diversify the national economy of St. Kitts and Nevis and maintain economic stability, and to support, finance or undertake the development of new and existing industries, projects or enterprises. [4] [5]

In July 2013, the SIDF sold its stake to Swiss Entrepreneur Patrick Liotard-Vogt making Kittitian Hill a private company. [6] [7] The mission of the SIDF was successfully fulfilled allowing them to invest just a few months later in Christophe Harbor, [8] 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. [18]
