Nevis: The Island

The Medical University of the Americas campus is located on Nevis, one of the most historic and beautiful islands in the Caribbean.

First inhabited thousands of years ago by Indian tribes--the Sibonay, Arawak and later the Carib--Nevis was "discovered" by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage and for years was at the center of the global trade in sugar cane.

Today, Nevis is a much desired destination for tourists who are seeking a more private, boutique experience in an environment that is extremely safe.

Nevis offers beautiful Caribbean beaches, snorkeling, diving, many restaurants and a wide range of accommodations--including inns that were once "great houses" in the sugar cane era. Just 200 miles southeast of Puerto Rico, Nevis is easy to get to via San Juan, Antigua, St. Maarten or St. Kitts.

Safe, easily reached and beautiful--you can't ask for much more.
