Bath, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Bath is a small village on the island of Nevis, in Saint Kitts and Nevis. it is located on the west or Caribbean coast of the island, just south of Charlestown, near the southernmost end of Gallows Bay.

The name of the village is derived from the fact that it is situated near a large volcanic hot spring, which has been used for healing therapeutic bathing for many centuries. During the 18th century, the Bath Hotel, an elegant hotel with a stone two-story bathhouse, was built near the hot spring source. The main building of the hotel has been recently restored, and is currently being used as government offices.
