Palm Garden Nevis, the six-acre private estate renowned for its rare palm collection, historic heritage spaces, and elevated Caribbean experiences, proudly announces the completion of a major solar infrastructure project that enables the estate to operate on 100% clean, renewable energy.
This milestone marks a significant investment in the estate’s long-term sustainability and operational independence. The system includes a comprehensive network of solar panels paired with advanced battery storage, allowing Palm Garden Nevis to generate, store, and efficiently manage its own energy supply throughout the day and evening. By reducing reliance on traditional energy sources, the estate significantly lowers its environmental footprint while ensuring uninterrupted power across guest accommodations, event spaces, and core operations. This transition positions Palm Garden Nevis as one of the few privately owned estates in the Caribbean operating entirely on renewable energy
“We saw an opportunity to invest in something that not only enhances the guest experience but also contributes meaningfully to the future of Nevis,” said Joseph Katsman, Chief Operating Officer of Palm Garden Nevis. “Transitioning to full solar energy allows us to operate more responsibly while maintaining the level of comfort and quality our guests expect. It’s about creating a model where luxury and sustainability coexist seamlessly.”
The estate also announced the launch of construction for Bar 29, an innovative rum destination that will showcase exceptional rums from twenty-nine rum-producing countries surrounding the Caribbean Sea. Designed as both a social hub and cultural experience, Bar 29 celebrates the diversity of Caribbean rum, with each country offering its own interpretation shaped by climate, geography, and tradition. The concept invites guests to explore the region’s collective rum heritage through curated tastings and guided experiences, creating an engaging and educational journey into one of the Caribbean’s most iconic exports.
“The evolution of properties like Palm Garden Nevis reflects exactly where our destination is headed,” said Andia Ravariere, CEO of the Nevis Tourism Authority. “We are focused on low-density, high-impact development that prioritizes true sustainability, authenticity, and meaningful guest experiences. Investments like this not only enhance our product offering, but also strengthen Nevis’ position as a leader in sustainable, bespoke Caribbean travel.”
Sustainability remains central to the Palm Garden Nevis philosophy. The new solar installation allows the estate to power its operations entirely through renewable energy, reinforcing its commitment to environmentally responsible luxury hospitality.
Alongside its sustainability initiatives, the estate’s signature Palm Collection remains a defining element of the guest experience. Palm Garden Nevis is home to a remarkable living botanical collection featuring 108 species of palms and 39 unique tree varieties sourced from around the world.
