Description

THE PROPERTY

BANANAS — a rare opportunity to own one of the Caribbean’s most iconic and recognized hospitality properties.

An established business with land, buildings, brand reputation, and a loyal international clientele, all offered turnkey and ready for new ownership.

Set high in the historic Hamilton Estate, Bananas occupies more than an acre of lush tropical gardens with sweeping views of Nevis Peak and the Caribbean Sea.

The main building is a traditional Caribbean chattel house with wrap-around verandas, a rooftop deck, bar, and boutique — all surrounded by flowering trees and palms that create an authentic island atmosphere.

THE BUSINESS

Bananas is the best destination restaurant on Nevis — no visit to the island should miss it.

Operating since 1998, Bananas serves lunch and dinner five to seven nights a week, depending on season, to a steady following of locals, expatriates, and visitors from around the world.

With an outstanding reputation for creativity, quality, and service, Bananas has twice been featured among USA Today’s “Top 20 Restaurants in the Caribbean.”

There is significant opportunity to further expand the business, from special events and weddings to brand extensions and hospitality experiences.

THE EXPERIENCE

Dining at Bananas feels like being in a Caribbean treehouse — open air, candlelit verandas, and the relaxed rhythm of island life.

The Greenheart rooftop deck, added in 2023, offers panoramic sunset views, making it a favorite cocktail spot for both locals and visitors.

Guests enjoy a fabulous menu, creative drinks, and even signature rum tastings, making Bananas one of Nevis’s most beloved dining experiences.

THE BOUTIQUE

A stylish boutique welcomes guests at the entrance, popular with both daytime visitors and evening diners.

It offers an additional income stream and excellent potential to expand into a gallery, lifestyle retail, or branded concept store — adding further dimension to the property’s appeal.

OWNERS & GUEST COTTAGES

The sale includes all land, buildings, furnishings, kitchen and bar equipment, inventory, and generator — everything needed for immediate operation.

Also included are an Owner’s Cottage, Guest Cottage, Office, and the boutique retail space — making this a fully operational, turnkey hospitality property.

FUTURE POTENTIAL

An adjoining one-third-acre parcel, with its own title, is included in the sale.

This additional land offers flexibility for future development — ideal for adding villas, a wellness pavilion, or guest cottages, further enhancing both the value and versatility of this exceptional estate.
