p>Named Dulcina, or “Sweet Island,” by early British Settlers, Nevis remains an intimate Caribbean island where relaxation is the rule and beauty is abundant. With the regal heights of Nevis Peak to the depths of the clear blue Caribbean, this secluded island is an amazing setting for tying the knot or even renewing your vows. Ultimate Escapes Members, Larry & Gaile Shaia, decided to renew their vows in this intimate setting in 2008.

“Nevis is a breathtakingly beautiful island that’s remote and undisturbed. It’s a quiet paradise perfect for relaxation and peace. Its pristine coastline and amazing blue ocean offers food for the soul,” explained Larry Shaia after his family arrived home from their unforgettable vacation.


Gaile, expecting just another relaxing vacation with her family, was overwhelmed with joy when Larry surprised her with an intimate vow renewal ceremony. With months of planning with his Escape Planner and over 50 Ultimate Escapes destinations to choose from, Larry was thrilled with his selection of Nevis for this special vacation. The staff went above and beyond to make this special moment a true-life fairytale in paradise. They built an altar made of palms and tropical flowers, laced the sand with flower petals and presented Mrs Shaia with a flower wreath for her hair.


“It was truly perfection. Junior played the drums, and Paulette prepared the most delicious five-course meal right in our home. The staff even took pictures for us. I am especially grateful for the beautiful photos. Our Nevis vacation was one of the best vacations of my life, and I wouldn’t trade that experience or those memories for anything. I look forward to returning to this natural paradise one day again soon,” said Larry.
