Palms Court Gardens
Although the Palms Court Gardens in Basseterre are privately owned, they are open to visitors who,
for a small fee, can wander amidst the fragrant tropical plants and palm trees, admire the statues
strategically placed throughout the garden, or sit on a bench, reveling in the exquisite surroundings.
The use of their infinity pool is also possible for a small fee but book ahead as it can be quite busy
sometimes. In addition to the gardens and the pool, this is the home of Shell Works. Extraordinary
shell-jewelry are sold here and you may even witness your next souvenir being made, right before you.
A gift shop is also on site where you can purchase other locally-made gift items. With all of that, plus
sumptuous food on site, this is a great venue to spend a few hours or even an entire day.
