Mark your calendars! On March 3, the first total lunar eclipse in four years will take to the skies, turning the moon a dramatic shade of crimson as it passes fully into Earth’s shadow. Also called a “blood moon” this natural phenomenon is a sight to behold, and for any travellers in the Caribbean, this is the perfect time to take advantage of an extraordinary viewing experience at Park Hyatt St. Kitts.
Guests at the resort can experience the celestial spectacle from the shores of the South East Peninsula — one of the island’s most favorable dark-sky vantage points for observing the moon and stars. The property also offers a unique stargazing experience (available to book on March 3rd!) led by local astronomer Percival Hanley. A born-and-raised Kittitian, Percival is the manager of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Brimstone Hill Fortress by day and a lifelong astronomy enthusiast by night, sharing his passion for the cosmos (first sparked by decades of reading National Geographic) with guests through private telescope-led sessions under the stars.
With clear Caribbean skies and expert guidance, the evening transforms into more than just eclipse viewing — it’s an immersive, destination-driven moment travelers won’t soon forget.
