Travel plug Saint Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳

Do you need a travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis?

Yes, in almost all cases.

Saint Kitts and Nevis uses four plug types side by side:

• Type A: two flat parallel pins, the same type as in the US
• Type B: two flat pins plus a round earth pin, also the same as in the US
• Type D: three round pins in a triangular shape, the older British colonial type
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape, the modern British type

Due to both the British colonial history and the American influence, you will come across all of these types mixed together. In modern hotels and resorts you more often find type G, in older accommodations type D, and in resorts geared towards the American market often type A and B.

A travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis is essential when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in resorts, hotels or holiday villas
• take a round trip across both islands
• want to avoid having no power on arrival

Which socket type does Saint Kitts and Nevis have?

Saint Kitts and Nevis uses four plug types:

• Type A: two flat parallel pins, ungrounded. The same type as in the US
• Type B: two flat pins with earth pin. In modern American style
• Type D: three large round pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in India and older British territories
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in the UK

Type G has become increasingly dominant in modern accommodations. In Basseterre, at Frigate Bay and in modern resorts you can usually count on type G. In older accommodations and in remote places the other types are more often found.

Which travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis is best?

Because of the mix of four plug types, a universal travel adapter is by far the smartest choice.

For a one-off trip to Saint Kitts and Nevis you could theoretically travel with several separate adapters, but that is cumbersome and you never know exactly which one you need. A universal travel adapter covers all four types in one device.

The Remodius Universal Travel Adapter includes a special Type D plug slider and works in Saint Kitts and Nevis and in 220+ other countries, with multiple USB ports so you can charge your phone, laptop and camera at the same time.

When choosing a travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis, look for:

• support for multiple plug types (A, B, D and G)
• sturdy and grounded housing
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• compact size for hand luggage or beach bag
• enough power for laptops and larger appliances

Power and voltage in Saint Kitts and Nevis

The power supply in Saint Kitts and Nevis differs slightly from that in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch appliances: usually yes

The voltage is the same as in the Netherlands (230V), so you do not need a converter for that. The frequency is different though: 60 Hz versus 50 Hz in the Netherlands.

For modern devices such as phones, laptops, cameras and power banks this makes no difference. They work on a wide range (100-240V, 50-60Hz). To be safe, check the small label on your charger. Devices with a motor or clock (older hair dryers, shavers, electric clocks) can be more sensitive to the frequency difference.

When is a travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis indispensable?

An adapter is indispensable in Saint Kitts and Nevis when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• hair dryers and straighteners
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you combine your holiday with snorkelling, diving or day trips to Mount Liamuiga or the sister island of Nevis, a reliable universal travel adapter is handy to keep all your equipment charged at all times.
