Nevis /ˈniːvɪs/ is a small island in the Caribbean Sea that forms part of the inner arc of the Leeward Islands chain of the West Indies . Nevis and the neighbouring island of Saint Kitts constitute one country : the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis .

Nevis is roughly conical in shape with a volcano known as Nevis Peak at its centre . The island is fringed on its western and northern coastlines by sandy beaches which are composed of a mixture of white coral sand with brown and black sand which is eroded and washed down from the volcanic rocks that make up the island . The gently-sloping coastal plain ( 1 km ( 0.62 mi ) wide ) has natural freshwater springs as well as non-potable volcanic hot springs , especially along the western coast . The island was named Oualie ( Land of Beautiful Waters ) by the Caribs and Dulcina ( Sweet Island ) by the early British settlers . The name Nevis is derived from the Spanish Nuestra Señora de las Nieves ( which means Our Lady of the Snows ) ; the name first appears on maps in the 16th century . Nevis is also known by the sobriquet Queen of the Caribees , which it earned in the 18th century when its sugar plantations created much wealth for the British .
