Bringing Scandinavian chic to the shores of Nevis, expat entrepreneurs Hedda and Christian “Chrishi” Wienpahl are the vivacious duo behind the effortlessly cool Chrishi Beach Club. The only place to be seen on the island and everyone’s favorite beach club on Nevis, rock up to this ocean-front hangout any time of the day or night and unwind to the sound of Hedda’s unique playlists that perfectly complement the stylish interiors of this upscale beach bar.
Order a champagne cocktail or a glass of rosé and indulge in something from the menu that boasts refined European classics and American favorites, (gluten-free options are also available). Lay out on the comfy sun-loungers that line the sand, or relax under the palm-thatched roof of the quirky “Love Shack + Bar”, wherever you find yourself you’ll have an unparalleled view of neighboring St. Kitts and the aquamarine ocean that laps gently at its shores.
Quick fire questions with owner Hedda Wienpahl
What would you recommend to first time diners?
Hedda says, “Our burgers are a stand-out favorite; you can choose from prime Angus beef, chicken fillet, or fresh fish and jazz it up with a range of classic flavor combinations. My guilty pleasure is one of our delicious salads; fresh lettuce, nuts, roasted peppers, artichoke, asparagus, and goat cheese, it’s divine!”
Tell me something interesting about yourself:
“I’m a very passionate person and I relish any opportunity to be creative. I love owning a restaurant and a development; it keeps me on my toes all the time. I like things to be tidy and clean, fresh and healthy, but I’m always ready for some fun!”
What is your favorite place or activity on Nevis?
“I love to be active when I have time. I love hiking Nevis Peak, and playing tennis and golf at the Four Seasons Resort. My favorite places for dinner and drinks are Indian Summer, Sunshine’s, and Turtle Time. I also love to visit the stylish Salt Plage in St. Kitts.”
