Avenue of the Palms, Nisbet Plantation Nisbet Plantation on Nevis has a storied history as a resort dating back 30 years and a pedigree that stretches far further back in time — the plantation was once home to Fanny Nisbet, wife of Admiral Horatio Nelson. The most iconic feature of the resort is its Avenue of the Palms, a broad lawn bordered by towering palm trees and sloping from the Great House to the edge of the sea.
