Nevis has a rainforest which should be perfect for hiking. Montpelier Plantation Inn has their own beach club (shuttle) and has grougeous views of the rainforest. Also, St. John has the national park and lots of beaches. Nevis is more exotic -- St. John is more convenient.

I agree with the St. John recommendation and also wanted to point out that Puerto Rico meets your requirements. There is great hiking in the rain forest (El Yunque) and the dry forest (in Guanica), and there are lots of beautiful beaches. I live in PR, but St. John is probably my favorite island of all the ones I've visited.
