Find Your Perfect Poolside Retreat

Posted on by Alycee Byrd

Comfortable loungers, ceiling fans, flat-screen televisions, attentive service: A Four Seasons cabana is the ideal waterside retreat for relaxation and pampering. Whether you’re in search of romantic seclusion or a space to share time with family and friends, a private cabana is sure to make a splash. Arrange for an in-cabana spa treatment, or leave your sunglasses on your chaise for the Sunglass Butler to polish and repair while you swim – you’ve discovered your own piece of poolside paradise.

A colourful retreat in Maui

Sun yourself in style at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, where two of the cabanas at its adults-only Serenity Pool were designed by Italian fashion icon Missoni. Designed for comfort and privacy, each ocean-facing cabana offers rattan sofas, terrycloth towels and graphic pillows – all in Missoni’s signature bold designs – and includes a bottle of Champagne and lunch for two. Dive into the pool and enjoy the underwater music system or a cocktail from the swim-up bar, or schedule a poolside spa treatment in your cabana: This pool sanctuary is the ideal place to unwind. Looking for a family-friendly option? Head to the saltwater Fountain Pool or the Waterfall Pool, where luxury cabanas offer direct ocean views, a shared lawn and access to complimentary treats to help keep you cool, like an ice cream cart. The service continues in the sand at Wailea Beach, where your personal beach attendant will set up your chaise and umbrella and serve refreshments, like sliced pineapple with mint.

A historic setting in Miami

Cabana culture has been at the heart of The Surf Club ever since the legendary Miami Beach venue opened its doors in 1930. Architect Russell Pancoast designed them with an eye towards extravagance, taking inspiration from French castles, Maine summer cabins and Art Deco architecture. Over the years, Cabana Row has hosted fashion shows, race car displays, and see-and-be-seen parties for aristocrats, statesmen and celebrities. Today, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club and designer Joseph Dirand have reimagined the cabanas to add a few more modern touches, while still honouring their stylish heritage: Daytime Cabanas feature wood decks, rattan furniture, terrazzo floors, marble bathrooms with walk-in showers, and air conditioning, while on the next storey, five Beach Bungalows offer sweeping ocean and pool vistas, deep soaking tubs and customizable king beds, allowing guests to overnight in a slice of history.

Head to Sundara Beach Club, where the 53-metre beachfront pool – the longest in Bali – separates the family area from the adults-only sun deck. The family cabanas are conveniently positioned near Jimba Club, where kids can enjoy activities like crab hunting and coconut bowling while Mom and Dad lounge by the pool. The adults-only sundeck, meanwhile, is a calming oasis, where all you’ll hear is the sound of the waves. No matter where you sit, you’ll have access to amenities like cooling misters, cold face towels infused with ylang-ylang oil, and sun care products – plus a professional sunglasses cleaning service so you can take in the view.

CHERISH THE LAND IN MAUI

There are plenty of ways to embrace the spirit of aloha at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea: outrigger canoe tours, lei making, cultural tours, hula lessons. But at the heart of Hawaiian heritage is malama ‘aina – caring for and cherishing the land. To help protect its stretch of Wailea’s golden sand beach, the Resort has joined with the Pacific Whale Foundation’s Malama Hawaii program to offer Resort credits and a free night’s stay for guests who participate in a self-led beach clean-up. Pick up your supplies from the Concierge, then set out on a three-hour walk on the beach with family, collecting debris and learning how it affects marine life. It’s a great way to teach children to appreciate their surroundings.

TRACK ENDANGERED TURTLES IN NEVIS

From June to October, three species of sea turtle – the hawksbill, the leatherback and the green turtle – flock to Nevis to nest. All are endangered, and all need our help to protect their nests. For 15 years, Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies has partnered with the Sea Turtle Conservancy to sponsor GPS satellite transmitters that help researchers track the turtles’ migration. Guests can get in on the action, too: The Resort’s annual Sea Turtle Conservation Weekend, held each July, includes night turtle-tracking walks, sea turtle–themed programs, and catch-tag-and-release events. After guests depart, they can go online and see where the turtles have travelled.

SUPPORT WILDLIFE IN SERENGETI

Elephants, lions, antelopes, exotic birds: Keep an eye out for them when you stay at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti. After all, the Lodge is located in one of the most magnificent wildlife habitats in the world. To protect that habitat, the Lodge supports a number of initiatives, including the Serengeti Lion Project – the world’s longest continuous field study of large mammals – and the Serengeti Cheetah Project, which identifies and maps the big cats. One project dear to the heart of Ahmed Attas, manager of the Lodge’s Discovery Centre: a partnership with the Frankfurt Zoological Society’s Rhino Conservation Project, which supports mobile anti-poaching units to help safeguard the critically endangered black rhino. Every Four Seasons–led game drive, walking tour and safari benefits these conservation programs.

LEARN ABOUT GIANT TURTLES IN SEYCHELLES

Through partnerships with the Island Conservation Society and WiseOceans, guests at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island can assist in beach clean-ups, native tree planting and snorkelling excursions led by marine educators. One of the most memorable ways to get involved in conservation efforts on the island is a visit to the Tortoise Sanctuary, just a bike ride from the Resort. The Aldabra giant tortoise as a species faces extinction, but here you can watch individuals as they feed on fruit and move slowly through their habitat. Sponsor a juvenile tortoise and learn fun facts about the beloved creatures – for example, the Aldabra giant tortoise drinks through its nose.

PROTECT CORAL REEFS IN MALDIVES

Few marine conservation programs have been as successful as the Reefscaper initiative launched by Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa and environmental consultancy company Seamarc in 2001. Initially an effort to help local reefs damaged by coral bleaching, the program today includes Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru and has deployed more than 500,000 pieces of 40 types of coral to help build up reefs and re-establish fish species like the citron goby. Guests can get involved at the Marine Discovery Centre: Help build coral frames, then dive into the lagoon to see them at work. Later, you can check in on the corals growing on your frame via the Marine Savers website.

Extend Your Stay

Posted on by Alycee Byrd

Whether settling in to work and learn remotely or disconnecting on a sabbatical, life fills with opportunity when you extend your stay at Four Seasons.

A long weekend or week-long vacation provides time to relax and renew. But stays of 30 or more days truly allow guests to make Four Seasons destinations their home away from home.

Effortlessly Zoom with the office while your children carry on with supervised school sessions. Then take advantage of unforgettable experiences you’ve always put off, like learning to freedive or mastering the French language. Work and play have never been easier to combine, now that you can extend your stay.

Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo

Channel your inner Jacques Cousteau in Costa Rica. This vibrant country is heralded for its lush, wildlife-rich rainforests, but its marine life is equally spectacular and diverse. You could view the sea through the lens of a snorkel, but the team at Four Seasons can teach you to experience it like a fish.

“Learning to freedive allows you to leave your comfort zone, literally, by immersing yourself in an unknown environment,” says Miguel Sanchez, Director of the Papagayo Explorers, the Resort’s in-house adventure centre. “You must start by first letting go of your fears and breathe through any discomfort. Once you learn to relax and be fully present, you will begin to enjoy this rich experience, and you will see your progression from one dive to the next. Our holistic approach is designed to be at one with nature.

“As you improve your skill, you will become addicted to the endless natural encounters in the Gulf of Papagayo, from the Catalina Islands to Santa Rosa National Park, diving alongside Pacific mantas, turtles, nurse sharks and some of the most stunning marine life imaginable.”

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

Guest Experience Supervisor Danielle Carp has worked with extended-stay clients towards achievements in winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. But her favourite educational adventure? Ice climbing.

“I have assisted our guests in curating adventure-based programs that have allowed them the opportunity to overcome adversity and to put their trust in a team, guide or leader,” she says. “These experiences allow guests to improve their communication skills and build their confidence.

“Personally, I have an affinity for ice climbing. You are provided with an ice axe, a harness and crampons. Your guide places ice screws into an ice wall, you climb the wall while the guide is belaying you on your way up. It’s similar to a pulley system. The climber must fully trust their guide as they climb the ice wall. The views are extraordinary, and the overall experience is truly like nothing on earth.”

The new partnership between Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora and WiseOceans has been a hit with longer-stay guests. Travellers with less time can enjoy a complimentary snorkelling tour. When they have more flexibility, they can combine recreation with education and embark on a Private Lagoon Discovery Tour. This private, guided experience is an amazing way to learn about the marine environment while aboard a private chartered boat. Guests then join the Resort’s marine biologist, Louis Sabadel, under the surface.

“There’s a very special connection that guests and I share when we’re out on and under the water together,” says Sabadel. “We experience the magic of the marine environment as one, and we also become more aware of how we can each contribute to conservation efforts no matter where we are.”

“The Villa’s dedicated private assistant can share some of the Côte d’Azur’s best-kept secrets and arrange personalized activities that make guests feel like a local.” For full French immersion, he can set up French lessons, arrange a tour of the local market with our chef, and give guests pétanque lessons on the villa’s bowling ground.”

“To create a mountain of memories you need to start on top of a mountain,” Marissink says. “We set up daily skiing lessons for both the parents and the kids with local ski guides, who truly know the hidden gems of our backyard.

These were followed by cultural and culinary itineraries all around town: the best places for a Canadian Caesar, the best cheese fondue, Crockpot customized dinners prepared by our kitchen team. Our team members also shared their local tips, and the family loved their insights. It was truly rewarding to watch these guests sharing interests and developing a bond that will last a lifetime.”

Luxury of the Workcation

Posted on by Alycee Byrd

You don’t have to wait for vacation to reward yourself with sunset treks on a deserted beach, fresh tracks at a ski resort or private cooking classes with a Michelin-starred chef.

Workcations have emerged as one of the top travel trends for 2021 – and for good reason: They allow us long-term stays in beautiful destinations with the benefits of work-life balance.

Four Seasons makes working from paradise even easier with services and amenities, including professional IT support, poolside Screen Doctors and office beach cabanas. Make the most of flexible schedules by getting away with friends or family and indulging your passions, with choices like skiing, golf, diving and relaxing on the beach.

Who hasn’t dreamed of working from a Caribbean island? Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies, makes the dream achievable with new perks such as executive lunch offerings and beach cabanas that can be converted to private workstations with ocean views. The Resort’s collection of more than 50 homes ranges from one to seven bedrooms each, so you can come with colleagues or bring the family and take advantage of the Resort’s new “schoolcation” programs. With dedicated ambassadors for daily needs or special requests, custom-tailored pre-arrival provisioning services, private in-home experiences, and full access to all Resort services and amenities, you’ll have more time for both work and play.

Start your day with a personalized sunrise yoga session overlooking the sea, and use your midday break to master a new skill during a golf clinic or hot-sauce–making class. Leaving out a long commute means more time after work to play foot golf on the Resort’s new championship course and enjoy sunset happy hour at On the Dune.

If you’ve dropped into Hong Kong for business before, you probably didn’t have time to discover the city’s multifaceted cultural scene and fantastic hiking trails. Now is an ideal opportunity to explore beyond the board room.

The new Escape to Reconnect room package at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong beckons travellers to come for a workcation with 25 percent off room rates, inclusive of daily breakfast, and an additional 10 percent off in-room dining and The Lounge. Based on Hong Kong’s storied Victoria Harbour, you have a front-row view of all of the action. Before you power on your laptop, get out for a run along the waterfront or a swim in the Hotel’s outdoor lap pool.

Need to relax after video calls? Turn to the Hotel’s self-guided meditation app to help calm your mind and reset, or roll out your in-suite yoga mat for a few rounds of sun salutations. The talented therapists at the Spa are on call to help you achieve mind-body balance during your stay. Activate your creative side with an art therapy session, or shut down the laptop early to enjoy a half-day Well Feeling spa ritual that includes a guided meditation, a massage, a facial and a nutritious lunch on the pool terrace.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler

Embrace mountain living at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler. Framed by evergreen forests at the base of Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, the Resort puts you steps from the slopes, making it easy to field work calls from the gondola or sneak in first tracks ahead of the workday.

All rooms feature desks, seating areas or dining tables, plus balconies so you can enjoy an alpine view as you take video video calls. Short-term meeting room rentals are complimentary, and audiovisual support is always a call away. The Resort’s Ski Concierge can handle all of your mountain logistics, from ski rentals and fittings to guides and lessons. After a day on the slopes, soak in the heated outdoor pool or one of three hot-spring–style whirlpools.

Then either retreat to your room for an in-residence slow-cooker feast or dine at one of the Resort’s two reimagined restaurants. SIDECUT, its fireside steakhouse, has been newly renovated and features prime hand-cut steaks seasoned with Chef’s Classic Rubs, and Braidwood Tavern has been designed to evoke the warmth of a family mountain cabin.

Hire a professional tutor to help your kids with chemistry and algebra, or rent the kids a study cabana outfitted with Wi-Fi, headphones, and energizing snacks like smoothies and popsicles. Travel can be the best learning opportunity: Spanish classes, folkloric ballet lessons and other activities immerse kids in Mexican culture, and sea foraging and sea turtle release excursions double as environmental education classes.

A sanctuary that feels truly away from it all, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is the perfect setting for you to restore the mind, rejuvenate the body and refocus while working. A multimillion-dollar enhancement has made the Resort even more attractive for longer stays and family getaways.

A new bungalow consisting of six oceanfront guest rooms, including a suite with a private pool, will be built adjacent to Kumukea Beach on the Resort’s northern edge, and the top three villas at the Resort – Hawaii Loa, Makaloa and Ho‘onanea – will each acquire a second storey.

To satisfy all varieties of travellers, we’ve rounded up seven of the world’s most breathtaking destinations and the most exhilarating ways to see them from the sky. From Dubai to Whistler, follow our guide to taking flight.
