Our Most Beautiful Bars – and What to Drink There

Posted on by Alison Miller

From the atmosphere and design to the expertly crafted cocktails, every detail has been carefully considered at these sumptuous watering holes. Here, a list of our most outstanding bars, plus insider tips on what to order when you go.


One-Ninety Bar in Singapore

One-Ninety Bar, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore

Helmed by dapper Detroit native Joseph Haywood, this sleek marble bar evolves throughout the day from pour-over coffee counter to afternoon teahouse to Singapore’s hottest cocktail spot. Usher in the evening with L’Aperitivo Hour (6:00 to 8:00 pm), when Haywood and team turn out classic pre-dinner drinks like the Aperol Spritz and Sherry Cobbler along with complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Nab a seat at the bar or take over a corner of the terrazzo, complete with orchids and potted palms. In this serene outdoor setting, you’d never know you were mere steps from bustling Orchard Road.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Singapore

“A bourbon cocktail with lemon juice, egg white, house-made banana syrup and Chuncho Peruvian bitters, the Hungry Hipster was created to complement Chicken Rice, a local dish with ginger, dark soy and chilli sauces. The balance of sweet and sour flavours cleanses the palate with every sip, preparing you for another spoonful of this delicious meal.” —Joseph Haywood, Head Bartender

Charles H. Bar, Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

Named after influential Prohibition-era troubadour Charles H. Baker Jr., Four Seasons Hotel Seoul’s Charles H. Bar is a spot-on throwback to 1920s New York. The cocktail menu serves as a map of Baker’s travels around the globe, with a few modern additions, served in a sultry underground space bedecked in mahogany and black leather. You may want to call for the Manhattan flight and study the nuances of each variation, or try the Hoffman House #2, Bar Manager Lorenzo Antinori’s jasmine-tinged take on the dry martini.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Seoul

“Charles H. Baker Jr. writes about this drink, which he tasted while travelling in India, in his book The Gentleman’s Companion. It follows the DNA of a Manhattan and adds a mysterious ingredient for that time: celery bitters. We recreate it using rye whiskey, apple brandy, vermouth, celery seed and celery bitters. The drink is smoked with applewood chips and served tableside.” —Lorenzo Antinori

Le Sirenuse Champagne Bar

Le Sirenuse Champagne Bar, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club

The heart of Le Sirenuse Miami, located at Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, is a gleaming white marble bar rising from a decidedly art deco, sea-glass-green base. Here, South Florida’s largest selection of fine Champagnes is served alongside a dazzling array of cocktails that draw inspiration from Positano, site of the iconic, Michelin-starred Le Sirenuse restaurant. Swing by between 4:00 and 6:00 pm for The Art of Aperitivo: In the Le Sirenuse Miami version of this genial Italian tradition, white-jacketed bartenders prepare Bellinis tableside, and Chef de Cuisine Antonio Mermolia sends out plates of daily changing canapés.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Miami

“I was born and raised in Florence, Italy, so my go-to cocktail is definitely the negroni. In fact, the cocktail was first created in Florence in 1920, and it was a staple in many of the restaurants I visited growing up. Here in the Champagne Bar at Le Sirenuse Miami, we deeply respect the rich history of the negroni and wanted to create something that paid homage to its traditional Italian roots. L’essenza is a remarkable blend of three different negroni recipes, all crafted with different gins, vermouths, sherries and bitters. Each becomes a distinct and unique part of the cocktail, and like best cognacs or whiskeys, it is the blend that produces what we consider the perfect negroni.”
—Jacopo Rosito

Luna Sky Bar, Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre

A posh rooftop retreat in Dubai’s International Financial Centre, Luna Sky Bar encompasses the eighth-floor rooftop of Four Seasons Hotel DIFC Dubai. Designer Adam Tihany’s inspiration, the falcon, a Middle Eastern symbol of luxury and bravery, is evident in the feathery light fixtures and rotating, birdcage-like display shelves behind the bar. Here, bartenders prepare purist classics alongside modern variations with a European bent. The expansive deck is also perhaps the city’s best spot to gaze upon the lofty Burj Khalifa, drink in hand.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Dubai International Financial Centre

“This aperitivo cocktail, made with Scotch, Aperol, Averna, allspice dram and orange bitters, is the perfect mix of bitter and sweet. The Aperol is infused with ground coffee, which is then used as fertilizer for the plants at Luna Sky Bar. By drinking our Forgotten Negroni, you make Luna Sky Bar a greener place!” —Sushain Sehgal, Bar Manager

Sunset Lounge in Anguilla

Sunset Lounge, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla

Ensconced between the infinity pool and the aquamarine sea, Four Seasons Resort Anguilla’s open-air Sunset Lounge serves up more than just fresh-squeezed cocktails. The breezy, Kelly Wearstler–designed space is filled with comfortable, sleek sofas and chairs, and a gleaming wood counter with high stools that flanks Barnes Bay. Come sunset, these are quite possibly the most sought-after seats on the island.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Anguilla

“This gin-based drink features sake, cardamom syrup, fresh lemon juice, club soda and muddled dragon fruit, which produces a vibrant, bright pink hue. It’s beautiful and tastes amazing – light, fresh, with a tiny hint of fruit.” —Petal Rogers

Rotunda Bar, Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge

Head Bartender Harry Nikolaou oversees the curvaceous copper Rotunda Bar at
Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge. Watch him give your cocktail a charismatic shake before you retire to the circular seating area beneath the art deco domed ceiling. The menu tells the story of the iconic building – once home to the Port of London Authority – through spirits and cocktails. Want a deep dive into history? Consider the Croix de Salles bottled in 1922, the same year Ten Trinity Square was completed.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Ten Trinity Square in London

“It’s named after the great diarist Samuel Pepys, who lived next to Ten Trinity Square and famously buried his Parmesan cheese to protect it from the Great Fire of London. It’s a refreshing combination of melon-infused dark rum, melon and mint cordial, peach bitters, and lime with a Parmesan-and-salt rim. The herbal flavours are balanced with the natural sweetness of the melon and the savoury notes from the Parmesan.” —Harry Nikolaou

Allium, Four Seasons Hotel Chicago

At Allium, in the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, classic Midwestern dishes get a modern makeover and so do cocktails. Whereas the restaurant is bright and white with soaring ceilings, the clubby bar sports dark woods, rich fabrics and a collection of safari fashion photographs by South African artist David Kent. Sink into one of the tall banquettes and sip on the Smoked Peach, a clever combination of mezcal, peach nectar, Cointreau and lime.


Cocktail at Four Seasons Chicago

“For drinking in a ‘new-fashioned world,’ Allium bar serves a modern twist on the classic old-fashioned. The Summer Fashion’s base is Don Julio Reposado, with its mellow citrus notes, spice layers and delicate agave sweetness. Then, we add grapefruit bitters and citrus rind, creating an inviting sipping cocktail with a bright and complex citrus tang.” —Brooke Deatherage, Bartender

Ancient Practices Made New

Meditate With a Former Buddhist Nun

At Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, resident wellness mentor and former Buddhist nun Ibu Fera knows the value of mindfulness and meditation: “They’re realistic ways of addressing all sorts of stresses. They go straight to the root of the problem.” For an even deeper sense of relaxation, she recommends the Sacred Nap ritual. Wrap yourself in an aerial silk hammock, suspended from the ceiling of the Resort’s bamboo Dharma Shanti Bale, and let Fera rock you to sleep as she tells the life story of Buddha. You’ll awake from this deeply soothing and nurturing experience refreshed and recharged.

Make a Wish in Vietnam

You’ll have the Spa to yourself at Four Seasons Resort Hoi An (The Nam Hai) during the Goodnight Kiss to the Earth ceremony. As the sun sets, float traditional wishing candles on the Spa’s lagoon and join Oanh Ngo, the Resort’s Resident Singing Bowl Artist, for a soothing singing bowl lesson on an eight-octave set of crystal bowls tuned to 432 Hz – believed to be the harmonic frequency of the universe. “When I play singing bowls I feel more happiness,” Ngo says. “I feel at peace, and it helps me to deeply connect back to myself, as well as to our Mother Earth.”

 

Find New Perspective in the Sonoran Desert

In Arizona, at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North, you can start the day with a 6:30 am hike on the Resort’s private trail through Pinnacle Peak Park. The 5.1-mile hike meanders over saguaro-studded ridgetop and past towering granite boulders. Your effort is rewarded at the top, where you’ll enjoy 360-degree views of North Scottsdale – the ideal spot to change your perspective.

Sip a Green Drink in Anguilla

Because a healthy lifestyle often begins with diet, each hotel or resort prioritizes nutritious offerings. Raise a glass to wellness at Half Shell Beach Bar at Four Seasons Resort Anguilla. On the menu? The Dean Green Supreme, which has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to moringa plant leaves. You know they’re fresh, because Restaurant Manager Dean Bryan picks the leaves from his home tree. The rest of the ingredients? Bananas, orange juice, mango purée and – should you so desire – coconut rum. “Moringa contains more vitamin C than oranges, the same amount of vitamin A as carrots, more potassium than bananas, more iron than spinach and more protein than yogurt,” Bryan says.

 

Relax with the Waves in Seychelles

No wellness regime would be complete without some pampering, inside and out, and you have options around the globe. One is at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island. Unwind with a relaxing massage that uses a unique technique: Eggs filled with hot baobab seeds are rolled across your skin to soothe tense muscles, mimicking the sound and motion of waves.

 

Find Holistic Harmony in Bali

Science meets spiritual at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, where the cutting-edge Illume Room draws on the latest technology and scientific understanding of the body’s 50 trillion cells to offer total immersion into light, sound and colour frequencies. Bali’s first “Surround Sound Spa Suite,” the room is sealed from outside light sources to maximise the effects of colour therapy, while a heated quartz-sand bed made of crushed crystals and seven alchemy crystal singing bowls add to the vibrations – using the body’s electromagnetic field to stimulate inner healing.

 

Enjoy Exclusive Access in LA

Put wellness at the centre of your stay at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, where the exclusive Private Fitness Suite offers access to room features like a treadmill, Hydrow Rowing machine, Peloton bike, yoga equipment, medicine ball and weights, and Soul Cycle bike. After your workout, shower in the suite’s private bathroom and then unwind with guided meditation narrated by Deepak Chopra. Or just pause for a rest – the room’s energizing light helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm.

Harvest salt in Hawaii and learn to cook with it

Unexpected Exploits

Harvest Salt in Hawaii

If you think salt harvesting – as a guest of Four Seasons Resort Hualalai – must be bad for your blood pressure, think again. “Our Hawaiian ancestors lived off of Hawaii’s bountiful resources and, in turn, respected and honoured our land and ocean,” says Aunty Halani Berard, Mea Ho‘okipa (literal translation: “I am host”), a member of the Resort’s Ka‘upulehu Cultural Center team. “The natural salt the ocean provided was a cornerstone of Hawaiian living – used for food preservation, cooking, medicine and more. We are thrilled to bring this experience to our guests as another way to showcase our rich history.”

The natural salt the ocean provided was a cornerstone of Hawaiian living.

The newly launched experience begins with a quick hike to the ancient salt flats adjacent to the Resort, where guests will learn how Hawaiians collected and dried the vital mineral. Next, a cooking class with a Resort chef to taste how sea salt can change a dish. Still want more? End the day in the Spa with the Salts of the Ocean Body Treatment, which includes a salt scrub-down.

 

Soar in an AntiGravity Class in Kuwait

At Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya, guests can take an AntiGravity class in which they’ll do ballet, Pilates, yoga and strength training while suspended from the ceiling in a silk hammock. “When you start practising this, you’ll find you actually become younger, healthier and even a bit taller,” says AntiGravity founder Christopher Harrison. (We wouldn’t bet on the younger part, but it’s certainly worth trying.)

 

Cycle Underwater in Mauritius

If you’d rather be immersed in water than suspended in mid-air, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita is your place: There, guests will be elbow deep in the 25-metre (82-foot) al fresco lap pool for an aquabike session. Or simply choose to run a 3.5-to-7-kilometre trail along the sugar fields. “June is the start of the sugar-cane harvesting season in Mauritius,” Fitness Centre Manager Noam Clarisse says, “meaning that much of the cane is at its tallest and it sways gently in the breeze – a beautiful sight to run alongside in the early morning light.”

A Colourful Course

Posted on by Shannon Magann

Shep and Ian Murray were miserable. Their New York City office jobs were a far cry from the lives they had envisioned during a childhood spent accompanying their journalist parents to destinations in Africa, Italy and Anguilla. So it was only fitting that on a trip back to that same island paradise, they developed an escape plan. “We were talking to a friend of ours, telling him about an idea we had to sell neckties,” Shep says. “He said, ‘What’s stopping you?’ ” The brothers accepted the challenge, and
vineyard vines was born.

As we visit different destinations, we try to put them into our clothes.

Nearly 20 years later, Shep and Ian’s passion project has become a household name, synonymous with apparel that’s equal parts polished and whimsical. “We started making ties first because we couldn’t find ones that were colourful, fun and well-made,” Ian says. The inspiration? Their many travels – past and present.

Anguilla

Having discovered Anguilla as boys, the brothers pay homage to their beloved vacation spot – and site of the brand’s inception – with the tongue-in-cheek Rum Runner Tie, featuring a runaway rum barrel.

Boating in deep water

“I caught my first sailfish in Costa Rica, and it ignited my love of fishing,” Ian says. “It inspired me to take Shep fishing in the Florida Keys for his bachelor party. Since then, boating and fishing have been a huge part of our lives and our brand.”

“Everyone and everything in Austin – from the live music to the barbecue – embodies the ‘Every day should feel this good’ motto,” Shep says. “It’s hard not to have a good time when you’re there.”

A beloved sweatshirt from a childhood ski trip to Switzerland 30 years ago became the prototype for one of the brand’s bestselling items: The Shep Shirt.

On where their travels will take them next: “Our family visited Italy together when we were kids, but we never made it to Florence,” Shep says. “Our parents loved it there, so we’re looking forward to seeing what it’s all about.”

“As we visit different destinations, we try to put them into our clothes,” Shep says. “It’s an emotional thing. Every season, we take our customers somewhere new and introduce them to the landscape and people.”

As the place where it all began, the small Caribbean island of Anguilla remains near to their hearts. “The pace is slower, the beach days are a little longer, and the vibe is a little more barefoot and casual,” Ian says. “There’s an authenticity about it that we love.” The brothers aim to infuse each of their products with that same feeling, in particular using playful patterns with images of martinis, golf clubs and Windsurfers.

“‘Every day should feel this good’ is our way of life,” Shep says. “It’s a reminder not to take life too seriously, and it means different things to different people.”

Where Are Best Beach Vacations In the World?

Posted on by Lenise Willis

Whether you prefer an aquatic adventure, the most colourful sunset or the tranquillity that comes from serene crystal waters, the world is full of opportunities to revel in paradise.

In seeking the best beach vacations in the world, we’ve compared your favourite stretches of sand, as displayed on social media, with our own beloved picks, from Bora Bora to Vietnam. These 12 beaches, selected from six regions around the world, are ideal for your next tropical getaway.

Best Beaches in the Pacific Islands

Amid away-from-it-all volcanic islands, the beaches of Indonesia and French Polynesia boast sapphire waters surrounded by emerald mountains.

Traveller’s Pick: Bora Bora

A post shared by Melissa Panetta (@melissa)

On Instagram, Bora Bora is repeatedly deemed a favourite escape, even called the land of “50 shades of blue.” In addition to the seemingly endless waters, guests can soak in the sight of Mount Otemanu. The recently enhanced overwater bungalow suites at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora take the beach vacation to the next level, offering 360-degree views and complete immersion in the aquatic life.

Editor’s Pick: Bali at Jimbaran Bay


Sundara, Bali at Jimbaran Bay

Sundara, lauded as the best beach club in Bali, sets this escape apart from the rest. Enjoy live music, sundown cocktails and fresh Jimbaran seafood while you lounge beachside.

The lure of the exotic leads us to another one of our favourite tropical escapes: the beach of Jimbaran Bay. With volcanic mountains visible in the distance, soft white sand and year-round warm temperatures characterize the Bali beach.

After relaxing in the sun, get active with catamaran spilling, stand-up paddle boarding and surfing Bali’s famous breaks. Linger for Jimbaran’s magical sunsets with a drink at Sundara beach club and fresh seafood at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay.

Best Beaches in Latin America

Though typically known for its vivid rain forests, South America and Central America can also claim some of the world’s most beautiful beaches.

Traveller’s Pick: Costa Rica

A post shared by Anthony Stewart (@afs62)

No setting sun is more gorgeous than one dozily sinking behind the ocean, which is why Costa Rica is one of your favourite beaches at day’s end. With warm gulf waters, pristine white sands and tropical trees swaying inland, the Gulf of Papagayo is a premier setting for beach photos – day and night.

Editor’s Pick: Punta Mita


Pun 694 970x540

The Marieta Islands just off the coast of Mexico have hidden beaches perfect for a secluded escape.

With nearby golf courses and opportunities for surfing, Punta Mita is one of our favourite beaches for those who want to do more than just relax.

For a day excursion, visit Islas Marietas National Park, just a few miles west of Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita and relax on one of the world’s most unusual beaches. The islands, formed by volcanic activity, are rich in natural wildlife. From December to March, marvel at the power and grace of humpback whales during their migration through the bay.

Best African Beaches

Home to some of the best lesser-known snorkelling and diving spots, the islands off Africa are excellent options for your next beach getaway.

Traveller’s Pick: Seychelles

Just off the coast of East Africa lie Four Seasons Resort Seychelles and Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island, home to numerous beaches and nature reserves. Nature is awe-inspiring here. You may even catch a glimpse of a rare giant Aldabra tortoise.

“Nothing can beat Seychelles sunsets,” says traveller Tania Gae Mllitello. Besides the beautiful close of the day, she also loves the relaxed atmosphere and the great surfing waves. “On a Sunday afternoon you can go there and find many Seychellois and tourists together catching waves or having a picnic by the beach.

Editor’s Pick: Mauritius


Hidden enclave by ocean

Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and basking in nearly year-round sunshine, Mauritius is an island paradise.

The island of Mauritius, blissfully stranded in the Indian Ocean, beckons travellers who seek the serenity of being one with nature. At Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita guests can enjoy three private beaches, with their choice of a beach sofa, palm tree hammock or sun lounger on Ile aux Cerfs, the Resort’s exclusive private island.

Sail the turquoise sea, marvel at giant tortoises on the beach, play golf on a championship course, or just gaze at the glinting water outlined by the Bambou Mountains in the distance.

Best Beaches in Southeast Asia

With some of the world’s most varied coral reefs and year-round tropical climate, the “East Indies” offer travellers some of the most picturesque scenes for their beach vacation.

Traveller’s Pick: The Maldives

Guests seeking stillness and tranquillity often turn to the beaches of the Maldives, a nation made up of more than 1,000 coral islands known for their blue lagoons and underwater scenery. Katharina Horstmann claims the Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru as her favourite beach because “it reveals the perfect beauty of nature.”

“For me, [true happiness] is when I walk alone on the beach through the coral sand, while the shallow turquoise water tickles my toes.”

For the ultimate in peaceful seclusion, escape to Maldives Private Island Voavah at Baa Atoll.

Editor’s Pick: Hoi An, Vietnam


Beach at Hoi An, Vietnam

Enjoy direct access to Ha My Beach from your suite at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Lying in Vietnam’s cultural heartland, the tranquil kilometre-long stretch of beach in Hoi An has been deemed one of the world’s best beaches, and it’s also a relaxing perch from which to explore the country’s rich history.

In between bouts of lazing in the sun, take an excursion to any of the three UNESCO heritage sites nearby: Hue’s imperial city, the temple sanctuary of My Son and Hoi An’s enchanting lantern-lit streets.

Best Beaches in the United States

Whether you’re looking to ride a gnarly wave, sail the Atlantic or escape to the peaceful exotic, the United States of America has a beach for you.

Traveller’s Pick: Lanai, Hawaii

Though Lanai begs to be photographed for its Hawaiian sunsets, swaying palms and sweeping views of the Pacific, its starry night sky is what moved Mark Edward Harris to share the beauty of what has been long celebrated by guests as a favourite American beach destination.

Spend the day playing in the white sands of the secluded “Shipwreck Beach,” accessible only by 4×4 jeep, and snorkelling in the waters of Hulopoe Bay, a protected marine preserve. Then hike to Pu’uPehe (Sweetheart Rock), 20 minutes from Four Seasons Resort Lanai, and stare into the glittering nighttime.

Editor’s Pick: Palm Beach, Florida


Pbf 1118 970x540

Make Palm Beach, Florida your perch to enjoy natural views and beach tranquillity.

With 47 miles of pristine golden beaches, Palm Beach, Florida, has a setting for everyone – from romantically private stretches of sand to family-friendly beaches with playgrounds, nature centres and beach parks that offer snorkelling, windsailing, fishing or paddleboarding. Catch a gleeful glimpse of a loggerhead turtle, or relax in a cabana with the complimentary service of personal beach staff at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach.

Best Caribbean Getaways

Southeast of the Gulf of Mexico, the tropical Caribbean is home to more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays. How do you choose the best?

Traveller’s Pick: Nevis

A post shared by Four Seasons Resort Nevis (@fsnevis)

Called a “hidden gem” by guests, Nevis offers lovely beaches that are almost never crowded. “We spent every evening on this beach watching the beautiful sun set into the ocean,” says Anna Ng, who selected Nevis as her favourite beach getaway. “You truly feel like you’re on a quiet, remote island away from the rest of the world.”

On the north side of the island is a sweet spot, Lovers Beach, virtually hidden from the road. Its secluded location ensures guests optimal privacy. Locals agree that the best beaches on the island are on the northern and western shores. A more popular spot is Pinney’s Beach, running for about three miles near Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

Editor’s Pick: Anguilla


Anguilla hammock

Relax in your choice of a hammock or beach lounger while enjoying the laid-back atmosphere in Anguilla.

From hidden coves to long stretches of powdery sand, Anguilla is home to 33 breathtaking beaches. And with no cruise ships or casinos allowed, you’re promised a relaxing scene for unwinding. Bask in the low-key spirit of the British Overseas Territory while locals share their passion for boat racing, Caribbean music – and food.

Its impeccable scenery combined with a coastal dining scene like no other, Anguilla easily makes it to the top of our list of best beach vacations in the world. Its silky sand is highlighted by more than 100 restaurants, from rustic to luxurious, several of them right on the water. Enjoy a rum punch, a local lobster delicacy and the everlasting allure of the sea at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla.
