The Ideal Oasis: Four Seasons Residences That Make the Best Sunny Sanctuaries

Longing to escape the chill of winter? Trade ice and snow for sun and sand without sacrificing the comfort, privacy and security of your own home. From a private island in Belize to Baja’s exclusive East Cape, your Four Seasons Private Residence is a private sanctuary, complemented by world-class Four Seasons service and amenities – from your own dedicated Concierge team to privileged access to beaches, lounges and experiences available only to Four Seasons homeowners. Looking for a warm-weather hideaway to call home? Here are a few of our favourites, in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. 

Clear turquoise waters, pristine beaches, soothing sunshine: Living with Four Seasons Private Residences Anguilla is like living in paradise. It’s easy to feel at home here – take your pick from one of three distinct residence styles: Villa Residences overlooking Barnes Bay, Point House Residences at the heart of the Resort, and Beach Residences just steps from the shore. All offer private pools, spacious living areas, and easy access to island activities like snorkelling, diving and sailing – as well as a variety of floorplans to provide room for everyone. Hit the sand for a friendly beach volleyball game, explore the caves of Little Bay Harbour – a blue lagoon reachable only by boat – and feast on local flavours at Anguilla’s many restaurants: Your 24-hour Concierge can make all the arrangements before you even arrive, from stocking the fridge to making dinner reservations. And because your Concierge team will get to know you and your preferences, they can anticipate your every need, before and after your arrival, and even handle your routine home maintenance. Their warm welcome every time you return home will make it even easier to shrug off the winter blues and embrace beach bliss. 

Your spirited escape never needs to end when you make your home with Four Seasons Private Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas™. Tucked away on 3.2 kilometres of untouched beachfront on Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, this private sanctuary offers the best of both worlds: sun-drenched beaches on the Sea of Cortéz for calm and quiet, and heart-pounding adventure in the desert dunes and nearby mountains. This undiscovered landscape is yours to explore, whether you want to hike your way to hidden waterfalls with a guide or tee off at the exclusive Costa Palmas Golf Club. Afterwards, return to a home perfectly suited to your lifestyle: Residences, villas and casitas offer floorplans that range from two to six bedrooms and up to 10,294 square feet of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Expansive waterfront terraces, private pools and custom-designed interiors are an intimate setting for restorative time with friends and loved ones – your own private and secluded sanctuary for you to return to again and again. 

You’ll feel the weight of the world lift from your shoulders the moment you step off the boat at Caye Chapel, just 30 minutes from the mainland. With 6 miles of white-sand beaches, clear blue waters and lush green spaces to explore, you’ll discover peace and seclusion in the heart of Belize’s largest marine sanctuary. Designed with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, the homes at Four Seasons Private Residences Caye Chapel, Belize blend seamlessly with their natural setting, complemented by the famed anticipatory service of Four Seasons and island amenities like the 18-hole, Greg Norman–designed White Shark Golf Course; the Fabien Cousteau Adventure Center; and bustling Union Harbor and Marina. Find new inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounds your new home, or rediscover your sense of wonder with a dive at Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With Four Seasons on hand to take care of all the details, you and your guests are free to focus on what matters most: your time together. 

Ideally positioned on South Florida’s glamorous Atlantic coastline, Fort Lauderdale boasts 300 miles of pristine waterways, prestigious deep-water marinas and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway – it’s easy to see why the destination is known as the “yachting capital of the world.” A luxurious yachting lifestyle is front and centre at Four Seasons Private Residences Fort Lauderdale: brightly lit living spaces, custom lacquered millwork, antique brass finishes and open private terraces with panoramic views of the sea.
