At Home on the Sea of Cortez

Four Seasons Private Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, the first Four Seasons marina resort in the world, sits on the storied East Cape of Mexico’s Baja California Sur. Here, the Sea of Cortez sets each day’s cadence. Nestled at the edge of a protected cove, the collection of homes serves as an ideal home base for a host of nautical adventures, from early morning fishing expeditions and afternoon diving excursions to sunset cruises.   

Each residence is sited to take advantage of views of the untouched coastline, the luxury marina, or the Robert Trent Jones II-designed Costa Palmas Golf Course, which is framed by the majestic Sierra de la Laguna mountain range. Guided by the area’s vast natural beauty, the understated modern architecture blends in with the environment. “Arriving home feels like a choreographed celebration of nature and architecture, of grand living spaces and stunning water views,” says Brendan Guerin of Guerin Glass Architects.

The exteriors of the homes are rendered in stucco, both textured and smooth, for a desert-like aesthetic that suits the landscape, while floor-to-ceiling windows and ample outdoor spaces spotlight water views and offer a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The airy interiors by Irongate draw on a soothing palette of rich oak, warm plaster, and creamy travertine.

Beachfront Casitas and Residences front almost two miles of swimmable beach, which means that residents can step off their patio and sink their toes into the soft white sand. Beach Club Casitas, many of which overlook the 18-hole golf course, are near the owners-only Beach Club. Marina Residences are located in the heart of the full-service luxury marina, which accommodates all manner of sea vessels, from Sunfish sailboats to large yachts. Owners of a custom-built Marina Villa or Beachfront Yacht Villa have access to a private dock for their boat. Known as the “the world’s aquarium,” the Sea of Cortez is ideal for yachting, sportfishing, and diving.

And just a boat or water-taxi ride away is the Marina Village, the lively hub of Costa Palmas. Lined with restaurants, cafés, boutiques, bars, and day clubs, it brings together locals and visitors of all ages. Highlights include chef Nancy Silverton’s Italian-inspired Mozza Baja, and Chiki, a glamorous nightclub designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.

A Day Well Lived at Home in Bahrain Bay

At Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay, residents wake up to sweeping views of the sea and the Manama skyline and spend the day moving effortlessly between private residential comforts and the many amenities at the adjacent Four Seasons hotel. 

The property, designed by the San Francisco-based architecture firm Gensler, reflects Bahrain itself, a country where deep-rooted traditions and hospitality coexist with innovation, contemporary design, and a global outlook. London’s Rive Gauche took the lead on interior design, crafting expansive luxury residences, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan living spaces, marble kitchens and bathrooms, mother-of-pearl details, and state-of-the-art home technology. 

The 112 private residences (a mix of apartments, duplexes, and penthouses with indoor-outdoor living areas and infinity pools) are located in two modern buildings connected by a light-filled lobby. Inside are ample communal spaces: a lounge, a children’s area, a fitness room, a movie theatre, and a multi-purpose room. Outside, highlights include a private pool overlooking the bay, a landscaped pool deck, and a children’s play area. Across a bridge (an easy walk or a faster buggy ride) are the many hotel amenities available to residents—Wolfgang Puck restaurants and lounges, a spa, three pools, a beach club, and more.  

Centrally situated, the property is just minutes away from some of the capital city’s most sophisticated offerings, from luxury shopping at MODA and the Avenues to must-visit cultural institutions including the Bahrain National Museum and Bahrain Fort (also known as Qal’at al-Bahrain), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And for those seeking an adrenaline rush, there’s the Bahrain International Circuit, home to Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix.  

But residents can also have a rich experience without stepping off the premises if that’s what they prefer. Herewith, a day in the life at Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay.  

Sunrise

The day begins with the view. Just beyond the architecturally striking towers of Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay lies the showstopper that you see upon waking: the bay’s turquoise waters and the cloudless sky beyond. This will be a beautiful day.  

Mid-Morning 

Time to move. You’re considering either a cardio and weights workout in the residents-only fitness centre, a private yoga session on the lawn overlooking the bay, or a special Pilates pop-up class. The children are busy in the nearby outdoor play area or supervised in the indoor playroom. 

Lunch 

Call for a buggy and head to lunch at the hotel, which feels like an extension of home. You had a steak at Wolfgang Puck’s Cut yesterday, and though you’re tempted by the Lebanese menu at Byblos, today you’re in the mood for Puck’s take on modern Asian cuisine at Re Asian.  

Afternoon 

The hotel’s private white-sand beach beckons—as does a swim in the infinity pool followed by a relaxing hour spent on a lounger at the beach club. But friends are visiting from abroad, and you want to treat them to something special. The Residences Team delivers by arranging a group outing: a boat trip to Jarada Island, the beautiful cay that’s considered Bahrain’s best-kept secret.  

Quick Break 

Send a message to the director of residences and their dedicated team (they’re available 24/7 via a WhatsApp chat or through the Four Seasons app) to check on final arrangements for dinner. 

Evening 

The reunion continues with drinks and snacks at the elegant Resident’s Lounge, where you introduce your friends to some of your neighbours. 

Dinner 

Your favourite concierge has Formula 1 tickets for you, but tonight calls for something more intimate with your friends, so the team arranges for a Four Seasons private chef to prepare dinner in your own home.  

Evening Entertainment 

The residents-only private cinema, just an elevator ride away, combines Hollywood glamour (red velvet seats, footrests, the latest audiovisual technology) with the comfort of home (popcorn and your favourite movie).  

Late Night 

Your guests have departed, and a final indulgence awaits. At 11 p.m., the Four Seasons spa opens for the Night Spa experience, a 60-minute aromatherapy couples’ massage, followed by private access to the indoor pool from midnight until 1 a.m. Chocolates, macarons, fresh berries, and a bouquet of roses complete the experience. The city sleeps, the water ripples in the background, and Bahrain Bay feels like it’s all yours.

Life on the Green: Golf Course Residences, Redefined

When you buy a Four Seasons Private Residence on or near a golf course, you’re not just getting a world-class golfing experience and jaw-dropping vistas, you’re also gaining access to a plethora of outdoor activities, award-winning restaurants, and sporting amenities for the whole family. Moreover, properties with their own golf courses tend to retain their value over time. Most important, time on the fairways fosters friendships and community—all in your own backyard. 

Here, we look at six Four Seasons Private Residences destinations where golf and the good life meet. 

The Residences at Naples Beach Club

Novices, meanwhile, can tee off at the family-friendly putting course, where state-of-the-art lighting allows for a new summer tradition, nighttime putting. End the day with a nightcap at The Shed, the clubhouse’s chic lounge and bar with a wrap-around porch and fire-pit, where you can compare bogeys and birdies to your heart’s content.

One of the many appeals of owning a Four Seasons Private Residence here is the proximity of the development to the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course, the Arabian Gulf’s first beachfront course, and also the first in the United Arab Emirates to be certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

Recently, the back nine was redesigned in partnership with Nicklaus Design, levelling up an already spectacular course.

Understated Luxury in Naples, Florida

Fans of Naples, Florida, are lured by its miles-long white-sand beaches, world-class golf courses, and high-end boutiques. And now there’s another reason to put down stakes in the Gulf Coast destination: This year, The Residences at Naples Beach Club will make its grand debut, following last year’s opening of Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort.

The Residences are the result of a collaboration between Four Seasons and Discovery Land Company, a premier global developer known for crafting considered luxury communities. Located in historic Old Naples, close to lively 5th Avenue and 3rd Street, the multi-building beachfront property is expansive (spanning 50 hectares) but feels intimate and community-minded—like an idyllic coastal village—thanks to thoughtful design. 

The Residences at Naples Beach Club
Beach or pool day? Why not both?

“The Residences at Naples Beach Club is setting a superior standard for luxury living and service, not just among Discovery’s diverse portfolio of international clubs, but within the Naples community. As we debut in the region, we’re excited to partner with Four Seasons to enhance both our legacies in offering high-end experiences and moments that last a lifetime,” said Mike Meldman, founder and chairman of Discovery Land Company.

The offerings consist of 58 Beachside Residences (distributed over three buildings) and 95 Golfside Residences (spread over five buildings). The latter units enjoy sweeping views of The Gardens, a new 18-hole golf course designed by world-renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio. Dense with beautiful lakes, native palms and tropical flora, the course channels a lush Old Florida landscape. Residents will delight in the precision hitting bays, comfort stations with grab-and-go fare, and The Shed, with its wraparound porch, bar and lounge, logo shop, and fire-pit area.

Indoor-outdoor living at its finest.

There will be no shortage of perks and experiences for non-golfers as well. All Residents have access to the beachfront Residents’ Beach Club (with indoor-outdoor dining, member lounge, spa, and fitness center) and Residents’ Beach House (featuring adult and family pools, a beachside concierge, and coastal cuisine offerings). And, of course, Residents will be able to avail themselves of the full spread of amenities at the Resort itself, among them six tennis courts; a standalone two-story, 2,800-square-metre spa that houses treatment rooms as well as Finnish saunas, vitality pools, cold plunge zones, experiential showers, and a rooftop pool; and five restaurants, including The Merchant Room (helmed by two-time James Beard Award-winner Gavin Kaysen), HB’s (for fresh regional seafood), and Sunset Bar (with a Latin-inspired cocktail and bites menu). The latter two are the only places to offer beachfront dining in all of Old Naples.

And then there is the Market Square, a cluster of retail, dining, and entertainment options designed to be a buzzy social hub for guests, Residents, and locals alike. Naples Trading Company, a coffee shop with sundries, beer and wine, and gifts, recently opened its doors at The Square. Currently under development are The Wager, a family-friendly sports gastro-pub (complete with game room and four bowling lanes), and a state-of-the-art movie theatre that will show first-run movies.
