Expanding the Four Seasons presence in the Caribbean, their new resort is located on the small, exclusive island of Anguilla – casual yet chic, with no casinos and no cruise ships.

This contemporary resort offers 166 guest rooms, suites and villas, including more than 80% with sea views. Most accommodations are two- to five-bedroom villas, providing perfect options for multi-generational travel. Four restaurants and lounges overlook the beachfront. Amenities include a seaside spa, a sports pavilion, three heated outdoor pools and nearly a kilometre (over half a mile) of white sand. Events unfold in 1,220 square metres (13,127 square feet) of flexible indoor and outdoor space, with the largest venue at 424 square metres (4,560 square feet).
