Four Seasons Resort Nevis

What the classifiers highlight

Opened in 1991 as the brand's first Caribbean resort, this remains laid-back by Four Seasons standards, its 50 villas holding artwork of the island's green vervet monkeys. Grounds run to four restaurants, four bars, a golf course and a spa with lava-rock waterfalls feeding plunge pools. Guests reach the hotel by an eighteen-minute speedboat ride from Christophe Harbour.
