On a step-back-in-time island where lovingly-restored plantation houses are the norm, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Four Seasons Nevis is a deviation from it. This sprawling international resort first made an appearance on the island in 1991 and whilst some traditionalists might have wondered whether this kind of glossy sophistication was appropriate, nowadays it only meets with universal approval.

Architecturally it blends in well with its sleeping island setting, four-mile-long Pinney’s Beach in the foreground and cloud-topped Nevis Peak its dramatic backdrop. Guests stay in 196 generous rooms or luxury suites that have been expertly styled with both their demanding occupants and West Indian location in mind – think mahogany beds, satellite TVs, DVD players, mini-bars and hairdryers.

Sporting amenities range from three freeform infinityedge swimming pools and ten tennis courts to a fitness centre, garden-style luxury spa and complimentary non-motorised water sports. Dining means an equally onerous choice between the light snacks of the Pool Cabana, the Italian favourites of Neve, the Nevisian specialities of Mango, and the Californian-with-an- Asian-twist cuisine of the Dining Room; the stunning views of the Caribbean Sea combining verywellwith the impeccable Four Seasons service.
