FOUR SEASONS Nevis

This Four Seasons was considered one of the region's best resorts until Hurricane Omar struck in October 2008, shutting it down for two years. But the damage has been fixed, and millions have been spent on a beautiful renovation that includes new rooms, new landscaping and new menus for three out of the four restaurants. This resort offers everything you expect from a Four Seasons, including a Robert Trent Jones II golf course, tennis courts, scuba diving, children’s activities and world-class service.
