History
Four Seasons Resort Nevis opened on February 14, 1991 — the first Four Seasons resort in the Caribbean, only the second in the Americas, and the first five-star property in the entire Caribbean region. Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp described Nevis as "an unknown that wasn't on anyone's radar screen" at the time of opening. From day one, General Manager John Stauss prioritized local hiring; today 95% of the staff are Nevisian. The resort underwent a major renovation in 2019, emerging with 189 reimagined rooms and suites.
The setting
The resort is built on the western coast of Nevis at Pinney's Beach, on the site of a former sugar cane plantation — Nevis once produced 20% of the British Empire's entire sugar yield. The 350-acre grounds, extending from the lower slopes of Nevis Peak to the beachfront, retain remnants of sugar-era architecture; the island is also the birthplace of U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. 9 km from Vance W.
