Luxury of the Workcation

Posted on January 11, 2021January 21, 2025 by Alycee Byrd

You don’t have to wait for vacation to reward yourself with sunset treks on a deserted beach, fresh tracks at a ski resort or private cooking classes with a Michelin-starred chef.

Workcations have emerged as one of the top travel trends for 2021 – and for good reason: They allow us long-term stays in beautiful destinations with the benefits of work-life balance.

Four Seasons makes working from paradise even easier with services and amenities, including professional IT support, poolside Screen Doctors and office beach cabanas. Make the most of flexible schedules by getting away with friends or family and indulging your passions, with choices like skiing, golf, diving and relaxing on the beach.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies

Who hasn’t dreamed of working from a Caribbean island? Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies, makes the dream achievable with new perks such as executive lunch offerings and beach cabanas that can be converted to private workstations with ocean views. The Resort’s collection of more than 50 homes ranges from one to seven bedrooms each, so you can come with colleagues or bring the family and take advantage of the Resort’s new “schoolcation” programs. With dedicated ambassadors for daily needs or special requests, custom-tailored pre-arrival provisioning services, private in-home experiences, and full access to all Resort services and amenities, you’ll have more time for both work and play.

Start your day with a personalized sunrise yoga session overlooking the sea, and use your midday break to master a new skill during a golf clinic or hot-sauce–making class. Leaving out a long commute means more time after work to play foot golf on the Resort’s new championship course and enjoy sunset happy hour at On the Dune.

Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong

If you’ve dropped into Hong Kong for business before, you probably didn’t have time to discover the city’s multifaceted cultural scene and fantastic hiking trails. Now is an ideal opportunity to explore beyond the board room.

The new Escape to Reconnect room package at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong beckons travellers to come for a workcation with 25 percent off room rates, inclusive of daily breakfast, and an additional 10 percent off in-room dining and The Lounge. Based on Hong Kong’s storied Victoria Harbour, you have a front-row view of all of the action. Before you power on your laptop, get out for a run along the waterfront or a swim in the Hotel’s outdoor lap pool.

Need to relax after video calls? Turn to the Hotel’s self-guided meditation app to help calm your mind and reset, or roll out your in-suite yoga mat for a few rounds of sun salutations. The talented therapists at the Spa are on call to help you achieve mind-body balance during your stay. Activate your creative side with an art therapy session, or shut down the laptop early to enjoy a half-day Well Feeling spa ritual that includes a guided meditation, a massage, a facial and a nutritious lunch on the pool terrace.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler

Embrace mountain living at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler. Framed by evergreen forests at the base of Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, the Resort puts you steps from the slopes, making it easy to field work calls from the gondola or sneak in first tracks ahead of the workday.

All rooms feature desks, seating areas or dining tables, plus balconies so you can enjoy an alpine view as you take video video calls. Short-term meeting room rentals are complimentary, and audiovisual support is always a call away. The Resort’s Ski Concierge can handle all of your mountain logistics, from ski rentals and fittings to guides and lessons. After a day on the slopes, soak in the heated outdoor pool or one of three hot-spring–style whirlpools.

Then either retreat to your room for an in-residence slow-cooker feast or dine at one of the Resort’s two reimagined restaurants. SIDECUT, its fireside steakhouse, has been newly renovated and features prime hand-cut steaks seasoned with Chef’s Classic Rubs, and Braidwood Tavern has been designed to evoke the warmth of a family mountain cabin.

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita

Fresh off a multi-year, multimillion-dollar renovation, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is a 52-acre coastal respite. Sprawling beaches, large pools with pre-reserved loungers, two Jack Nicklaus–designed golf courses and winding nature trails give guests plenty of ways to enjoy nature without having to join a crowd. And Four Seasons App and Chat technology gives guests the option of contactless engagement with Four Seasons team members. The Resort’s Villa & Residence Rentals makes working from a private hacienda-style villa or beach home a breeze. A personal host is dedicated to taking care of every detail throughout guests’ stays, from groceries upon arrival to special in-villa activities like poolside yoga sessions or tequila tastings.

Three-, four- and five-bedroom villas and beach homes are ideal for family getaways. While Mom and Dad work, kids can enroll in the Resort’s Schoolcations program. Hire a professional tutor to help your kids with chemistry and algebra, or rent the kids a study cabana outfitted with Wi-Fi, headphones, and energizing snacks like smoothies and popsicles. Travel can be the best learning opportunity: Spanish classes, folkloric ballet lessons and other activities immerse kids in Mexican culture, and sea foraging and sea turtle release excursions double as environmental education classes. At day’s end, families can come together on their private patio and grilling area, savour a seafood barbecue, and take a dip in their private pool.

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

A sanctuary that feels truly away from it all, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is the perfect setting for you to restore the mind, rejuvenate the body and refocus while working. A multimillion-dollar enhancement has made the Resort even more attractive for longer stays and family getaways.

A new bungalow consisting of six oceanfront guest rooms, including a suite with a private pool, will be built adjacent to Kumukea Beach on the Resort’s northern edge, and the top three villas at the Resort – Hawaii Loa, Makaloa and Ho‘onanea – will each acquire a second storey.

The golf experience will be taken to the next level with the addition of the Hualalai Golf Hale. This 3,000-square-foot (275-square-metre) instruction and practice facility doubles as an entertainment venue with games, audiovisual flexibility, and food and beverages. Up-to-the-minute technology and expert instruction make it the ultimate destination for golf enthusiasts of all ages.

The Resort makes it easy to maintain or enhance your fitness routine. Two private fitness studios can be reserved for personal training sessions or one-on-one yoga classes, and throughout the year the Resort offers sports camps led by elite athletes such as triathlete Dave Scott. You can reward your efforts with a Lomi Lomi massage in one of the spa’s 18 outdoor treatment rooms. The Resort’s creative programming gives the whole family new skills and knowledge to take home. A dedicated Culinary Academy will be added above ULU Ocean Grill + Sushi Lounge, hosting interactive cooking experiences and guest chefs. And the newly renovated King’s Pond now has a dedicated Marine Activity Center where the Resort’s five on-site marine biologists run educational pastimes like feeding fish.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

You don’t have to be a ski bum to live out your fantasy of hitting the slopes every day. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail has introduced a new Extended Stay package that allows guests to work, stay, play and après. The 24 private residences in the Resort’s Villa & Residence Rental portfolio include two to six bedrooms. Fresh mountain air combined with the pristine natural beauty of the White River National Forest create a scene both relaxing and energizing. In addition to the epic mountain adventures for families including skiing, riding, sleigh rides, dogsledding and snowshoeing, the Resort also has a Kids For All Seasons room and dedicated Teen Centre.

Four Seasons Resort Vail is home to the premier après location in Vail, The Remedy Bar. With high-top seating, tables and chairs, couches near the fireplace, and firepits on the terrace, The Remedy is an excellent place to get work done between ski runs while taking in unmatched views of Vail Mountain. “It’s an ideal time to come to the Colorado Rockies, enjoy the fresh mountain air, relax, revive, and enjoy time with their friends and families in this sublime alpine location,” General Manager Meredith Macfarlane says. “The dedication and commitment of our exceptional staff, combined with their passion for Vail, create a familial atmosphere that allows our guests to feel as if they are at home, and an extension of our family here at the Resort.”

The Healing Power of Sleep

Posted on August 18, 2020June 3, 2025 by Alycee Byrd

There’s a good reason we spend up to a third of our lives in bed: a direct link between sleep and health.

Long before science confirmed the health benefits of sleep, cultural traditions around the world recognized the healing properties of rest. For instance, Ayurvedic medicine, a centuries-old practice rooted in India, links overall happiness with your quality and quantity of sleep, says Dr Michael Breus, a Los Angeles–based clinical psychologist and fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

If standard sleep hygiene practices like limiting screen time, caffeine and alcohol before bed aren’t working for you, ensure your space is optimized for sleep – our signature collection has been refined over decades in partnership with experts – and try embracing some of these rituals from cultures around the globe.

India

The practice of Ayurveda embraces the idea that each person has a unique constitution made up of three doshas (energies): vata, pitta and kapha. It would follow that each of us has different sleep habits, Breus says. In Ayurvedic medicine, sleep problems often arise from an imbalance of energies in the body. Insomnia is caused by excess vata and pitta energies. Excess kapha is associated with oversleeping. And when pitta is out of balance it can lead to intense dreaming. Learning your dominant dosha by working with an Ayurvedic practitioner can provide insight into your sleep habits.

“In Ayurveda, nidra (sleep) is considered to be one of the three key pillars of life,” says Sunil Narang, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. “Ayurvedic bodywork is an ancient, powerful tool to achieve a state of well-being by bringing forth a harmonious balance of body, mind and soul.” The Spa at the Hotel offers two Ayurvedic treatments that aid in a good night’s sleep. Uzhichil is performed on the traditional Ayurvedic wooden massage table. This ancient technique uses warm, medicated Triphala oil in long, soothing strokes to relieve aching muscles and encourage sound sleep. The classic Ayurvedic therapy Shirodhara commences with a relaxing back and shoulder massage, followed by a warm oil poured on the forehead.

“Herbal oil being gently poured over the forehead in a steady stream or flow is a widely practiced treatment in Ayurveda that helps in improving sleep quality,” Narang says. “It is typically used to relax the nervous system and treat stress, anxiety and insomnia.”

Egypt

Ancient Egyptians used to soak their blankets in water before bed to keep cool at night. “Lowering the body temperature at night helps you fall asleep and stay asleep,” Breus says. “Rising temperature signals the body to move into a state of alertness in the morning.” If you’re going to take a hot shower, do it two to three hours before bed so your body has time to cool. To follow up, he suggests a cooling mattress pad and quality sheets and blankets: “Natural fibres are best and most comfortable.”

As for those wet blankets, though it may be hard to imagine finding them comforting, Breus says the weight of a soaked blanket could induce a sense of calm: “Studies have shown that weighted blankets help reduce anxiety and stress and can create a sense of relaxation that helps people fall asleep.”

Inspired by ancient Egyptian body rituals, the Cleopatra Bath Ritual at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is a luxurious milk bath. Honey, rose petals and essential oils soothe and ease muscle tension and prepare the body for a massage and a peaceful, deep sleep.

China

Scientific studies have shown a direct benefit for sleep from reflexology, an ancient form of touch therapy in which pressure is applied to points on the body. “Pressure points also connect to different physiological functions, including sleep,” Breus says. Specific reflex points related to sleep include the top of the toes, a point on the outer side of the big toe, the ridges of the toes and a point at the ball of the foot.

In addition to reflexology techniques, the Spas at Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen and Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake use a massage oil based on eaglewood, the dark resinous heartwood of Aquilaria trees. “Eaglewood was prized in ancient China for its calming qualities,” says Nicole Ni, Spa Supervisor at Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen. “We use it in our spa treatments to help relax and alleviate stress, resulting in calmer and longer sleep.”

Bali

Studies show a 30-minute afternoon nap combined with moderate exercise in the evening helps improve sleep. “There’s a biological reason you’re usually tempted to take naps in the afternoon,” Breus says. “Our bodies are designed to take long stretches of sleep at night, followed by a brief midday rest. The best time to take a nap is between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, when your body temperature drops and your melatonin levels rise.” Nappers, he says, reap the benefits of greater concentration, enhanced memory, better mood and improved physical performance.

Ibu Fera, Wellness Mentor at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, created a signature experience called The Sacred Nap. Instead of snoozing in bed or in a poolside lounger, you’re suspended from the ceiling of the bamboo Dharma Shanti Bale in an aerial silk hammock, cocooned in the tranquillity of the Sayan Valley. You’ll feel your entire body relax and rock gently to sleep in the womblike cocoon as Fera tells you a bedtime story about the life of Buddha. “I was inspired to create the Sacred Nap while I was rocking my own baby to sleep,” Fera says. “Most of us have forgotten how good it felt to be rocked to sleep and have somebody read you a bedtime story or sing a lullaby. I combine this with telling the life story of Buddha and chanting various mantras that I learned when I was a Buddhist nun for seven years. The soothing sound of the singing bowl offers more sacred energy for this experience.”

Mexico

In many parts of the world, dreamtime is a special place where the body and mind go on a healing journey. Luis Molina, Spa Director at Apuane Spa at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, says the Sueño (Dream) Journey is based on the ancestral belief that we live two lives – one while awake and one while dreaming – with a strong connection between the two. This 100-minute ritual replicates the dream sequence, creating a harmonious and peaceful experience.

At Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas™, the Spa’s signature Restore Your Mind treatment balances energy points and chakras by utilizing relaxing massage techniques during a full-body exfoliation. The treatment ends with Shirodhara – the Ayurvedic pour of warm herbal oil onto the forehead’s “third eye” chakra – followed by a gentle scalp massage, inviting a sense of holistic balance and inner peace. “A good night’s sleep is the foundation of overall well-being,” says Lina Morales, Spa Director at the Resort. “It allows the body to recover and cells to renew, and it improves the immune system – which is especially important right now.”

Bringing Home the World

Posted on May 17, 2020May 20, 2021 by Alycee Byrd

Experienced travellers know that the best trips don’t end when you arrive home; instead, the journey continues as you reflect on your experiences. That’s one reason we bring home souvenirs – tangible reminders of new destinations, cultures and connections.

Here, Four Seasons experts share some of their favourite ways to explore, plus the souvenirs you can’t go home without.

Vibrant Fabrics in Kyoto

“Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, is one of the most useful souvenirs you could take home,” says Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto Manager Katsuyuki Takahashi. “Furoshiki are eco-friendly, and their designs and uses are endless. Use one to wrap a wine bottle or gift you’re bringing home from one of the many shops in Kyoto, or partake in the Japanese tradition of tsutsumu – the wrapping of goods to respect and protect them. Head to Karakusaya, a furoshiki specialty shop just a short train ride from the Hotel, where they occasionally hold wrapping classes.”
