Tahiti's Hidden Paradise

Located on the secluded Motu Tautau facing the vanilla fragrant island of Taha'a on one side and the magnificent silhouette of Bora Bora on the other, the resort inspired by Polynesian architecture and style, is a true South Pacific Hideaway.

The boutique-style decor of bamboo, exotic woods, stones, corals and woven coconut ropes creates a sense of barefoot luxury in paradise surroundings. Suspended above the lagoon, overwater bungalows feature a wrap-around deck with steps down to the crystal clear waters, while opening out to the white sands, Beach Villas secrete a sparkling plunge pool within their own walled tropical gardens and thatched roof cabanas.

Le Tahaa's restaurants provide a delicate and exotic culinary experience. Le Vanille is beautifully nestled among the trees, the Ohiri is the intermit gourmet and La Plage feet in the sand is the meeting place for lunch.

Surrounded by a crystal-clear lagoon featuring a magnificent coral garden ideal for drift snorkeling, Le Tahaa is at the center of this perfect marine playground.

Tranquility. Romance. Adventure.

Architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy created a hotel that makes the foliage and the flowers, the perfumes and the peaks, the sea and the bird song an integral part of your vacation experience. The estate encompasses 600 lush tropical acres bordering two soft sand beaches. Not only do you get a World Heritage Site anchored by the twin peaks on land, but the resort's two crystal-clear bays house colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish.

A dozen rooms are tucked in behind the coconut palms that line the beach and the remainder tiptoe up a flower decked hillside. To make the most of the panoramic views octagonal whitewashed cottages come with wraparound flower draped balconies and louvered windows. The extra-large deluxe and premium suites are visionary, innovative, and sometimes whimsical.

Guests can experience St. Lucia through the many available activities: yoga, snorkeling, scuba diving, tennis, sunset sailing, sea kayaking or jungle biking, hiking and bird-watching among the ruins of an 18th century colonial plantation.

Caribbean hospitality in a pristine setting

Four Seasons Resort Nevis preserves and pays homage to the island's rich heritage, culture and natural environment with architectural and design elements as well as dense tropical foliage. Built to resemble a Colonial Plantation home, the central, open-air lobby is reminiscent of a Great House found in the island's former plantations. The plantation chic guest rooms with mahogany furniture and photography of local scenes are in beachfront buildings with exteriors resembling traditional West Indian cottage-style homes with gingerbread trim. Keeping with Nevisian law, all buildings must be a maximum of two stories ensuring no structure rises above the height of a palm tree. The award winning spa in a lush tropical garden features therapeutic mountain views, golfers spot stone windmill remains by the second tee, and locally sourced cuisine plus herbs grown on property are woven into five restaurants on property. But the abundant Nevisian smiles, delicious rum drinks, and the predominantly Nevisian service professionals keep guests returning to enjoy authentic hospitality in this pristine setting.
