Four Seasons Resort Nevis Offers a Perfect Paradise to Study and Work from “Home”

With many schools and offices still on virtual schedules, Four Seasons Resort Nevis invites guests to study and work from home in paradise with the extended stay “workcation” and “schoolcation” programs. As an extension of the Resort’s Kids for All Seasons programming, the new schoolcation offerings provide kids remote learning support during school hours, followed by a daily after school program that includes a variety of active and educational activities. And while their children are studying, parents can enjoy quiet time to work from their guest room, villa, pool cabana or private beach hut before re-joining them after work for some quality family time.

Located on a 350-acre (140 hectare) playground on the naturally physically distant island of Nevis – it’s only 36 square miles (93 square kilometres) with a population of just 12,000 people! – Four Seasons Resort Nevis is a modern embodiment of the spirit and soul of the Caribbean. Reimagined and revitalised, but rooted in history and heritage, this beachfront oasis offers a captivating combination of adventure, discovery, serenity and recreation.

The Resort’s private island-like location, surrounded by the outdoors, naturally spacious layout and plethora of stand-alone Private Retreats accommodations provide an exclusive escape perfect for remote learning and working - coupled with fresh air, inspiring views and a relaxing, personalised home-away-from-home experience in a safe, comfortable environment.

New program highlights include:

Studying in the Sunlight

Learning can be fun when your Zoom background is the actual Caribbean Sea instead of just a virtual photo. We have designated The Hamilton Room as a supervised schoolwork session space for kids to sit away from distraction as they complete homework, projects or any other online lessons. The area will be kept to a small group classroom style set up, with no more than 10 children per class. The Hamilton Room features an airy and open space with a wall of windows for natural light, and a private terrace for outside break time. Each student will have a dedicated desk area, physically distanced from the other students. Kids can come for a half day, between 8:00 am and 12:00 noon, or full day, from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.*

After School Activities  

When class is complete, kids can take a break from the screen and enjoy the Caribbean sun with fun, supervised after school activities. From a variety of daily options**, ranging from active to cultural to educational, kids will spend the afternoon learning and playing in paradise.

Work From Home Away From Home

Our Private Retreats, the Resort's collection of luxury vacation homes, offer an intimate experience for those working from their “home away from home.” With all the amenities of home, personalised service and space to work and play, these villas offer everything that anyone could need while away. The Resort’s spectacular collection of more than 50 homes range from one to seven bedrooms and present breath-taking views of Nevis Peak, the Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course, lush gardens and the Caribbean Sea. In addition to their unique character, each villa also offers services and amenities including 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.

Or, for additional privacy, reserve one of our spacious beach cabanas, which can be transformed into private workstations with amazing ocean views.

Workers can enjoy our special Executive Lunch offerings through In Room Dining, as well as various early morning, mid-day or after-work activities** that can be enjoyed together as a family or for adults only, depending on your schedules.

Early Morning:

• Sunrise Yoga on the Pier: Stay fit, strong and healthy with a personalised yoga session on the pier with our trained instructors. You can opt for a private session as well in your villa. Complimentary local bush tea is available and a light pre-ordered, pre-packaged breakfast can be delivered to the pier after your session.
• Eco-Bio Golf: We recommend hitting a golf ball or two into the sea. In fact, our eco-bio golf balls are perfect for doing just that. These balls turn into fish food within 72 hours after hitting the ocean floor. Guests can have beach-side golf competition while feeding the ecosystem. Whether beginners or advanced enthusiasts, the entire family will get to enjoy practicing their swing on a mini beach driving range.

Mid-Day:

• Golf Clinics: Boost your confidence on the golf course and learn to master specific moves, strokes and reinforce the skills that you’ve learned by focusing on one specific aspect of the shot.

Join famed hot sauce maker Chef Llewellyn Clarke for a hot and spicy cooking class where you’ll create paw paw pepper sauce using the freshest ingredients that are abundant on the island. You'll even get to take your very own bottle home to show off your tasty creation.

After Work:

• Foot Golf: Get a whole new view of our championship golf course with a game of foot golf. Played similarly to golf, players kick a soccer ball instead of striking a golf ball, working toward a 21-inch (53 centimetre) "cup" in place of the usual golf hole. The player who finishes the course with the fewest shots wins!
• Fish Feeding: With hundreds of tropical fish swimming freely off the dock of our pier, it is certainly a fun and colourful site to see as they swim around.
• Sunset Happy Hour: Come to On the Dune Bar for a Happy Hour that's sure to be the highlight of the week. Enjoy 2-for-1 local beers, rum punch and a daily wine selection.
