Landscaping

Four Seasons worked with EDSA landscaping firm to develop/enhance the 26-acre lakeside environment. There are 114 different plant species on the property, and a total of 1,140 trees.  A total of 49 trees were transplanted Live Oak trees, saved from where they once were planted on the golf course (Eagle Pines) which the resort was built upon. There are also 927 palm trees and 72,000 shrubs/ground covers. The abundant landscaping adds to the environment and provides a wonderful setting for native wildlife. 

Beekeeping Program

Four Seasons Resort Orlando launched a beekeeping program in May 2024. Four beehives have been installed in a dedicated area of land near the golf course grounds, with the aim of bolstering bee populations to support local ecosystems. Through nurturing their growth with nectar plants native to Central Florida including saw palmetto, the hives are producing a bountiful harvest of honey. The honey is used in various desserts, cocktails, breakfast dishes and more around the Resort. In addition, the Resort honey is used in The Spa’s signature Healing Honey Treatment.

Recycling

The resort has 10 recycling service stations at main pathways/entrance points throughout the resort and works with several companies to recycle products such as cardboard, wood pallets, metal hangers, and even food waste for compost programs. Four Seasons Resort Orlando has been a Clean the World Partner since 2017, donating 461,000 bars of soap, 200,000 pounds of plastic and 186,000 pounds of cardboard. With this support, Clean the World has diverted 44,533 pounds of waste and has created 138,737 new soap bars from this single property.*data as of January 2022

Green Design Features In-Room and Green Meetings Program

The resort’s guestrooms all feature high-efficiency light bulbs, and thermostats equipped with sensors to best control the HVAC when the room is occupied or vacant. Guests can opt to reduce water consumption through the resort’s water conservation program, where bed linens are not washed daily. All Four Seasons properties offer a Green Meetings program. The program allows meeting planners to select a variety of environmentally friendly options to create the most sustainable events possible. These can include: dry erase boards as opposed to paper flip charts, on-site recycling and paperless conference correspondence, using china and silverware instead of disposable utensils for meals, menus including a generous amount of locally grown fare and the donation of leftover decoration and display materials to local organizations. 

Electric Car Charging Stations

Four Seasons Resort Orlando offers eight Tesla charging stations and two General Electric car charging stations for the convenience of our guests who are driving an electric-powered car.  

Product Donation to Local Charities

Four Seasons Resort Orlando donates toiletry items to local charities including Clean the World, as noted above, and several homeless shelters. Linens (sheets, towels, blankets) that are no longer in circulation at the resort are donated to the Orlando Pet Alliance. Natural wine corks are donated to Whole Foods, who in partnership with Cork ReHarvest, transports (with a zero-carbon footprint system) the used corks to make post-consumer products such as children’s playground surfaces. With a recent renovation, numerous guestroom furnishings were donated to local charities.

Farm to Table/Dining

The resort’s Food & Beverage team strives to support local farmers and local food suppliers. The resort sources the freshest local seafood from Florida’s Bar Harbour seafood company. The resort also has worked with Lake Meadows Naturals farm in Ocoee, Florida or eggs and farms in Clermont, Florida for produce. Plancha restaurant has operated its own herb garden, and many herbs are featured in the restaurant’s craft cocktails and salads. Plastic straws have been eliminated throughout Four Seasons properties worldwide. Biodegradable paper straws are offered as an alternative. 

Ravello has Il Giardino Della Riviera Italiana, an organic Italian Riviera-style herb garden. The herb garden boasts a variety of aromatic herbs, including basil, rosemary, thyme, mint, marjoram and sage. The fresh herbs are incorporated into Ravello’s modern Italian recipes, enhancing the Resort's culinary offerings while promoting sustainability through local sourcing. 

Community Relations

Four Seasons Resort Orlando supports numerous worthy charitable causes in the form of in-kind donations for silent and live auctions, and event support. The resort’s restaurants, Capa and Ravello, have regularly supported local community events including the Windermere Wine & Dine and the Taste of Windermere, each benefitting local charities, as well as the American Cancer Society’s annual Cattle Baron’s Ball event. Each year, the resort supports the Spring Soiree event for Runway to Hope, benefiting children and families affected by pediatric cancer. This event is the single largest fundraising event in the Orlando area, typically raising more than USD 1 million in an evening. Numerous leaders serve on local boards and committees, including representation by both Public Relations and Catering on the Central Florida Women’s League, a non-profit organization that provides fundraising for Central Florida charities. In addition, over the years, the resort has provided volunteer hours for numerous charitable events and organizations, including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Light the Night Walk event, Give Kids the World, and many others.

In 2023, Four Seasons Resort Orlando hosted the inaugural Four Seasons Orlando Invitational, a two-day charity event in collaboration with Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida. The welcome reception included celebrity appearances, live music performances by Marc Roberge of O.A.R., and G. Love., and a silent and live auction, all under a canopy of sparkling lights on the Resort’s event lawns. The second day of the event included foursomes paired with a celebrity player, enjoying a friendly tournament on the Resort’s 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course. This event raised more than USD 235,500 to support pediatric cancer research.
