Four Seasons hotels and resorts are some of the best luxury hotels in the world. In fact, we have already investigated the best Four Seasons hotels on Hawaii. Here we take in the whole world, which crucially, also has a beach.
For me, true happiness is when I walk alone on the beach through the coral sand, while the shallow turquoise water tickles my toes. Here are the best 5 resorts in the world to be engulfed in beach-lovers paradise.
Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hotels are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. This means that most Four Seasons hotel room rates generally start at $500 USD-$1000 USD per night and because they don’t have a Four Seasons loyalty program, you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them on a Four Seasons hotel stay. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and benefit from special rewards at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.
Four Seasons Lanai
Sorry, but Hawaii was always going to come top of my list and the Four Seasons Lanai sits on Manele Bay which is the most perfect beach you can imagine. This hotel is ultra-exclusive, being on its own island and is hard to beat.
Spend the day playing in the white sands of the secluded “Shipwreck Beach,” accessible only by 4×4 jeep, and snorkeling in the waters of Hulopoe Bay, a protected marine preserve. Then hike to Sweetheart Rock, 20 minutes from Four Seasons Resort Lanai, and stare into the glittering nighttime.
Our luxury travel concierge offers free upgrades, breakfasts & credit at all Four Seasons hotels.
Four Seasons Resort Anguilla
From hidden coves to long stretches of powdery sand, Anguilla is home to 33 breathtaking beaches. And with no cruise ships or casinos allowed, you’re promised a relaxing scene for unwinding. Bask in the low-key spirit of the British Overseas Territory while locals share their passion for boat racing, Caribbean music, and food.

With warm gulf waters, pristine white sands and tropical trees swaying inland, the Gulf of Papagayo is paradise. Four Seasons Costa Rica sits on a hillside by a picture-perfect beach and just up the peninsula from the Park Hyatt Papagayo. Find out our thoughts on the three best resorts in Papagayo.
