ISLAND ELEGANT ESCAPE
THE FOUR SEASONS
RESORT & RESIDENCES ANGUILA
Some destinations speak in whispers. Anguilla, the jewel of the British West Indies, is one of them—a quiet paradise where turquoise waters lap gently against sugar-soft sand, and time seems to stretch in the warm Caribbean sun. But nestled along the island’s pristine northwestern coast, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla doesn’t whisper. It exudes a quiet confidence—a sophisticated rhythm that blends island soul with world-class luxury.


THE ART OF SEASIDE LIVING
Designed by renowned architect and interior designer Kelly Wearstler, the resort is a masterclass in Caribbean chic. Think sleek marble floors, sculptural lighting, and a palette that echoes the island’s natural beauty—sands, corals, seafoam blues. Whether you’re staying in a one-bedroom ocean-view suite or one of the spectacular five-bedroom beachfront villas, the common thread is a seamless integration of comfort, privacy, and style.
Residences are expansive and bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open to panoramic views of the ocean. Private pools, gourmet kitchens, and spa-inspired bathrooms are standard fare here, but it’s the thoughtful details—custom woodwork, handcrafted art, curated wine selections—that set the tone for something truly special.

WELLNESS, WONDER & WARMTH
Wellness here isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifestyle. The spa offers beachside massages, Ayurvedic treatments, and customized wellness journeys that feel indulgent and restorative all at once. The fitness center is fully equipped for those who like to sweat in style, and for something more adventurous, guests can explore yoga on the bluff, guided snorkeling tours, or paddleboarding across the crystal-clear bay.
Families, couples, and solo travelers all find their rhythm at Four Seasons Anguilla. There’s a Kids For All Seasons program for younger guests, while adults can enjoy live music under the stars, pop-up fashion boutiques, or romantic dinners by torchlight. And if you’re lucky enough to own one of the private residences, the personalized service extends beyond vacation—it becomes part of your lifestyle.


WHERE LUXURY FEELS PERSONAL
What sets this resort apart, even beyond its design and amenities, is the team’s unwavering commitment to personalized service. It’s not just hospitality—it’s a genuine warmth. The staff remembers your name, your favorite morning juice, and how you like your beach lounger set up. It’s the kind of care that turns a luxury getaway into a lifelong memory.
For New Yorkers looking for an island that delivers relaxation with refinement, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla is a sublime escape. It’s where the horizon stretches forever, the sea breeze always finds you, and every detail is imbued with island grace.
In other words, it’s everything a true escape should be—and everything a New Yorker deserves. For more information, please visit fourseasons.com/Anguilla
Helping to serve this college town’s need for beer is Trail Life Brewing, which combines house-brewed beers with an eclectic choice of foods, from burgers to curries to Bahn-mi sandwiches, while the quirky and fun scene at Highlands Distillery includes their gin, vodka, rum and whiskey house-created spirits, served up by outdoor fireplaces, inside a yurt and in a more traditional bar setting. Try their Whipped Painkiller and the Blarney Stone cocktails, and make sure to have a designated driver.
And then there’s Enstrom Candies, that little slice of heaven on earth, where the family-owned factory and store have been creating toffee perfection since 1960. If you’ve never tasted their famous Almond Toffee (we’re partial to the dark chocolate version), you’ve got to stop by for a sample. But be warned, you’re probably going to be carrying at least a pound of that incomparable sweet treat home in your carry on.
Do remember to look out the plane’s window again as you go, for the views are even more spectacular once you’ve been immersed in this Western Colorado wonderland and understand just how great it truly is.
