Four Seasons Anguilla has opened after a US$10m refurbishment, featuring interiors by Kelly Wearstler, restaurants by Gabellini Sheppard Associates, and an expansion of the wellness facilities and offerings.

Set on 35 acres (14 hectares), the resort was formerly the Viceroy Anguilla resort, and includes a two-storey, 8,100sq ft (753sq m) beachfront spa with views of Meads Bay.

The spa features 13 indoor treatment rooms, three spa cabanas, three facial rooms and two couples’ spa rooms, and offers the company’s “Spa Everywhere” concept, where signature massage, body and skincare treatments are offered inside the spa, in the fresh air of a spa cabana, or in a guest’s room.

Four Seasons Resort Anguilla has expanded its fitness facilities in consultation with fitness expert Harley Pasternak to include a larger, 24-hour gym plus spaces for spin classes, yoga and Pilates. On the beach, the Sea Centre is headquarters for non-motorised water sports including sea kayaking, snorkelling and paddleboarding.

Sports facilities include the island’s only regulation-size basketball court as well as a rock climbing area suitable for guests of all ages and abilities.

The spa treatment menu ranges from the indulgent to the therapeutic and results-driven. Spa Manager Murielle Henneigen particularly recommends the Anguilla Trilogy, described as a three-step massage journey toward internal harmony.

The renovation also includes all new lighting design by Bouyea & Associates, who were charged with creating an updated look throughout the hotel, which was originally opened in 2010.
