Four Seasons Hotel Astir Palace (Athens, Greece)
Greece's only Three Key Michelin hotel, a 30-hectare estate on the Athens Riviera with three private beaches, eight restaurants, and a glamorous 1960s history that drew Brigitte Bardot and Frank Sinatra. Reopened in 2019 after a comprehensive transformation, it merges the country's most iconic resort heritage with contemporary Four Seasons service.
Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River (Thailand)
A contemporary riverside tower in Bangkok's creative district, ranked 14th in the inaugural World's 50 Best Hotels and holder of two Michelin Keys, anchored by the Cantonese restaurant Yu Ting Yuan and a wellness centre with river views from every treatment room. The combination of cultural-district location, rotating art installations, and Four Seasons polish places it among the brand's finest.
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti (Tanzania)
A tented lodge on a granite kopje overlooking the Serengeti ecosystem, designed to feel immersed in the landscape rather than apart from it, with a watering hole directly below the main deck. Four Seasons' service infrastructure applied to a genuine big-five wildlife destination produces a rare combination of comfort and authenticity.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora (French Polynesia)
Overwater bungalows above a turquoise lagoon set against the extinct volcano of Mount Otemanu, with coral reef snorkelling accessible directly from the deck. The resort is the definitive Four Seasons expression in the Pacific and among the most photographed luxury resorts in the world.
Four Seasons Hotel Firenze (Florence, Italy)
Two Renaissance palaces within one of Florence's largest private gardens, with suites adorned with original 15th-century frescoes and a Michelin-starred restaurant steps from the Duomo. The 11-acre garden is a rare urban sanctuary, and the hotel earned a place in the World's 50 Best Hotels 2025.
Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel (French Riviera, France)
A century-old icon on a private peninsula above the Mediterranean, with a Gustave Eiffel-designed rotunda, six hectares of gardens, and a Michelin-starred Le Cap restaurant. The Palais de France distinction and three Michelin Keys confirm its standing as one of Europe's finest resort hotels.
Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai (Hoi An, Vietnam)
A beachfront resort of one- to five-bedroom villas along Ha My Beach between Hoi An and Da Nang, with three stacked infinity pools running toward the sea. Reflecting-pool pavilions, a riverside spa, and easy access to Hoi An’s lantern-lit old town define this central-Vietnam retreat.
Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo (Guanacaste, Costa Rica)
A hilltop resort straddling a narrow isthmus on the Papagayo Peninsula, with two beaches, an Arnold Palmer golf course, and rainforest full of howler monkeys and coatis. Reimagined rooms, a sprawling spa, and Pacific sunsets make it Costa Rica’s headline luxury address.
Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort (Punta Mita, Mexico)
An adults-only, all-inclusive tented retreat of just 15 luxury tents on a secluded Punta Mita headland, designed by Luis Bosoms. Private plunge pools, curated experiences, and a deeply personalized, chef-driven stay make it one of the most exclusive resorts in Mexico.
Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru (Baa Atoll, Maldives)
A UNESCO-designated marine biosphere in the Baa Atoll, where resident marine biologists lead guests to the world's largest concentration of manta rays and whale sharks. Overwater and island-garden villas, a COMO-standard spa, and the atoll's extraordinary reef ecology make it the most ecologically significant Four Seasons in the portfolio.
