It’s been two months since Four Seasons officially opened the doors to its Orlando resort sprawled across 26.5 luxuriously designed and meticulously manicured acres. 443 rooms, many with views of the nightly fireworks at Magic Kingdom, provide the digs for a splurge-tastic staycation at what’s now the finest property within Walt Disney World’s 40 square miles. I could tell you about each luxe pampering and extravagant perk but I think these pics do a much better job of letting you know what’s in store. Rates from $449/night.
Arguably the best feature of this resort, the five-acre Explorer Island boasts a massive 7,590 square foot family pool, beach volleyball, outdoor movie screen, lazy river, Splash Zone, climbing wall, 2 waterslides and a video gaming centre.
While the Explorer Pool is considered the resort's ‘family pool,' there are loads of quiet spots, shady areas and luxe cabanas perfect for a quiet, sunny Florida day.
Lounge areas, like this one set alongside the lazy river, dot the expansive recreation area and give guests lots of room to spread out and enjoy some seclusion.
Not your typical lazy river, this one boasts quite a strong current, two waterfalls and a fun rapids area.
Snag a cabana (currently complimentary but that will soon change) and hunker down for a full day of relaxing and noshing gourmet bites (including lobster rolls) from the poolside restaurant, PB&G. Poolside service is impeccable regardless of where you sit, with servers offering jugs of ice water, snacks. fresh towels and SPF lotion continuously throughout the day.
Staff regularly surprise guests with complimentary surprises, such as gummy bears, Evian spritzes, sunglass cleanings, and frozen grapes, an ideal treat on a hot day.
The mega spa onsite is a haven of pampering thanks to a slew of decadent indulgences offered in the 18 treatment rooms and ultra private couples’ bungalows.
Parents looking for some “us time” at the Oasis Pool can drop kids off at the fully-supervised Kids for All Seasons program, a complimentary camp for guests ages 4 to 12 offered daily from 9am – 5pm.
Ravello restaurant and bar is the hotel's main dining spot until Capa opens later this month. Named for an Italian seaside town situated above the Amalfi coast, the restaurant offers modern Italian cuisine for breakfast and dinner.
