Winter has a way of bringing out the best in a destination, and in the hands of Four Seasons, that season becomes something remarkable.

Whether it is the hush of a mountainside, the warmth of a tropical lagoon, or the quiet privacy of an island resort, each Four Seasons property offers a distinct way to experience winter at its most refined.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler

Whistler in winter is a world of alpine quiet and dramatic beauty. Snow-covered forests, clear skies, and fresh mountain air create the backdrop for one of the most celebrated ski destinations in the world. Four Seasons Whistler takes this natural wonder and elevates it with a subtle, luxurious touch.

Why winter in Whistler:

Suites that feel like their own mountain hideaways, complete with fireplaces, deep tubs, and wide window views of snow-covered peaks.

• A ski concierge that transforms the slopes into a frictionless experience, from warmed boots to gear waiting for you at the base.
• A spa designed for winter restoration, where hydrotherapy pools and quiet treatment rooms soften the pace of the day.
• Dining that leans into British Columbia’s alpine character, celebrating coastal ingredients and mountain produce with subtle finesse.
• A festive season shaped by intimate moments rather than spectacle, creating a sense of warmth that feels genuinely Whistler.
  
  

Four Seasons Whistler is where world-class skiing meets an understated kind of luxury, the sort that favours sincerity over performance. The atmosphere is open and welcoming, shaped by staff who greet every guest with the same easy warmth, whether you arrive as a couple, a family, or part of the queer community. It is a place where the mountains feel close, the service feels effortless, and winter settles in with a quiet confidence that defines the entire stay.

Four Seasons Kyoto

Kyoto in winter is breathtaking. Snow rests lightly on temple roofs, gardens fall into soft stillness, and the old streets of Higashiyama carry a quiet beauty that stays with you long after you leave. Four Seasons Kyoto mirrors this serenity with a design language of glass, gardens, and soft light.

Why it stands out:

• An 800-year-old pond garden that turns ethereal in winter light, where pathways, bridges, and mirror-like water create a cinematic spectacle.
• Rooms and suites that are designed with a calm, spacious elegance, blending natural textures and soft seasonal colours.
• A spa rooted in Japanese wellness traditions, offering distinctly local treatments.
• A sense of privacy and quiet that holds steady even in Kyoto’s busiest moments.
• Quick, easy access to the city’s temples, tea houses, and winter illuminations, allowing you to experience the city at your own pace.
  
  

Four Seasons Kyoto is for travellers who want to experience everything Kyoto has to offer without the rush and chaos a city might bring. It’s a true winter retreat. The season feels thoughtful and atmospheric, the perfect counterbalance to days spent wandering Kyoto’s temples, markets and streets.

Four Seasons Seychelles

The Seychelles is a naturally luxurious destination. Even the name flows off the tongue in a unique, special way. It’s a landscape full of contrasts, with white beaches blending effortlessly with turquoise blue waters and green, verdant forest.  Four Seasons Seychelles sits high above Petite Anse, taking advantage of its elevated position to give each villa a sense of privacy and sweeping ocean views.

• A crescent of quiet beach that feels secluded even in December, with soft sand and calm water.
• Thoughtful, intuitive service that supports deep rest, from in-villa dining to personalised wellness rituals.
