Curving along the private island’s sun-drenched southern shore, the 160-metre expanse of pristine white sand is the ideal retreat for all the family. In addition to a dedicated play area where children can enjoy building sandcastles, parents and couples can look forward to a quieter zone, providing a tranquil haven to lounge in. Food will be served directly on the beach, and after dark, the new outdoor space will transform into a vibrant venue hosting torch-lit events. Set to open by this summer, The Four Seasons Beach will welcome hotel guests and spa members throughout the day at no additional charge.
