Four Seasons Nevis: background
Nevis is a small Caribbean island 7 miles long and 5 miles wide, located 200 miles south of Puerto Rico and just west of Antigua, and known for its beautiful mountain and lush greenery.
Guests can fly from another island such as Puerto Rico or St. Maarten; check the http://www.nevisisland.com/]Nevis site for the latest about flights. Visitors can also take a ferry from St. Kitts.
The Four Seasons Resort Nevis has 196 spacious rooms and suites in 12 two-storey guest buildings; a golf course (Robert Trent Jones II) surrounds the property on three sides.
The AAA (American Automobile Association) rates over 50,000 properties and gives a Five-Diamond rating to less than 100; Four Seasons Nevis has often won this rating. The resort has also been among the top picks on lists by Condë Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and other prominent magazines.

Nevis is a nesting ground for endangered hawksbill, leatherback and green sea turtles. Four Seasons Resort Nevis has partnered with the Carib'n Conservation Corporation to "adopt a sea turtle" for each family checking in with kids 16 and under. Kids get a certificate, conservation guide, logo magnet, & more. The "adopted" turtles have been named and satellite tagged with transmitters for research. Back home, kids can track the migratory patterns of their turtle online via www.cccturtle.org.
