Luxury beach houses with butler service offer snorkelling gear sized to fit and room service delivered right to the front deck.
2013-03-25 — /travelprnews.com/ — It’s not just another day at the beach when guests of Four SeasonsResort Nevis check into their own private Beach House on the Resort’s famed stretch of Pinney’s Beach.
Just steps from the water’s edge, four gingerbread-trimmed cottages invite sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea and Nevis’s sister island of St. Kitts. Ideal for cozy couples or friends and families of up to five people, beach houses are available for daily rentals from the morning rise to sunset.
In a nod to the region’s rich history and culture, the cabanas resemble Nevisian homes with names inspired by native music and dance: Calypso, Merengue, Reggae and Soca. For privacy, the freestanding, 200-square-foot (18.5 square metre) retreats are secluded by lush tropical landscaping.
The cabanas feature a covered living room with couch, dining table nook, minibar, telephone (room service please!), and an open-air sun deck with loungers. Other creature comforts include a complete entertainment centre including a flat screen TV, DVD player, video on demand and iHome station.
Beach House dwellers enjoy the daylong service of a beach butler, a seasoned attendant who delivers everything from a friendly smile to tropical rum drinks and snorkelling gear. An array of amenities refresh guests, from cooling mists and chilled aromatherapy towels to fresh coconut water and sorbets featuring seasonal flavours. An old-fashioned flag pole system ensures unobtrusive service, giving guests the option to wave their red “Do Not Disturb” flag or green light it for non-stop pampering.
Nevisian beach butler Roslyn Jeffers says that a visit to her homeland is not complete without some “liming,” an island pastime she explains as the “the simple art of doing nothing.” To help guests idle the day away, Jeffers and her co-butlers offer a mini library of guiltless pleasures including board games, movies, books and magazines.
With shelter in place, Jeffers and team highly recommend fresh, local food as next on the plate for beach house denizens. “Our guests need healthy fuel for all that free style swimming, snorkelling and stand-up paddle boarding that await them at the shoreline.”
In keeping with the Resort’s moveable feast theme, guests may order room service right to their lounge chairs or request a delivery from the Resort’s nearby pop-up Roti Shack or Hideaway Grill featuring grilled Nevisian specialties. The butler also serves a menu from the Cabana restaurant, which highlights international favourites from lobster salads to jerk chicken sandwiches, sushi and ceviche, and American standbys such as a burger and fries.
