Nevis, West Indies, 2021-Oct-06 — /Travel PR News/ — Four Seasons Resort Nevis, the award-winning Resort consistently ranked by travellers and travel experts as one of the top resorts in the Caribbean, has named Picco Alapatt as the new Executive Chef. A 20-year luxury hospitality veteran, Chef Alapatt hails most recently from the Gulf Court Hotel, Business Bay, the first property in Dubai for the renowned Gulf Hotel Group, Bahrain, where he served as executive chef since its pre-opening in 2018.

Furthermore, Chef Alapatt will be responsible for the culinary experiences of beach dinners, private villa dinners and individually personalised rum pairing menus for guests opting to enhance their dining experience with the property’s bespoke spirit from crowned monkey RUM BAR.
