There’s something new underfoot at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, where a series of interactive “Spa Sojourns†are taking travelers through a daylong discovery of rituals and remedies rooted in the environment and culture of this upscale Caribbean destination.
Begin your journey with an invigorating hike into the magnificent rainforest as a local bush guide illustrates the many uses of indigenous plants while sharing a few native secrets: fresh rosemary makes for a fragrant herbal bath (especially in the Four Seasons signature tubs) and love leaf steeps into a soothing bush tea, though lore has it that the love leaf must be pressed into a book if its love you’re actually looking for.
After a secluded West Indian organic picnic feast, hike home and retreat to the spa. In the outdoor gardens you can unwind by stringing together your trove of pocketed berries and plant seeds into a wearable souvenir while the Spa Director incorporates the rest of your morning’s haul into a bespoke treatment designed to complement your individual sojourn.
