At Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla, the holiday season unfolds as a vibrant, multi-week celebration that extends from Thanksgiving through the New Year, bringing together acclaimed culinary talent, wellness experts, athletes and entertainers in a programme designed to inspire connection and create memorable moments.
The season begins with opportunities to embrace both movement and restoration. Former ATP professionals Nick Monroe and Donald Young lead a series of tennis and pickleball clinics for players of all levels, while wellness practitioner Miss Lymph offers personalised treatments focused on recovery, rejuvenation and wellbeing ahead of the festive season. Thanksgiving celebrations centre around the resort's annual holiday dinner at SALT, where traditional favourites are complemented by local Caribbean influences against an oceanfront backdrop.
As the festive season gathers momentum, a rotating roster of celebrated chefs and mixologists brings fresh perspectives to the resort's culinary experiences. Guests can discover contemporary Korean-inspired cuisine from Esther Choi, explore Latin-influenced flavours from returning chef Mika Leon, and enjoy immersive food and beverage experiences shaped by some of the industry's most creative talents. A cocktail residency led by acclaimed bartender Valentino Longo further enriches the programme, introducing guests to new techniques, stories and flavour profiles throughout the holiday period.
The celebrations culminate with a dynamic New Year's Eve programme, where exceptional dining, live entertainment and fireworks create a festive atmosphere overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Grammy-nominated DJ A-Trak headlines the evening alongside trumpeter Spencer Ludwig, bringing an energy that feels both celebratory and distinctly Anguillan.
Throughout the season, family-friendly activities, fitness programming and wellness experiences ensure that every generation can find its own way to celebrate. The result is a thoughtful blend of relaxation, discovery and joyful gathering, capturing the warmth of the holidays while showcasing the laid-back sophistication that defines the Anguilla experience.

Back at the resort, guests can step into the role of winemaker themselves, creating and bottling personal blends at Elusa, the property's on-site winery, or explore pairings designed around local chocolates and estate wines.
