Four Seasons has unveiled its global festive programme for 2026, bringing together seasonal experiences across hotels, resorts and Four Seasons Yachts. The portfolio ranges from winter mountain stays and island celebrations to wellness programmes, cultural traditions and New Year voyages at sea.
The group is positioning the season around connection and personalised experiences rather than one standard holiday format. That approach allows each property to interpret the festive period through its own destination, culture and landscape.
Mountain properties focus on privacy and winter access
Four Seasons Mountain Collection is building its winter programme around skiing, dining and wellness, with several properties adding more private experiences. At Four Seasons Resort Megève, guests can book a private night at the summit with a dedicated butler, stargazing and privileged early access to untouched slopes.
Other alpine properties are using winter sport as only one part of the stay, adding spa rituals, private dining and family activities. This gives mixed groups more flexibility when some guests want intensive skiing while others prefer a slower programme.
Warm-weather resorts offer a different festive rhythm
For travellers trading snow for sunshine, Four Seasons is developing programmes across its coastal and island properties. Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is creating an ocean-inspired festive setting, while Fort Lauderdale pairs waterfront experiences with private-yacht excursions and Michelin-recognised dining.
The contrast between alpine and tropical destinations is useful for travellers planning longer December breaks. It allows families to choose between classic winter traditions and a warmer resort-led holiday while remaining within the same hospitality portfolio.
Wellness and cultural traditions run through the season
Properties in Thailand are incorporating Loy Krathong traditions, while resorts in the Maldives and Lanai are adding marine discovery, family wellness and shared activities. These programmes use local culture and destination-specific experiences rather than relying only on decorations and gala dinners.
Four Seasons is also emphasising restorative experiences during the busiest part of the year. Jackson Hole, for example, is adding winter-solstice yoga, fireside reflection and a New Year recovery lounge with oxygen therapy and IV hydration.
Four Seasons Yachts extends the programme to sea
The festive campaign now extends beyond land-based hotels and resorts through Four Seasons Yachts. Guests can welcome 2027 while sailing through the Caribbean, with Champagne at midnight, a Yacht Club Day at Norman’s Cay and a Fresh Start Marina Day in the Bahamas.
For LYG readers, that sea-based element makes the 2026 programme particularly relevant. It links luxury hospitality, resort stays and yachting within one seasonal portfolio and gives travellers a way to combine time ashore with a high-end cruising itinerary.
