Where Four Seasons Does the Holidays Best

From a private night on a peak above Megève to Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai and a Christmas market on the Red Sea, Four Seasons has set its holiday programme.

Four Seasons has released its 2026 holiday programme, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, across its hotels, resorts and Four Seasons Yachts. “At Four Seasons, we believe these moments are most memorable when they feel personal,” said Marc Speichert, the company’s chief commercial officer.

Here are the stand-outs, by the kind of holiday you want.

For snow

  • Four Seasons Resort Megève: A Private Night at the Summit, a private suite nearly 2,000 metres up, with a butler, stargazing and first tracks on untouched slopes the next morning.
  • The Mountain Collection pairs skiing with food and wellness programmes; Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole is part of its winter line-up.

For sun

  • Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui: A Sea of Wonder, an ocean-themed Christmas on the island.
  • Four Seasons Resort and Residences Fort Lauderdale: a private yacht along the city’s canals, then dinner in its Michelin-recognized restaurants.
  • Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh: a Christmas market on Reef Beach by the Red Sea.

For a festival

  • Thailand’s Loy Krathong: at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, guests float handmade krathongs on the water, with Northern Thai food and performances.

For the décor

  • Paris, Los Angeles and Philadelphia: Creative Director Jeff Leatham’s festive installations at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris; Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills; and Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center.

For families

  • The Surf Club, Miami: in-room Christmas trees, decorated or ready to trim, and the New Year’s Eve party at the Champagne Bar, which also marks the club’s 1930 opening anniversary.
  • Kuda Huraa, Maldives: turtle feeding, marine discovery and coral restoration.
  • Lanai, Hawaiʻi: family aerial play and wellness games.

For a reset

  • Tamarindo, Mexico: a 3,000-acre nature reserve setting for a quieter end to the year.
  • Thanksgiving abroad: Anguilla and Costa Rica both host Thanksgiving for travellers who would rather not cook.

Plan it

  • Holiday weeks sell out first, especially ski-in suites and Maldives villas. Book now.
  • Loy Krathong falls in November; check the date for 2026 before booking.

For advisors

  • Who to pitch: multi-generation families for the Maldives, Lanai and Surf Club; couples for Megève’s summit night.
  • Upsell: the Megève night is a one-off add-on with a clear story for a ski week.
  • Canadians: Fort Lauderdale and Miami are the easy sun escapes; check Four Seasons’ mountain resorts for ski weeks closer to home.
