Once the rush of festive season settles down, making time to reflect becomes a little easier. What’s in store for the year ahead? If you ask us, there’s no better place to gather your thoughts than in the warm, relaxing embrace of a perfectly drawn bath. Better still – make that a bathtub with an unforgettable view. At Four Seasons, the simple yet grounding experience of a bath gets elevated to new heights.
Look out onto Petite Anse bay from your hillside tub in the Seychelles, relax in a hand-hammered copper bathtub set among the treetops in the Golden Triangle, or sip champagne as you gaze out on a historic garden in Florence from your free-standing marble tub. Whatever your view of choice, the result is bound to be relaxation and clarity. These tubs will have you dreaming of your next stay with Four Seasons.
Ocean views in the Seychelles
Whether you’re feeling jet-lagged or simply tired after a long day in the hot sun, the large sunken bathtub in your private villa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is the ideal spot to recover and recharge – with a little help from a personal attendant from the Resort’s Le Syel Spa, who can time your bath to coincide with the sunset over Petite Anse Bay. Immerse yourself in the flavours of the island with the Mahé treatment – a soak in coconut and mango milk and cinnamon essence – or opt for the Indulgence treatment: a chocolate-scented bath accompanied by a bowl of melted chocolate.

After an adventurous day trekking through the jungle, soothe aching muscles with a bath in a hand-hammered copper tub at the treetop-fringed Spa at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Take in breathtaking views of River Ruak and the expansive bamboo forest as you splash in water enhanced with mountain botanicals, invigorating body and spirit, set to a soundtrack of birds singing nearby.
An artful take in Florence
The bathtub is the star of your art-filled bathroom at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. Sip champagne in your free-standing marble tub filled with delicately scented bubbles, gazing up at frescoed ceilings, a Renaissance courtyard or out onto the lush garden. In the Conti Renaissance Suite, some of the frescoes in the bathroom represent the Temple of the Seven Virtues seen in the Hotel garden. But no matter which room you’re staying in, bath time here is a feast for the eyes.

When the views are this beautiful, you’ll want to do everything outdoors. And the Deluxe Room with Outdoor Spa Tub at Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina let you do just that. Surrounded by lush green foliage with the deep blue of the ocean waters peeking through, the outdoor spa tub is set on an open-air patio outfitted with a table, chairs and loungers inviting you to stay a while. With a plate of fresh Hawaiian papaya and your drink of choice, what more could you need?
A cultural approach in Kyoto
In Japan, bathing is considered a daily ritual meant to bring purification and pleasure. At Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, the best way to experience the custom is with some time in the Hotel’s ofuro, a hot bath and sauna. Steep in traditional Japanese sake – which contains rich amino acids to brighten and soften skin along with purifying, moisturizing and anti-ageing properties – or luxuriate in a milk bath made with natural hot spring water, organic green tea extracts and green tea seed oil for dewy skin.

Turn on the Bluetooth speaker and put on the Frequencies playlist – curated by Bellosound in collaboration with the Hotel’s Director of Spa and Wellness Faraaz Tanveer – and time your bath with the sunset to watch the Tokyo skyline glide from day into night.
