The Ocean Pool at the Four Seasons Nevis; the resort will re-open in December 2010.

The Four Seasons Resort Nevis will re-open on December 15, 2010. "It will be the same resort that guests have always loved," says Tara MacIntyre, spokeswoman for the resort. "We will have a chic new look and feel to the property, but the same friendly Nevisian smiles to greet you."

Long considered one of the best hotels in the entire Caribbean, the Four Seasons Nevis was damaged by Hurricane Omar in October 2008 which passed through the islands of St. Kitts & Nevis. Closed ever since, the resort is in the process of completing renovations throughout the property.

"We look forward to welcoming guests back to Four Seasons Resort Nevis and the tranquil and beautiful island of Nevis," says Andrew Humphries, Regional Vice President and General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

The resort features 196 spacious, luxurious guest rooms and suites in 12 two-story guest buildings just steps from the beach and exclusive two- to six- bedroom residence villas. It is an intimate retreat in a low-key destination known for its romantic settings, unspoiled environment and rich history and culture. The resort offers several swimming pools, a top-rated spa, tennis and kids' facilities as well as abundant water sports and nature excursions.

Rafe St. Kitts Straw Basket, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

As easy as it is to picture the Rafe St. Kitts Straw Basket being carried during a stroll along the boardwalk on a lazy summer afternoon or through a seaside market on a crisp morning, the bag is basically limited to those uses. Take it away from the slightly touristy, summer-house atmosphere of many mainland beaches and just-slightly-offshore islands, and you are left with something that, while cute, looks like a souvenir. The basket is woven with natural wheat straw and has a dark brown deerskin trim and top tab closure. Bamboo handles give it a tropical touch and the seaside look is completed with a net overlay covered with nautical charms and shells. It measures 5"H x 9"W x 2 3/4"D. Price: $300.
