The Four Seasons Resort Nevis, one of the Caribbean’s leading luxury hotels, is planning to reopen in October, Caribbean Journal has learned.
The Nevis resort is now accepting reservations for stays beginning Oct. 7, 2020, according to the property’s Web site.
That date will come after St Kitts and Nevis’ planned tourism reopening of Oct. 1, as Caribbean Journal previously reported.
It will be the second major St Kitts and Nevis resort to reopen, with St Kitts’ ultra-luxe Park Hyatt St Kitts slated to relaunch on Oct. 1.
“Upon reopening, their will be a screening procedure that may include temperature checking as well as a series of questions regarding health and recent travel,” the Four Seasons Resort Nevis said in a statement.
The property will be relaunching with a host of new health and safety measures; that will include mandatory masks for all employees; a requirement for all guests age 10 and above to wear a mask or face covering when in “public indoor spaces on property and when receiving service while in their guest room.” (Guests age 2-9 are “strongly recommended” to wear masks).
It’s part of Four Seasons’ global “Lead With Care” health and safety program.
Last year, the Four Seasons Nevis completed a two-year-long renovation project.
And while the resort has been shuttered during the pandemic, that hasn’t stopped a surge in real estate purchases at the property’s collection of villas, according to Caribbean Journal Invest.

World Bank Press Release – Dominica will strengthen its response to the economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic using US$5.2 million from the World Bank. The funds will be used to provide income support to people affected by the crisis who meet set criteria.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is causing economic and social challenges for Dominica, particularly due to necessary mitigation measures and the decline in the tourism industry. The World Bank will support the government’s social assistance measures to provide relief for Dominicans and contribute to economic recovery,” said Tahseen Sayed, World Bank Country Director for the Caribbean.
Funds will be distributed under the Government of Dominica’s Livelihood Support and Social Protection Programme. Grants will be provided to over 7,000 Dominicans, targeting people who have lost income because of the pandemic as well as the poor and elderly.
The program will provide grants to affected self-employed business owners and other people who have lost jobs or have had their pay reduced. It will also support citizens over 70 years of age who do not already have a pension.
The livelihood and income support grants will be provided monthly to eligible beneficiaries for a maximum of three months.
Eligibility criteria and application process are published by the Government of Dominica.
These funds were accessed under the Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC) of the Housing Recovery Project. CERCs allow funds to be reallocated from existing projects to address emergency response needs.
The World Bank Group, one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries, is taking broad, fast action to help developing countries strengthen their pandemic response. We are supporting public health interventions, working to ensure the flow of critical supplies and equipment, and helping the private sector continue to operate and sustain jobs. We will be deploying up to $160 billion in financial support over 15 months to help more than 100 countries protect the poor and vulnerable, support businesses, and bolster economic recovery. This includes $50 billion of new IDA resources through grants and highly concessional loans.
