You can spend all day watching Nevis Peak.

The green, daunting, cloud-crowned volcano is the towering core of this island, its energy imbuing itself into just about every moment of your day.

But Nevis Peak is watching you too.

It’s what makes this island just so magical.

And it’s the essential backdrop, the tone-setter and the heartbeat of one of the Caribbean’s truly iconic resorts: the Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

It was the first-ever Four Seasons in the Caribbean when it opened just over three decades ago, a resort that began as a vision by Isadore Sharpe and became the model for what a Caribbean hotel can be, not just from a hospitality standpoint but for the way it sustains and connects with the island.

And while the resort has maintained its place as a Caribbean legend, it’s got

After 33 years in business and almost 15 years as the supplier of Disney’s resort and cruise line toiletry products, H2O+ has announced it will cease operations.

In an announcement on the official H2O+ website, the company says, “After 30+ amazing years of innovation, we have made the very difficult decision to retire the brand at the end of the year.”

H2O+ became a fixture in Disney’s resort hotel rooms in 2008, supplying complimentary skincare and hair products.

The product’s future with Disney is unclear, with the company saying it will, “fulfill its obligation to supply products in accordance with agreements with its business partners”

H2O+ parent company, Pola Orbis Holdings said, “Since joining the group, H2O Plus has been engaged in the manufacture and sale of cosmetics primarily in the US. However, the business environment surrounding the beauty brand has become “extremely difficult,” with sales falling short of expectations.

For 30 years, the Coco Palms Resort on Hawaii‘s island of Kauai has laid in ruins. Famously featured in Elvis Presley’s film “Blue Hawaii,” the resort is under new ownership, and its fate could be decided this week.

The new owners want to build a new 350-room hotel on the same site, according to KITV, and the permits are up for approval at a Kauai Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday. Opponents, however, would prefer it be turned down and replaced with a park or cultural preserve.

“They’re given special exemption to rebuild on an Iniki ordinance from 30 years ago. I mean, when our whole understanding of environment and our whole understanding of like cultural significance, it’s changed. Our entire

Hong Kong interior design house, Hintegro, fully graced a townhouse located in the low-density luxury estate Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po. The resort-inspired abode is home to a young couple who have an affinity for supercars, skateboarding and luxury handbags. Taking the original ancestral home interiors, the couple teamed up with Hintegro to create a cozy yet refreshing getaway while also accommodating their Welsh Corgi, Shiba Inu and expected child. The design is all about balance as affordable materials were used to create a luxurious setting while still holding true to functionality.

“We are both busy at work and dream to come home to feel carefree like a holiday,” said the lady of the house.

Veering from simply going for a minimalist aesthetic, the design embraces each of their personalities as well as their individual passions. A greeting of two entryways leads up to the house with a fish

IONIA, Mich. – Nestled in a wooded area blanketed with vibrant green leaves and plants, Michigan’s first luxury treehouse resort has a variety of amenities for guests to reconnect with nature in comfort.

Tree Vistas debuted the Winding Springs Treehouse, which is lifted 13 feet above ground, Thursday, Aug. 11, outside of Grand Rapids in Ionia Township.

The resort is surrounded by the treetops and includes pathways that lead to the Fred Meijer Grand River Valley Trail and Grand Riverwhere a bonfire pit, grill and benches are located on its northern bank.

A Utah-based resort company that owns several ski areas has made a bid to buy Jay Peak Resort, the Vermont ski resort that was rocked by a massive fraud case involving its former owner and president.

The court appointed receiver who has been overseeing Jay Peak for more than six years is seeking court approval to sell it for $58 million to Pacific Group Resorts, Inc., which owns Ragged Mountain Resort in New Hampshire, Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Colorado, and Mount Washington Alpine Resort in Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Receiver Michael Goldberg wants to be able to continue to market Jay Peak, and if there are qualified bids, an auction would be held “in order to assure the highest and best offer,” according to Monday’s court filing.

“The time has come for the Receiver to sell Jay Peak Resort,” Goldberg wrote, adding that when he took over Jay Peak in

It was perhaps the most powerful illustration yet of a housing crisis gripping mountain towns in the Sierra, which rely on tourism to fuel their local economies — even as tourists squeeze the housing stock and generate more demand for low-wage workers.

Palisades secured a special-use permit to lease the campground from the US Forest Service, hoping to promote van living as an alternative for people with nowhere else to go.

“The idea was, in part, can we tap into this ‘van
