"As we grow as a brand, our goal is to open hotels in the world's best travel destinations and in markets where we can introduce an elevated luxury experience. In Puglia we are achieving both of these goals, this is the perfect project to expand our presence in Italy with our partners at Omnam Investment Group, led by David Zisser, " says John Davison, president and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts . "We look forward to setting the standard for luxury hospitality in this beautiful region, creating opportunities to discover more of this incredible country with Four Seasons."
He is echoed by David Zisser, founder and CEO of Omnam Group : "We look forward to offering the best luxury lifestyle offerings in the region, not only through exceptional design and services, but also through the renowned Four Seasons service."
Puglia forms the heel of Italy's "boot" and is home to ancient cities with rich history, national parks, soaring mountains, exceptional food and wine, pristine beaches and a Mediterranean climate. Ostuni, the local town a short distance from the resort, is also known as the "White City" for the color of its houses and buildings carved into the cliffs, medieval streets and its 15th-century Gothic cathedral.
An exquisite seaside retreat
Located a 40-minute drive from popular destinations such as Ostuni, Alberobello and Monopoli, the upcoming Four Seasons in Puglia will be one of the few hotels in the region with direct beach access. Accommodations will be housed in villa-style units, all overlooking the sea. They have been designed by HKS Architects, an award-winning international design firm that has previously worked with Four Seasons on projects in the Bahamas, Tunis, and Egypt. As for the interiors, however, the design is led by ODA Architecture.
Six restaurants, including one open all day and one gourmet restaurant. Several bars as well: a seasonal poolside bar and grill, a lobby lounge bar, an exclusive bar, and a beach club. The resort will also include extensive meeting and event space, a spa with fitness center, 10 treatment rooms, hammam, sauna, swimming pool, and yoga studio.
