Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas

Spread across 400 acres beside the fairways of TPC Las Colinas, the resort sits where water features and rolling turf stand in for a coastline. Guestrooms, suites and private villas face either the golf course or the pool deck, with wide windows framing the Dallas skyline in the distance. It is a large property, and it feels like one. Cabanas and daybeds line the pool, and Aire Libre serves Texan and Baja-inspired dishes poolside, while Knife Italian turns out dry-aged steaks with an Italian accent indoors. A 14,000 sq ft spa anchors the wellness side of the resort, with separate lounges for men and women, a plunge pool and a full salon menu of massages, facials and scrubs. Golfers can book the 18-hole, par-70 course at TPC Las Colinas, its signature hole shaped like the state of Texas, bunker and all. Villa guests get a dedicated concierge and access to an inner-circle package with daily credit and priority booking for events. Tennis and pickleball courts sit alongside a two-storey fitness centre at the adjoining Nelson Sports & Golf Club. DFW Airport is a short drive away, and downtown Dallas not much further. Check-in is from 4pm, and pets under 40lbs are welcome for a fee.
