Diego Angarita Appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Resort, Naples Beach Club

Seasoned hospitality executive tapped to launch Florida’s most anticipated luxury resort experience, opening fall 2025

Four Seasons announces the appointment of Diego Angarita as General Manager of Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort, a new luxury resort along the Gulf Coast, set to debut in fall 2025. Owned and developed by Athens Group and BDT & MSD Partners, L.P., Naples Beach Club sits on the site of the beloved former Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. As General Manager, Angarita will oversee the resort’s 215 accommodations, which include 47 suites, 58 luxury condominiums in three new beachside residential buildings, and 95 luxury condominiums in five golf course residential buildings.

With more than 20 years of experience with Four Seasons, Angarita brings strong leadership to the property, breathing new life and luxury into a renowned hospitality landmark. Born in Colombia but raised in Puerto Vallarta along the Pacific coast of Mexico, Angarita grew up in a hotel family, moving where his father’s assignments took him and becoming familiar with operations along the way. He studied hospitality at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas, secured an internship with Four Seasons, and has been with the company ever since.  Starting at the Front Desk in Punta Mita, his journey continued to housekeeping management in the Bahamas, and then to Director of Rooms in Las Vegas. After success in the same capacity at Hualalai in Hawaii, Angarita was promoted to Resort Manager in Anguilla as the property was reflagging to Four Seasons, and then became Hotel Manager in Los Angeles as that property earned its Five-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide. He later returned to Anguilla as General Manager, and by 2023, had led the Resort to the first of two Five-Star ratings before his transfer to Naples. With Angarita’s earlier experience at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, his latest appointment symbolizes a homecoming to the property portfolio of BDT & MSD Partners, L.P.

“With Diego’s extensive experience and lifelong passion for hospitality, he is the ideal leader to open our newest location on Florida’s Gulf Coast as General Manager,” says Antoine Chahwan, Four Seasons President, Hotel Operations – Americas. “Diego has been deeply involved in every aspect of bringing this highly anticipated opening​ to life, ensuring an exceptional Four Seasons experience for our guests.”

Set in the heart of the city along a powdery, white-sand beachfront that stretches more than 1,000 feet (300 metres), Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort will offer a one-of-a-kind luxury lifestyle destination to residents, members, and guests. The property will feature a private members’ club, a world-class spa, a racquet sports facility, and a newly designed 18-hole golf course by Fazio Golf Design. At the heart of the community, a vibrant Market Square town centre will offer an array of dining experiences, including inviting spots such as a charming café and a welcoming pub.

“This property has long been a cherished part of the community’s tradition,” says Angarita. “Our vision is to honour that long-lasting legacy while seamlessly integrating Four Seasons renowned culture of service and excellence, ensuring its continued evolution for generations to come....
