Four Seasons Resort Lanai offers an expansive private island adventure across 90,000-acres of diverse landscape. Guests are welcomed to the five-star, five-diamond property via Lanai Air departures from Honolulu or by private helicopter. 

Once on site, those looking for water activities can unwind by the beach or lagoon pools with waterfalls, and explore Hulopoe Bay's aquatic sanctuary. On land, options include horseback riding, archery, hiking, 4x4 off-roading, biking, and more. The resort caters to various interests, ensuring an unparalleled Hawaiian escape by sea, land, and sky.

Renowned for its scenic design, the championship Manele Golf Course by Jack Nicklaus boasts three cliffside holes above Hulopoe Bay, with the famous par 3, hole #12, where Bill Gates famously got married.

For those who prioritize hotel comfort, the resort’s accommodations redefine luxurious living. Each room is a sanctuary in its own right. Suites offer private deep jetted whirlpools, bathroom televisions, and bidets with heated seats.

Culinary excellence is a priority at Four Seasons Resort Lanai, with over 65% of menu items sourced locally. The extensive wine program features 500 labels, emphasizing selections from California, France, and Italy. A handful of restaurants offer a range of delicacies, including seafood plucked from the surrounding sea.

Guests will also enjoy sensational dining at Sensei by Nobu, the resort's sister property. Private epicurean experiences, such as dinner under the stars and in-room dining are simply unmatched. Regardless of which dining options you choose, expect a host of gourmet offerings showcasing Lāna'i's most memorable flavors.

Hāwanawana Spa, translating to "whispering ocean," offers revitalizing spa and salon services creating delightful experiences for discerning guests. Collaborating with prestigious brands such as Kerstin Florian and KNESKO Skin, the spa provides a tranquil setting with eight treatment rooms, couples' suites, as well as sauna and steam rooms for signature rituals, body treatments, facials, and massages tailored to diverse preferences.
