Four Seasons Resort Lanai
A golf-side marine preserve retreat



Making use of the dazzling waterscape around it, this 217-key resort gives guests a rigorous aquatic outlook, with some 30 plus dive sites accessible and the pristine Hulopoe Bay marine sanctuary beneath its bluff overlook – not to mention the cultural enrichment from local kapuna (Hawaiian elders) leading classes in traditional crafts and skills. Flourishes of island decor permeate the all-suite accommodations, elements of wicker in furnishings, Hawaiian teak and zebra wood walling. Dining charts a varied course, with Nobu Lanai on hand for chef Mastsuhisa’s signature Japanese dishes, while the lauded One Forty plates steaks and fresh-caught Hawaiian seafood with gusto. The nearby guest-exclusive Jack Niclaus Signature Manaele Golf Course is also a worthy 18-hole attraction.
