Four Seasons Lanai

Not as famous as its fellow Hawaiian islands, Lanai holds its own with some stellar beaches and dramatic landscapes. There’s not a bad view at the Four Seasons Lanai, where all the dining terraces look toward a stunning crescent beach and Pacific vistas. Outdoor spaces include a lagoon-style pool and blooming gardens, plus a Jack Nicklaus golf course. Families keep the kids busy with the kids club, and for adults, there’s a full-service spa. The resort has a menu of curated experiences from sailing adventures to hula lessons, and there’s even an observatory on the property for star gazers. Terraces and soaking tubs are standard in the traditionally decorated rooms, with sprawling suites featuring ocean views and living areas.
Pro tip: Book a trip with an arrival before December 31, 2025 and receive a roundtrip luxury flight from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu to Lanai..
