Four Seasons Resort Lanai

Mānele Bay, Lanai, Hawaii

The resort sits on a hill above Hulopoʻe Bay on the south coast of Lanai, a small island with one town and few paved roads. Rooms and suites look over gardens and the sea, and a path leads down to the beach. Hulopoʻe Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District, with good snorkeling and tide pools along its rocky edge.

Spinner dolphins often come into the bay to rest in the mornings, and humpback whales pass offshore in winter. You can walk to Puʻu Pehe, the sea stack known as Sweetheart Rock, play the golf course on the cliffs, ride, shoot clays or take a jeep across the island to Keahiakawelo, a field of red rock formations. In the cool uplands, Sensei Lanai is a sister resort focused on wellness.

Lanai suits couples, honeymooners and families who want a quiet island with a single, full-service resort. Getting there means a short flight from Honolulu or Maui. There are few restaurants or shops outside the resort, so most of your time is spent on property, and rates are high.

Four Seasons Resort Lanai looks over Hulopoʻe Bay on the small, quiet island of Lanai. The bay is a protected marine area where spinner dolphins often visit in the mornings. It suits couples and families who want one resort, one beach and very little traffic.
