Situated in an untouched paradise, the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i is the epitome of an intimate escape. The Pacific waters glisten in the distance and the lush grounds provide an otherworldly home to those looking to bask under the Hawaiian sun. 
It comes with no surprise that the Four Seasons does it time and time again — that is, the perfected stay. It starts first in Honolulu at their private airport lounge where you complete your check-in upon waiting to fly to Lana’i. Light snacks and beverages are provide in the privacy of the lounge, where your journey is just starting to begin. A quick flight lands you on what may be one of the smallest airports around and with a shuttle to the hotel, you arrive in no time. The grandeur of the entrance is quintessential Hawaiian — a warm welcome with a lei and cold drink.
To say that the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i knows how to create a paradise is an understatement. Lush grounds with hundreds of plant species makes an oasis full of hidden retreats and areas to relax in. Koi ponds, local birds, and plentiful views of the ocean add to the charm of the stay. With two pools overlooking Hulopoe Bay (one adult-only) and plenty of lounge chairs to choose from, it often feels like you have the hotel to yourself. A quick walk down the paved path gets you to the secluded beach where shaded chairs await for a relaxed afternoon. You may even spot spinner dolphins or whales in the distance. 
Though there is plenty of relaxation to be had, whether it’s at their Hawanawana spa with blissful treatments or at the pool, there is also plenty of adventure. Home to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Manele Golf Course, the 18-hole course is coveted for it’s pristine greens and ocean views. With a clubhouse and the restaurant Views, you can come here and play a picturesque round and enjoy a beautiful lunch. Throughout your stay, you can book private excursions across the island like the highly recommended horseback ride or catamaran sunset sail. Whether you prefer to be in the water or enjoy the view, the wide range of experiences means there’s something for everyone. 
When it comes to dining, the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i executes in a way unlike others. It starts with the iconic NOBU LANA’I where chef Nobu Matsuhisa showcases his refined Japanese cuisine all created with local ingredients, all with incredible views of the ocean. Another highlight includes Malibu Farms where you can enjoy healthy food like cauliflower pizzas and burrata salads, all within footsteps of the pool. One dinner not to miss is an exceptional experience at ONE FORTY. Highlights like wagyu steak and fresh local seafood come together elegantly with a curated menu. You can even meet with the chef to create your own personalized private dinner (enquire with concierge for the private dinners). For those looking for something relaxed, the Sports Bar & Grill is a lively scene providing cocktails and extensive menus with favorites like venison pizza and fresh pastas. 
After a day’s worth of adventure and relaxation, the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i has rooms and suites that you may never want to leave. Natural tones with a hint of Japanese design, provides a luxurious space that has everything you could need. Complimentary Wi-Fi, terry bathrobes, and in-room amenities like a Nespresso machine are the perfect touch to the stay, creating a home away from home. The beds of course will give you a good night’s sleep and quite possibly the best reason to sleep in.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Flights
Use Skyscanner to find the best flights. It searches 100s of airlines and websites across the globe to ensure you’re not missing out on any route options or deals.
2. Book Your Accommodations
Use Booking.com for hotels and guest houses. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
Use Viator or Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check both as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Car
Use Discover Cars or Rentalcars.com to find the best car rental deals. I recommend comparing rental agency reviews on Google to ensure you are booking with the best company in that destination, as the reviews are often more accurate than the car rental search engines.
5. Don’t Forget Airport Lounge Access
Get a Priority Pass membership to gain access to 1,400+ VIP lounges and airport experiences worldwide. The Priority Pass app is the first thing I check when I have a layover. I’ve been a member for over a decade, and having a comfortable place to relax before and between flights makes air travel so much more enjoyable.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, and cancelations, etc.). I use it frequently for my travels to stay protected.
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
