Lanai Island boasts two Four Seasons resorts.

Adjacent to the Manele Golf Course and located on the beach is the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, featuring low-rise architecture with 213 rooms overlooking the beautiful Hulopoe Bay. Beyond the spacious lobby, which evokes a lagoon, extends a pool. Premium suites offer meticulous service by dedicated ambassadors. At the Hawanawana Spa, treatments using tea leaf extracts are popular for recovery from the sea breeze and sun exposure while golfing. Dining options are diverse, including innovative Japanese cuisine at Nobu Lanai, steak and seafood at One Forty, and poolside dining at Malibu Farm. This promises the finest stay as a vacation base.

On the hilltop is the Sensei Lanai, a Four Seasons Resort limited to guests aged 16 and older, specializing in wellness. “Sensei” was founded by the co-founder of Oracle and a professor from the Keck School of Medicine at USC, promoting well-being.

Its spa facilities and scientifically-based programs are highly regarded, with training menus available for golfers. Many guests choose to stay at both Four Seasons resorts for these reasons.
