What it is

An ultra pampering, spa-like retreat where health experts await to help you live your best life.

What it isn't

Making you schlep. Your rate includes round-trip chartered airfare from Honolulu via Lanai Air.

What we think

Of all the hotels in the Four Seasons stable, this one is a particularly paradisiacal dream. For starters, you’re almost guaranteed to leave vacation feeling lighter and more blissed-out than ever, thanks to wellness-focused experts (led by co-founder Dr. David Agus) attending your every need. You’ll start with a wellness consultation that plans out a truly exquisite itinerary, whatever that means for you—whether you’d like to hike through a pine forest to spy the Molokai islands across the misty sea, have a shiatsu massage while being rocked in a warm al fresco pool, stargaze into the wee hours, or do all three, on the same day. Guest rooms here look like they were designed by Hollywood Director Nancy Meyers, with sunlit blonde woods and bleach whites, all with private lanais for lounging overlooking jungly paradise.

You're here because

It feels like a hush-hush secret, yet you still have comped shuttle service to Four Seasons Resort Lanai and all its amenities.

The Moment

Just-caught seafood is always your dinner du jour when you’re in Hawaii, but that goes doubly so here—where a Nobu awaits in a glass-walled pavilion. Sitting by the reflecting pond, you order a spicy shrimp and quinoa salad, and roasted lobster with tropical fruits. Wellness on a plate.
