Luxuriously re-imagined following a multi-million dollar transformation, Four Seasons Resort Lanai will offer guests a sophisticated yet relaxed escape on their own 90,000-acre (36,000 hectare) secluded Hawaiian island just nine miles (14.5 kilometres) from Maui. Anticipating a February opening, perfectly timed to plan a winter escape from cooler temperatures, the Resort is now confirming reservations from March 1, 2016. Travellers who wish to be among the first to experience Lanai by Four Seasons in February can contact the reservations team directly.

The comprehensive lobby-to-roof renovation features 217 redesigned guest rooms including 51 suites; newly refurbished lobbies and seating areas for contemplation; additional dining experiences such as the award-winning NOBU LANAI and ONE FORTY, American Steak, Hawaiian Seafood; a renovated Spa; luxury retail boutiques featuring Missoni, Jimmy Choo and the Lanai Collection; a newly outfitted Pro Shop at the 18-hole Jack NicklausSignature Manele Golf Course; and the addition of a luxury transfer fleet.

Sophisticated Design Meets Beachside Innovation

Inspired by Hawaii's diverse and storied influences, the interiors are comprised of an extraordinary material and details palette, such as walls of teak and zebra wood edging artisan-produced Nepalese lokta paper, and floors of mahogany laid with wool hand-woven area rugs.

Fully integrated and intuitive lighting, temperature, service and privacy controls offer a highly responsive in-room technology experience that presents a 75-inch, platinum bezel LED television panel for unparalleled in-room entertainment along with wearable key wristbands to allow maximum flexibility during activities on island; BluRay players; in-room iPad Airs; and a mobile app connecting guests to a variety of information and services including complimentary access to more than 3,000 newspapers.

Lush Hawaiian Landscaping Showcases New Pool Experiences

Verdant botanical gardens and waterways reveal both intimate enclaves as well as spectacular vistas to the Pacific Ocean, featuring an array of native Hawaiian plants and species. By day, the landscape is a journey through a paradise of colour and fragrance serving as a backdrop for commissioned works of outdoor art and sculpture. At night, tree-tops and slate paths lit by the glow of tiki torches lead the way to entirely new rooms that reveal special qualities even before entering.

New outdoor water oases are now beautifully blended into the natural environment while refreshed dining outlets and an array of services ensure perfection is poolside. A lagoon-style, free-form central pool features a cascading waterfall and two spas. Set apart is the adults-only Retreat, whose waterfalls and lava rock grottos echo Lanai's dramatic cliffs and offer stunning views of Hulopoe Bay, where resident dolphins playing at sunset is a frequent sight. Delve further into the garden to find sublime sanctuaries, perfect for relaxing on a collection of secluded lounge chairs and daybeds.

Discover Lanai by Four Seasons

Lanai's diverse topography creates an island of unique contrasts, with myriad activities for all. Choose from hiking, horseback riding and adrenaline-filled UTV adventures in the green upcountry lands, or go off-roading across red dirt roads, coloured from volcanic rock. Try to keep an eye on the ball when ocean views are on every hole of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Manele Golf Course. Snorkel in a marine sanctuary teeming with colourful fish, enjoy whale watching tours or dive into The Cathedrals, featuring lattices of lava rock that resemble stained glass when light hits. Immerse in Hawaiian culture through activities with the Resort's kupuna (elders) or simply relax on a deserted beach accessible only by a 4x4 vehicle.
