Every corner of the Four Seasons Resort Lanai is better than the last, whether you’re soaking in one of two pools surrounded by tropical plants and towering palms, or teeing off at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Manele Golf Course next to Hulopoe Bay. There’s so much to explore (much of the island is untouched by development); ATV through the island’s ironwood forests — spend the day on the hotel’s 50-ft catamaran and swim through coves and snorkel, or allow a private guide to take you to the island’s most beautiful spots.
Save up energy to sip on a punchy cocktail at one of three bars before indulging in Hawaiian seafood and American steak at One Forty or fine Japanese cuisine at Nobu Lanai.
Top suite: Alii Royal Suite from $21,000 per night
Aerial adventure: Learn to fly with the Maui Flight Academy. Take to the skies in a small charter plane and explore all sides of the island from above.
