Four Seasons Resort Hualalai
United States
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai lies among white-sand beaches and black-lava landscapes on Hawaii’s Big Island. Accommodation is arranged in bungalows, with upper-floor rooms opening to balconies and larger oceanfront villas adding generous lanais, pools or spas. Hawaiian design remains part of the interiors following the resort’s renovation. King’s Pond is a swimmable aquarium where the natural resources team offers marine programming around its tropical fish. Golf follows the coast, with the shoreline particularly prominent at the 17th hole. Dining includes ‘ULU between the Ocean Pool and King’s Pond, and the Residents’ Beach House near the golf course. A separate spa and fitness centre includes an outdoor lap pool.
