  Had the best experience at FS Lanai💛 thank you to every single employee there! We felt so welcomed and relaxed as soon as we got to the room. Truly top notch service- from the moment you land in HNL airport the journey is taken care of and you get transported to this quiet island. It is very private and quiet, if you’re looking for a truly private feel getaway this is it. We came with 20months toddler she loved it well we all loved it. I would love to come back again! 💛

  Four Seasons Resort Lanai is one of the most exclusive luxury resorts in Hawaii, set on a private-feeling island where dramatic cliffs, white-sand beaches, and total calm define the experience. Short best overview: This is a rare “private island style” luxury escape in Hawaii. Everything feels quiet, spacious, and highly personalized—from oceanview rooms and cliffside pools to world-class dining and untouched natural surroundings. It’s built for deep relaxation, romance, and full escape from crowds. Why people love it: Located on Lanai, Hawaii’s most secluded and least crowded island Stunning cliffside setting above Hulopoe Bay with clear ocean views Huge luxury rooms and suites with spa-style bathrooms and modern design Two lagoon-style pools (family + adults-only) and a peaceful beach experience High-end dining including Nobu and Malibu Farm restaurants on-site Strong reputation as one of the top luxury resorts in the U.S. What it feels like: Staying here feels like living inside a private Hawaiian world. You wake up to ocean wind, spend the day between beach, spa, and pools, and everything moves at a slow, calm pace. Most guests stay inside the resort because it already feels like a complete destination. Things to know: Getting there is part of the experience (flight to Maui + ferry or private transfer to Lanai) Very expensive ultra-luxury pricing Limited nightlife or city activity—this is pure relaxation Best for couples, honeymooners, and luxury “disconnect” travel Simple travel guide tip: Choose Four Seasons Lanai if you want a top-tier, ultra-secluded Hawaiian luxury escape with privacy, nature, and world-class service. If you prefer activity, shopping, or nightlife, Maui or Oahu will feel more dynamic.

  My stay at Four Seasons Resort Lanai was one of the most peaceful and restorative luxury travel experiences I’ve had in Hawai‘i. If you are looking for a true luxury Hawaiian resort that feels exclusive, tranquil, and deeply connected to the spirit of old Hawai‘i, this is it. Lana‘i is completely different from the other Hawaiian islands. It’s quieter, more preserved, and intentionally untouched. There are no overwhelming crowds, overdevelopment, or rushed tourist energy. Instead, you feel calm the moment you arrive. The hospitality at Four Seasons Resort Lana‘i was exceptional from beginning to end. Evelina at the front desk made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for from the moment we checked in. The service throughout the property felt warm, personal, and authentic rather than overly scripted. One of the highlights of the experience was Samson’s evening ceremony, which became such a grounding and memorable part of each day. We also had the opportunity to spend time with Uncle Bruno, one of the island elders known as the “bird whisperer.” Experiences like that are what make this resort feel so unique and culturally connected to Lana‘i itself. The white sand beaches were stunning and peaceful, perfect for long healing walks at sunrise and sunset. Every detail of the resort felt intentional, from the landscaping and ocean views to the quiet luxury and spacious atmosphere. As someone who works in hospitality and luxury experiences, I pay close attention to service, guest experience, and overall atmosphere. Four Seasons Resort Lana‘i delivers luxury in a way that feels effortless, restorative, and deeply personal.This truly felt like a home away from home, and I already cannot wait to return.

  We had the most amazing stay at Four Seasons Lanai. Everything from start to finish was just flawless. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and feels like a true escape, but what really made it special was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to Daria, who was absolutely amazing and made our experience even more memorable. The entire management team clearly sets the tone, because the level of service is on another level. You can tell they truly care about the guest experience and go above and beyond without making it feel forced. They truly live up to the Four Seasons reputation. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation and would come back in a heartbeat.

  We had an absolutely wonderful time in Lana'i with a few suggestions to earn a perfect rating (General Manager pay attention). The primary reason it was so wonderful is the staff embraces ohana (or making you feel as family). Tuma, Jaughn (community team), Erick (bellman), Randall (bellman), Uncle Bruno (the legend - ask about his swim to Lana'i from Maui and tiger shark attack), and Jay (pool) were awesome. For example, the strap on my snorkel mask broke, Randall drove me to the dock to check the general store where they store scuba equipment and Erick offered to have a mask brought to me from in town. In the end, we used safety pins Randall obtained and it worked great. Tuma and Jaughn are amazing. So much island knowledge and skills making Hawaiian arts. We made bracelets with Tuma and hair pieces with Jaughn for my daughters. When I didn't want my wine chilled, they opened a new bottle at the breakfast / day cafe. Lanai Ocean Experiences was fantastic. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Tim, Jomar and the other mate (sorry didn't catch his name) ensured the family had a wonderful time snorkeling (a highlight of the trip). We encountered a pack of dolphins and Captain Tim allowed the dolphins to play bow for like 15 minutes. The dolphins couldn't get enough of it (they love chasing boats). Jay went out of his way to get us a cabana when the reservation system didn't work properly. He made sure our stay of the pool and beach were great. The staff at the beach was awesome too. Always trying to get to know you and remember your preferences. The bar tenders at Nobu were so welcoming and friendly and getting anything you needed and wanting to get to know you. The hotel and grounds are wonderful and the ocean is great especially where the dolphins come in. So many activities to do, we couldn't finish all of them in six days. Here is a few suggestions for the General Manager to truly be world class. There is not good communication in software between the concierge and community relations and pool. This is a software issue not a people issue. We reserved an observation tour with the telescope by the concierge 1-month in advance. I followed up by phone before we arrived as I didn't hear anything. When we arrived, no record of our reservation (twice). That said Erick the bellman and the concierge still worked to try to get us in. No luck. However, others who arrived after us got in. Secondly, we reserved a cabana with concierge and we left feeling like it was a sure thing. I went to pool next morning and Jay was like we have no record of this. He stated the cabanas had been fully booked for a month. Again this is a software thing. Both of these issues could have been resolved with better software tools that talked between departments. It's crazy to think such a luxury resort does not have software where concierges can see availability and book directly. Instead, its "I'll send a request and hopefully someone gets back to you." That isn't 5 star. It's a software issue management needs to fix and fix quickly. I literally could have this resolved in two weeks as a software engineer. Until then, designate a champion in concierge that champions this and follows the reservation all the way through until its secured (no sending a request and hope its filled). Also I am not sure if this is possible today but when my wife and I visited before the renovation, from the time we sat in our chair at the pool to the time we got service was 15 seconds flat. I timed it daily. It was legendary. If you can return to this level or simply place call buttons at each chair, this will allow people to call a server when they want to place a food order. The Four Seasons in Grand Cayman does this. Also, the food at the Italian Restaurant (Osteria Mozza Lanai) is average at best and way over priced. From one italian to another you can do better at this cost point. General Manager, go taste the food and ask yourself is this truly good or there are improvements to be made? Invite some Italians with you and get their feedback.
