STAY - Four Seasons Lanai, Hawaii

•Four Seasons has four different properties in Hawaii, all fantastic in their own way, but the Lanai property is surely my favorite. The island of Lanai is the only privately owned island in all of Hawaii, owned by Oracle founder and CEO, Larry Ellison. The island has a total population of just 3,000 people and the Four Seasons is the only resort on Lanai. This makes Lanai’s offering of an exclusive level of seclusion and experiences for its guests truly unique. No expense was spared when the resort was renovated and it shows - it’s the perfect marriage of luxury, seclusion, and tropical beach vibe.

•Most people fly to Lanai via Hawaiian Air. However, Four Seasons has a private charter service available to and from Honolulu, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii that will save time and offer convenience. At $500 per couple (each way), it's one of the best valued charter options available.

•As the island is so remote and small, guests typically have to stay onsite for meals. However, lovers of Japanese cuisine will be delighted to find a Nobu on site - always a hit with guests -  along with a fabulous bar and offers great beverages and mixed cocktails and a variety of other dining accommodations to suit any taste.

•The resort also offers an excellent selection of daytime activities: for the adventurous, be sure to check out the guided ATV tours (my personal favorite) or heading out on the catamaran for some snorkeling. Those more relaxation minded will surely love taking part in the cultural program (think hula, leis, and ukulele), or getting a few rounds in at the on-site golf course.

Morning hikes to watch the sunrise are amazing! Morning hikes to watch the sunrise are amazing!
