Dining at the Four Seasons Hualalai was a true culinary journey. The resort’s on-site restaurants feature fresh, local ingredients that highlight the rich flavors of Hawaii’s traditional dishes with a gourmet twist.
One of our favorite spots was ‘ULU Ocean Grill, where we enjoyed a farm-to-table dining experience like no other. From locally caught fish to fresh vegetables grown right on the island, every dish was a celebration of Hawaii’s rich culinary heritage. We savored a memorable dinner by the ocean, with the waves crashing gently in the background—an unforgettable experience in itself.
For a more relaxed meal, Beach Tree was another favorite, offering an Italian-inspired menu infused with Hawaiian flavors. Dining here barefoot on the sand, with a delicious cocktail in hand, was a dream come true. And, of course, we couldn’t leave without trying some of the resort’s signature tropical drinks—each sip felt like a taste of paradise.
Spa & Wellness: Rejuvenation, Island Style
A visit to the Hualalai Spa is a must if you’re looking to rejuvenate and unwind. The spa experience here goes beyond a traditional treatment; it’s a journey into Hawaiian healing practices and natural wellness.
We tried the Pohaku Wela Hot Stone Massage, using volcanic stones sourced from the island, which melted away every ounce of stress. The spa’s open-air garden, steam room, and whirlpool provided an ideal way to extend the relaxation, and we felt completely renewed by the end of our visit.
Beyond the spa, the resort offers a wide range of wellness activities, from sunrise yoga to guided meditations, allowing guests to connect deeply with the island’s peaceful energy.
Activities: Exploring the Beauty of Hawaii
The Four Seasons Hualalai offers an abundance of activities, from paddleboarding and snorkeling to cultural experiences that deepen your understanding of Hawaiian history and traditions. We particularly enjoyed a guided tour of the resort’s natural surroundings, where we learned about the local flora and fauna and the rich Hawaiian heritage that makes this place so unique.
For golf enthusiasts, the Jack Nicklaus-designed Hualalai Golf Course offers an unforgettable experience with breathtaking ocean views on every hole. And even if golf isn’t your thing, just walking the course and taking in the scenery is worth it.
The Service: Above and Beyond
It’s no surprise that the service at the Four Seasons Hualalai was exceptional. The staff seemed to anticipate our every need, yet their presence was so natural and unintrusive that it only enhanced our experience. Every interaction felt warm and personal, reminding us why Four Seasons is a name synonymous with luxury hospitality.
