Description
When was the last time just the two of you got away from it all? If you're still trying to think of when, then this trip is for you. Topping the "best of lists" of Conde Nast and Travel & Leisure, the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii has been described as complete perfection. Set on the exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast, this lush tropical oasis of fragrant gardens, white sand beaches and sparkling ocean waters captures the essence of Hawaii's golden age.
Upon arrival at the Kona Airport you will be met by Gold Coast Town Car Services, a luxury car service offering personalized airport greetings, baggage handling, chilled water, and Hawaiian macadamia nut chocolates. A five star welcome awaits at the Four Seasons Hotel where you will be presented with an orchid lei, Aloha mai tai and choice of fresh fruit juices. Throughout your stay you will experience unparalleled, attentive Four Seasons service.
As you enter your Ocean-view room for your three night stay you will feel immersed in Hawaii’s natural beauty. The decor complements the palette of the surrounding environment with touches of rattan, bamboo, slate, natural hardwood trim and paintings by local artists. The bungalow-style buildings have natural elements including outdoor showers made of lava rock on lower floors that offer seclusion without isolation. Ocean-View Rooms on upper floors offer a lanai (balcony) furnished for ocean-view lounging or dining.
The resort offers five pools, spa, fitness center, tennis club, Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, and snorkeling pond. As part of this package, you will enjoy two complimentary rounds of golf at the par-72 Jack Nicklaus Signature Hualalai Golf Course, the first Nicklaus design in Hawaii and home to the prestigious PGA Champions Tour 'Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.
Your three night stay (with ability to extend at a discounted rate) also includes one complimentary 50 minute massage at the resort’s newly renovated Hualalai Spa, recently named the #1 Hotel Spa by Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast and Zagat. Enjoy complimentary pre-treatment rituals, relaxing by a quiet stream in the open-air Waiea, or Water of Life, garden. Or savour the lap pool, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms and cold plunges, all set amidst lush greenery. The new couple's hale features dual outdoor showers, a hinoki (Japanese cedar) soaking tub and a private garden for dining.
The Spa’s Apothecary was influenced by the Kupuna (island elders) who shared their healing traditions and knowledge of native plants and minerals. With the guidance of your spa therapist, choose from more than 20 local natural ingredients – from Hawaiian sea salt to crushed macadamia nuts – which are custom-blended to create unique personalised treatments.
The dramatic contrast between the dazzling turquoise ocean, fine white sand and black lava landscapes makes this a destination of enchanting natural beauty. It is the perfect setting to celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary or simply reconnect.
