Four Seasons Resort Lana'i, The Lodge at Koele

The Four Seasons Resort Lana'i, The Lodge at Koele is a rare gateway into the island paradise of Lana'i. Because the vast majority of the land is privately owned, seasonal traffic is kept at bay, keeping this particular Hawaiian hot spot tranquil all year.

Perched on the island's central highlands, the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele gives you the chance to try unique terrestrial adventures such as horseback riding, with its own stables and horses on-site. Take a day trip to Maui and Moloka'i, or even a spectacular helicopter ride, easily arranged by hotel staff.

If you're a golf enthusiast, look no further than The Experience at Koele - designed by Greg Norman and Ted Robinson, this championship course takes full advantage of the island's changing altitudes. Eighteen holes a full 2,000 ft. above sea level, capped off with vistas of both mountains and the sea. To avoid muscle strain after a day on the links, head to the Banyan Spa Suite for a sport or hot stone massage.
