Luxury oceanfront resort in Ka'upulehu on the Kona coast, with several pools and a swim-up bar, a spa offering lomi lomi massage, and a golf course next door.
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai occupies a stretch of coastline in Ka'upulehu, north of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Landscaped grounds surround several pools, including Beach Tree and Palm Grove, the latter with a bar in the water, and the ocean is only seconds from the lounging areas. The resort is designed for travelers looking for a quiet, well-tended stay.
The spa offers lomi lomi massage, a traditional Hawaiian technique, and the resort also has a restaurant, a bar, a fitness center and room service. The resort's own golf course is a one-minute walk away. Many guests praise the staff's attentiveness; hours and services can change, so confirm them with the hotel before you travel. The setting is peaceful and made for rest, far from the pace of town.
