Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Set on the Kona-Kohala Coast where ancient black lava flows meet white sand beaches, this AAA Five Diamond resort rises as a modern kipuka, a Hawaiian oasis untouched by molten mass.

Intimate low-rise bungalows arranged in four crescent-shaped crescents house renovated rooms and suites featuring island-inspired décor, native Hawaiian art, custom bamboo bed canopies, handcrafted white oak furniture, and private lanais overlooking seven distinctive pools including King's Pond, a 1.8-million-gallon swimmable aquarium carved from natural lava rock.
