![]() ![]() Ellison is committed to transforming the island’s infrastructure and redeveloping an environmentally friendly agricultural industry on Lanai. Today, the majority of the island, including the Four Seasons, is owned by Larry Ellison, the founder and CEO of Oracle. From 1921 to 1992, Lanai was home to the world’s largest pineapple plantation and produced nearly 75 percent of the world’s pineapples. The Four Seasons Resort Lanai is located on Lanai, a tiny island off the northwest coast of Maui. The Four Seasons is family-friendly, and we did encounter a few kids during our visit, but we’d say the hotel primarily caters to couples (especially honeymooners). Families may be happier at the more bustling Four Seasons Maui. Since there aren’t many lodging options on Lanai, and since the Four Seasons is a massive property, the hotel feels a bit like a private island resort - a place where people spend the entirety of their stay on hotel grounds. ![]() It feels glitzier than its sister property on Maui, and the clientele reflects this. The Four Seasons Lanai is an exclusive retreat. Wood-paneled archways lead outside, where the hotel’s lushly manicured grounds come into view. A grand staircase leads to the lower-level living space, where a 19th-century koa wood outrigger canoe serves as a focal point, and divides the room in two separate, yet cohesive spaces. It’s a seamless blend of old Hawaiian and contemporary ambience, with rich wood floors and paneled walls, massive murals depicting Lanai’s early history, and sleek furniture that feels both island-inspired and upscale. The two-story lobby is impressive and inviting. Beneath the hotel’s entry portico, staff members wait with cold towels and welcome drinks, ready to greet new guests by name. Once on the island, Four Seasons staff members transport guests by minibus to the resort - a 10-minute drive along winding, cliffside roads. First, travelers must take a 45-minute ferry from Maui to Lanai. Arriving at the Four Seasons Lanai is no easy feat.
