The finest hotel in Hawaii. The private Ko Olina lagoon is calmer than Waikiki and more beautiful than anything the Strip can offer.
The Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina sits on a private oceanfront stretch 30 minutes west of Honolulu, within the Ko Olina resort community that was developed specifically to offer a calmer, more exclusive Hawaii experience than Waikiki's density allows. The hotel faces one of Ko Olina's four protected lagoons — man-made but impeccably maintained — where the water is calm regardless of conditions on the open ocean and where children and non-swimmers can enter the Pacific safely.
The 371 rooms occupy a low-rise complex that spreads across 17 acres, with no tower blocks and no guest needing to travel more than three floors. Ocean-view rooms and suites face the lagoon and the Pacific beyond; garden rooms face the resort's landscaped interior. Rooms begin at 525 square feet and are finished in a contemporary Hawaiian-inspired palette — natural woods, lava rock accents, and textiles in coral and sea glass. The bathrooms are the most generous on Oahu.
The three-pool complex — a main pool with a swim-up bar, an adults-only infinity pool facing the ocean, and a family pool with waterslide — represents the finest pool programme on Oahu. The Nalu Kinetic Spa offers 19 treatment rooms and a treatment menu anchored in Hawaiian healing traditions. The culinary programme, anchored by Mina's Fish House from Michael Mina, is the most acclaimed hotel dining on Oahu.
The Four Seasons Ko Olina is the objective honeymoon leader in Hawaii because it removes the Waikiki crowds, the street noise, and the tourist-industry atmosphere that surrounds even the finest Waikiki hotels. The private lagoon, the adults-only infinity pool, and the honeymoon package — private dining on the beach, couples spa, butler service — are executed with a precision that comes from managing more honeymoon stays than any other property on Oahu.

Return visits to Ko Olina are common — the resort's self-contained character means that a couple who honeymooned here finds the anniversary visit produces the same quality of isolation. The hotel maintains notes on guest preferences from previous visits. The private beach dinner, available at any time with 48 hours notice, is the most dramatically positioned dining experience on Oahu. See all anniversary hotels →
