Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort 1 Keomoku Highway, Lanai City, HI 96763

"Stayed here once. I regretted the experience after learning that the entire island has been owned by billionaires for about a century. Billionaires are often successful people that earn their wealth, but no one deserves to have power like this. No one should be able to own almost 100,000 acres of HAWAIIAN LAND. It was never the right of anyone to outright take or buy this land!"

"Up island location is ideal, regular lux shuttles to the beach, 5 star service classic four seasons."

"Friday was a great day. Kristin and I rented a jeep and drove up to the Garden of the Gods on Lanai and it looked like Mars—soooo cool with incredible ocean views. We then proceeded to off road it to a beach where we drove over deep gully’s Sensei is a tropical paradise. They have plants from all over the world there. As they brought in new species they’d have to quarantine them for a year to see how they grew with the other plants. There were flowers there I’d never seen before. Had a delicious lunch at their restaurant, Nobu, situated on one of the many ponds on the property. Afterwards they gave us fish food for the koi fish. We enjoyed walking the peaceful grounds where every turn was beautifully landscaped. They even have natural spring stone hot tubs with waterfalls so we opted to relax in one. We even went into their natural looking wrap around pool."

"Wow! Gardens are amazing. It's very quiet and beautiful. The Hale experience was amazing. My only problem was how early the restaurants stopped serving. I had to eat at the bar or go to a nearby restaurant. The food was still good. I would rather have had a full menu rather than bar food."

"It truly is a wellness retreat... Calm, relaxing, and surrounded by greenery. The service is great as well. Only challenge is that everything needs to be scheduled (meditation, yoga, other activities, dinner reservations, etc ), so you always have to have your phone with you."
