Luxury oceanfront resort with fine dining, golf, spa, and activities
"For a beach-and-pool escape with big-resort polish, this World’s Best Award–winning property overlooks Hulopoe Bay on the island’s southeast and welcomes families with a lagoon pool and spacious, residential-style suites. Days can flow from Malibu Farm’s guest-only, elevated poolside menu—think pokeviché, acai bowls, Lanai venison nachos, and catch-of-the-day fish tacos (save room for an ice cream sandwich)—to the resort’s holoholo tour that off-roads by Jeep to cultural and historical sites with two-way radio commentary, then to stargazing via the Four Seasons’ Kilo Hoku Experience at Lanai Observatory. Guests commonly head down to lounge chairs and umbrellas on Hulopoe Bay, complimentary shuttles run hourly, and reservations through December 31, 2026 include round-trip Lanai Air flights." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"At this luxe Hawaiian base, you can build your own wellness retreat by mixing healthy menu options, yoga sessions, workout classes, and ample downtime, then round it out with tennis or pickleball lessons, a sports massage, and rounds at the Jack Nicklaus–designed Manele Golf Course, whose cliff-perched holes frame sweeping ocean views—an approach that encourages holistic wellness as much as pure relaxation." - Travel + Leisure Editors Travel + Leisure Editors Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences.
