Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, hotel in United States
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is a resort on Hawaii's Kona coast featuring ocean views and black lava rock landscapes. Guest accommodations range from updated rooms to spacious villas with private pools, while the property offers seven distinct pools including King's Pond, a large natural-shaped pool filled with tropical fish.
The resort opened in 1996 and underwent major renovation in 2021 with over 100 million dollars invested to refresh rooms, expand villas, and upgrade facilities. Development on the site of a former Hawaiian fishing village preserved ancient saltwater pools and pathways from that era.
The resort sits on the grounds of an old Hawaiian fishing village where ancient saltwater pools remain preserved. Visitors can learn about local traditions and crafts that reflect the island's heritage and connect with the culture of the people who lived here.
The resort is about 15 minutes from the airport and easily accessible by car. Renting a vehicle is helpful for exploring the island beyond the property, as public transportation options are limited in this quiet area.
Marine biologists care for the saltwater pools and King's Pond daily, creating safe habitats for fish and birds. The resort built small islands within golf course ponds as wildlife sanctuaries and installed an on-site water filtration system to reduce plastic waste and protect the island environment.
