Dream Pool: Palm Grove Pool at Four Seasons Hualalai, Hawaii

The Palm Grove Pool is an adult sanctuaryat Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. It measures approximately 12 metres from its basalt entry steps to its ocean-facing crescent edge, and 15 metres across. A generous whirlpool is set against a 232-square-metre deck made from Brazilian hardwood and basalt planking. Ambient music sets the tone as the hours pass by and complements the exclusive craft menus and lounge-side cocktail making.

Seating areas comprise 24 chaise lounges by the pool, five couples' nests in semi-private areas off the deck as well as two hammocks. Fragrant gardenia and plumeria surround the pool for a hint of natural aromatherapy.

Couples' Nests at Palm Grove

Featuring unobtrusive views of the landscape, five secluded couples nests are complete with luxury accoutrements. Each private, luxury nest includes a customizable mattress, fully stocked minibar, exclusive aromatherapy oils and lotions as well as two adjacent lounge chairs on Palm Grove Lawn. The nests have a pool server to ensure the experience is perfect from morning to sunset.

Golf Destination: Hualalai Golf Course, Hawaii

The 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature Hualalai Golf Course has been crafted with extreme sensitivity to the land. Winding over 7,100 yards, this carefully groomed course begins in a lush kipuka (oasis) and then flows across brilliant green fairways contoured against black lava. Finally, the course returns to the ocean, where the finishing holes capture the drama and the beauty of direct seaside golf.

The private course, open to Four Seasons Resort Hualalai guests exclusively, is a par 72 with four tee locations at each hole. For guests interested in further refining their technique, a 320-yard practice area and driving range are available with 30 hitting stations, three target greens, a practice putting green and sand bunker, and a short game practice area.

Your every need has been anticipated, from GPS systems and a kit full of essentials (ball markers, divot tools, sunscreen, etc.) on the carts, to on-course sunglass cleaning and shoe service. A beverage cart makes regular rounds, and there’s an air-conditioned comfort station at the ninth hole.

For some rest and relaxation surround our golf experience, guests may enjoy our 14,000 square foot (1,300 square metre) golf clubhouse, adjacent to the course, providing mens’ and womens’ locker rooms, pro shop, and bag storage areas.
