Package at Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay LANA'I, HI,
Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is
proud to announce the re-opening of a unique Hawaiian experience:
Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay. As the finishing touches
are being put in place on the Resort and its amenities, a special
Preview Package offering a fourth night free is available to guests
until December 21, 2005. Developed by Castle & Cooke, LLC and
now managed by Four Seasons, Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele
Bay is a truly "private Hawai'i". For travelers yearning for the
secluded pleasures and authentic beauty of Hawai'i, the Resort is
the perfect option to escape from it all. The beachfront property
boasts beautiful vistas of the Island's coastline from many of its
215 guest rooms and 21 suites. Guestrooms have been completely
refreshed to uniquely express tropical island accents and East
Asian influences. A highlight of the renovations includes the newly
built 2500 sq ft Ali'i Suite. With a traditional Asian influence,
the Suite's spacious interiors feature finishing touches such as a
magnificent mahogany four-poster bed, imported Oriental carpets,
and sophisticated furnishings. An oversized lanai in the Suite with
view of the sunrise is the perfect way for guests to start the day.
Preview Season guests can experience the new Fitness Centre and
Movement Studio offering Yoga, Pilates, spinning, personal training
and cardio sculpting classes, as well as the full-service Spa with
11 treatment rooms, red cedar dry heat saunas, steam rooms,
rainforest showers and traditional Hawaiian restorative treatments.
Two award-winning and legendary championship golf courses are also
available, one designed by Jack Nicklaus; and the other by Greg
Norman and Ted Robinson, or guests may choose to practice their
backhand on the newly resurfaced tennis courts. Architecturally,
the property reflects Hawai'i's diverse cultural origins; a theme
further enhanced by five indigenous gardens, as well as pristine
streams, ponds and waterfalls. The Resort sits above the white sand
beach of Hulopo'e Bay overlooking the nearby island of Kaho'olawe.
Brilliant red lava cliffs and rock formations provide a dramatic
contrast to the blue green waters of the sea below. The Lodge at
Koele, the sister property to Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele
Bay, is set in the central highlands of the Island, combining the
charm and refined atmosphere of a traditional English manor with
the natural splendor of Lana'i. The Lodge will undergo extensive
renovations in 2006, to complement Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at
Manele Bay. For more information about both properties, go to
