Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort
Why We Love It
This pampering Hawaiian resort is an elevated ode to all things wellness and the ethos of the archipelago. Set on the tiny so-called Pineapple Island AKA the isle of Lanai near idyllic Maui, the breezy retreat is positioned in a magically verdant tropical setting. Accommodations and 10 spa hales (bungalows) open to the rich foliage, offering an indoor/outdoor experience that is distinctly Hawaii. The treatment rooms also boast outdoor showers, private plunge pools and intimate lounge areas, while the on-site Nobu has tables positioned in a glass pavilion, the better to savor the natural surroundings (room rates start at $980 a night with a two-night minimum stay).
