Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele

An English country manor sensibility pervades this 20-acre central-highland property on sparsely populated Lanai. The 102 rooms and suites have verandas, many fronting the perfectly manicured lawns where croquet and lawn bowling are played. The backdrop is green hills and tall pines interspersed with occasional glimpses of ocean. After a day of jeep tours, hiking, horseback riding, or skeet shooting, relax by the enormous stone fireplaces in the hunting-lodge-like Great Hall, sumptuous with dark rich wood, skylights, and libraries and sitting rooms in the wings.
