5-diamond-rated Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on the island of Hawaii has completed a $40 million expansion that includes 20 new suites, a major spa enhancement, an oceanfront pool deck, new retail shops and a beachfront bar, lounge and restaurant.
Comprising between 1,150 and 1,950 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space, the new 1- and 2-bedroom suites have spectacular ocean views; all of the suites have living rooms, luxurious bathrooms with steam showers, and lanais with 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean.
Newly expanded to 28,000 square feet, the Hualalai Spa welcomes guests into open-air tropical gardens and dark, cool interior spaces. Before treatments, guests can enjoy complimentary neck and shoulder massages while trailing their toes in the stream that trickles through the tranquil Waiea garden. Native plants and minerals known for their healing qualities are incorporated into signature treatments. More on the new Huaualai Spa.
Adjacent to spa, the new Seaside Boutique features such designers such as Allegra Hicks, Tory Burch and von Furstenberg, and glam resort wear – cashmere wraps, Kotur clutches, St. Tropez sandals.
The resort’s beachfront restaurant, bar and lounge, the Beach Tree, has reopened with a transformed interior and 
exterior, a new menu and chef, and zowie ocean views. Awnings, a thatched roof crafted from local trees, and overstuffed sofas and chairs contribute to the “Hawaiian beach house” feel, encouraging long lunches, romantic dinners and cocktail hours.
