Four Seasons Resort Hualalai Return to Aloha (2010) brochureTRANSCRIPT
Return to Aloha
Discover the Meaning of AlohaYou’ve all heard the word aloha many times –
here at Hualalai, around Hawaii and even back
home on occasion. Here in Hawaii, it’s a word
we use every day for a number of reasons. While
the common use is to greet or say goodbye to
someone, aloha also means peace, love and
a number of other beautiful things.
To truly define the word, it’s helpful to break
it up into its parts:
Alo – Presence
Ha – Divine breath
Among traditional Hawaiians, aloha is often
exchanged upon greeting, by touching foreheads
together, and breathing in each other’s ha, or divine
breath. Essentially, this is a brief exchange of life
and love between two people.
Here at Hualalai, we live aloha every day – with you,
our guests, with each other, and within our community.
This is truly what makes the experience, emotions
and memories here so special, for all of us. Next time
you say aloha, whether here or at home, take joy in
knowing you are sharing life and love. And aloha
cannot be taught, it can only be shared. So please,
pass it along, that’s part of aloha!
New Suite ServiceStaying in one of our 51 suites and villas – including the 20 new suites – now
has more benefits than ever. In addition to the extra space, privacy and amenities,
we are introducing a special service beginning in the new year.
Complimentary Airport TransfersGuests booking a suite or villa at published pricing
will receive complimentary round-trip airport
transfers. This includes “meet and greet” upon
arrival, luggage assistance and access to the
new Four Seasons Resort Hualalai airport lounge
(serving departure on select flights only). This
special airport service smoothes your arrival
and departure … and it’s all on us!
Fresh Concept at Hualalai GrilleAlways fun and popular, Hualalai Grille will reopen this
winter with a new sports bar concept. You’ll find several
new TVs to watch your preferred sports games, as well
as pool tables, lounge furniture and a games room.
Chef ’s TableThere’s a lot of talk around the country these days about restaurants using locally grown products.
This has come to be known as the “farm-to-table” movement. It’s a great thing when done well, as it
ensures the freshest ingredients on your plate, while supporting local farmers and the local economy.
Here at Hualalai, our culinary team works with over 160 local farmers on Hawaii’s Big Island, sourcing
everything from vanilla, avocado and ricotta cheese to wild boar, organic grass-fed beef and a plethora
of incredible seafood, including abalone.
There’s nothing that can match the best locally grown products, and we base our culinary philosophy of
seasonal, regional and artisanal food on this premise. As a result, approximately 75% of the ingredients
we use are from right here on our island, direct to your plate. That’s farm-to-table as it was meant to be!
New Menu at Pahu i’a Our acclaimed restaurant continues to evolve with Chef Jacob Anaya at the helm.
Based on your feedback, his latest menu offers less formal dining options. You can
now enjoy shared plates, or just appetizers and a glass of wine. Pahu i’a is still a favorite
for that special meal, yet these alternatives offer improved flexibility and enjoyment
of this spectacular location. Service has been tweaked too, allowing you to determine
the pace and timing of your meal experience.
Pool Perfection – New Ways to Enjoy
New Marine DiscoveryKing’s Pond has been transformed into an educational resource center for learning about the
marine habitat of our coastline. We’ve added daily classes, activities and talks, as well as guided
snorkel tours. We’ve even added a white-sand bottom for better visibility of our more than 1,000
fish. Full food and beverage service is now available too, allowing you to relax even longer in
this truly unique place.
New Lounge at Palm GroveThe new lounge at Palm Grove is an exciting full-service venue to look forward to on your next visit.
Open seasonally beginning this winter, Palm Grove will feature comfortable lounge furniture encircling
the pool and lawn. The addition of a full bar – specializing in “adult” shaved-ice libations – allows you to
enjoy a cool cocktail under the shady palms, while being serenaded by the gentle sounds of the ocean.
What could be more relaxing?
Unlimited GolfIf you’re a serious golfer, be sure to check with the reservations department
about our unlimited golf package and rates. These rates offer excellent value
(pay one rate and play all day) and a nice opportunity to work on your game
while enjoying the beautiful Hualalai scenery.
Tee TimeOne of the great things about the Jack Nicklaus signature Hualalai Golf Course is its playability.
No matter your experience or handicap, this is a great course for all levels of golfers. Anyone can
get out and have a good time with a competitive round on the links!
PGA Champions Tour at HualalaiDon’t forget to tune in to the Golf Channel to watch defending
champ Tom Watson play to retain his PGA Champions Tour
Mitsubishi Electric Championship title, right here at Hualalai
from January 21 to 23. This tournament is always a fan and
player favorite, and we’re proud to welcome back the players
and onlookers for what promises to be another epic golf week.
