Four Seasons Resort Hualalai Debuts 2026 Summer Programming

Aligning with its monumental 30th anniversary, the revered Four Seasons Resort Hualalai invites guests back for another incredible summer season along the Kona-Kohala coast, complete with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, unparalleled service, craft culinary and activities for all—in one of the world’s most iconic settings.

“There is no destination quite like Hualalai during the summer season,” says Charlie Parker, Regional Vice President and General Manager. “Entering into an especially significant year for the Resort, celebrating three decades on the Big Island, we look forward to welcoming new and legacy guests to discover what has earned us our acclaim since 1996. We plan to bring back iconic signature experiences, while also introducing new partnerships and programming that further connect our guests to the enduring spirit of the island and create lasting memories for the years to come.”

Experiences For All

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai has always been known as a family-friendly escape, and year-over-year the Resort introduces new programs that get all ages of guests eager to return. This summer, along with Los Angeles-based Christopher Robin Preschool, the Resort will introduce an exclusive program for toddlers inspired by Hawaiian culture. Scheduled July 31 through August 3, 2026, the camp will include traditional talk story sessions, arts and crafts, and even surprise visits from the resort’s Alaka’i Nalu, (“Leaders of the Waves”), for children ages 2-5.

The Resort also welcomes back Camp Manitou for another summer of adventures for teens, tweens and families to explore remote destinations across the island for unforgettable treks—think stargazing at Mauna Kea, overnight trips to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, swimming with manta rays, and beyond.

Families and groups can also take advantage of a number of unforgettable island experiences, from helicopter tours to snorkelling day trips on the Resort’s 46-foot (14 metre) private catamaran, or opt for developing new skills together while simultaneously strengthening family bonds with private golf, tennis or pickleball lessons. Kids aged 5-12 are also invited to spend days at the complimentary Kids For All Seasons or test their ocean knowledge at the Kumu Kai Marine Center, by joining the on-site team of naturalists in one of many educational marine activities available at the resort.

A Taste of the Season

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai continues to set the standard of Island dining with a dynamic and ever-enhancing culinary program. On Saturday evenings, the newly-debuted ‘ULU—led by Executive Chef Richard Polhemus—will offer Ocean to Table dinners where guests can enjoy a curated four-course menu anchored in local island flavours and the day’s freshest catch. On Thursdays, Beach Tree Restaurant will serve La Tavola Italiana, an experience that includes a family-style selection of Italian classics. Paniolo Dinners at Chef Tyler Florence’s Miller & Lux Hualalai will blend the steakhouse roots of Florence’s signature menu with the Hawaiian ranching tradition, inviting guests to enjoy a meal that spotlights elevated live-fire cooking. Complementing these signature dining experiences, the Resort’s culinary portfolio also includes NOIO, a sushi lounge and omakase concept, along with outdoor dining at Residents’ Beach House and grab-and go-specialties at Hualalai Trading Company.
