The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Oahu

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

Breakfast for two at La Hiki

Full breakfast for two per bedroom at La Hiki, the open-air restaurant beside the pools, or through in-room dining, which runs around the clock. La Hiki serves breakfast from 6:00 to 11:00 am, with the buffet until 10:30 am and the à la carte menu after that. If you book a Club room, the lounge already serves a lighter breakfast, so the benefit gives you a full sit-down breakfast as well.

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay, to use at the restaurants, bars and spa. Valet parking costs $55 a night, so the credit is worth close to two nights of it. A round at Ko Olina Golf Club costs Four Seasons guests $275, so it covers about a third of one.

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. Every guest room is the same 640 sq ft, so an upgrade here means a better view or a higher floor: from a resort view to a partial ocean view, or from partial ocean to an Oceanfront Room on floors 4 to 15. Club Lounge access comes only with a Club category booked in advance.

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. The airport is 30 to 40 minutes away without traffic, and the H-1 is at its slowest from 3:00 to 6:30 pm on weekdays. A late checkout lets you spend the last afternoon at the pool and time the drive back around the rush.

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We send the resort your floor and view preferences before you arrive, including whether you want to look over the lagoon or away from Aulani, along with your occasion and flight times.

Combines with Four Seasons offers

Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the resort's own promotions. The resort has offered a fourth night free for most of the year, at other times a spending credit. We check what is available for your dates when we quote.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Oahu

All 370 rooms and suites are in one 17-storey tower, and every room has a furnished lanai. Guest rooms are all about 640 sq ft with a king bed, or two doubles in some categories, so you are choosing a view and a floor, not a size. The Club Collection, redesigned in 2025, puts 38 Club rooms and eight Club suites on floors 16 and 17 and in a few lower positions, with access to the Club Lounge.

Best value

Resort Room

The lowest rate at the resort. Some look towards Aulani next door and others inland to the Waianae mountains. The sensible choice if you will spend the days at the lagoon, the pools or out on the island and want the saving for a longer stay.

Families who need two beds

Partial Ocean Room

Some ocean from the lanai, and one of the categories sold with two double beds as well as a king. It suits two children who each need their own bed, within the cap of two adults and two children.

The one to book if you can

Oceanfront Room

The most booked room at the resort, on floors 4 to 15, with an unobstructed view of the ocean from the lanai. Some look over the lagoon and others face away from it, so tell us which you prefer and we will request it.

Couples

Prime Corner Oceanfront Room

On the best corners of the tower, with the ocean on two sides. It has a king bed only and takes three adults or two adults and one child, so it is a room for two. There is no Club version.

Lounge access and the highest views

Club rooms

Club Oceanfront Rooms on floors 16 and 17 have the highest ocean views outside a specialty suite. The Club Deluxe Room with Outdoor Spa Tub is on the ground floor, away from Aulani, with a walled garden and its own tub, and suits couples. The Club Resort Room, also on floors 16 and 17 but facing inland, is the least expensive way into the lounge.

Families and occasions

Studio, One-Bedroom and Specialty Suites

Studio Suites are about 1,000 sq ft, with an enclosed changing area that fits a cot. One-Bedroom Suites run from 1,200 to 2,040 sq ft, and the oceanfront ones have two bathrooms and two lanais. Above them are the Pacific Suite, with a plunge pool, the Sunset Suites, the 17th-floor Penthouse with an 800 sq ft terrace, and The Residence, with three king bedrooms. All four include Club access.

Most rooms take three adults, or two adults and two children, and a cot or rollaway does not raise that limit, so families of five should plan on a suite or connecting rooms. Club access cannot be added at check-in: book a Club category if you want the lounge. Accessible rooms are available in six categories, from a Partial Ocean Room up to a One-Bedroom Suite.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Oahu

Know that the lagoon is shared with Aulani

The resort fronts Lagoon 1, the busiest of Ko Olina's four lagoons, and shares it with Aulani, the Disney resort next door. A rope line on the sand separates the two hotels' loungers. For a quieter swim, take the coastal path to Lagoon 2.

Budget for tax and valet, not a resort fee

There is no resort fee. Parking is valet only, at $55 a night. Hawaii's lodging taxes add about 18.7 percent to the room rate: 11 percent state accommodation tax, 3 percent Honolulu County accommodation tax and 4.712 percent general excise tax. We give you the full total with your quote.

Time the drive around the rush hours

Weekday traffic on the H-1 runs from about 6:00 to 8:30 am and 3:00 to 6:30 pm, and it can add 30 minutes to an hour to any drive into Honolulu. Plan Waikiki, Pearl Harbor and airport runs outside those windows, or allow for them.

Book a Club category if you want the lounge

The Club Lounge opened on 4 July 2025 in the former Presidential Suite on the fourth floor. It is open from 6:30 am to 8:00 pm, with breakfast until 10:30 am and hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in the late afternoon, and a dedicated concierge team. There is no extra charge for a third or fourth guest in the room, which makes it good value for families.

Reserve cabanas and dinners before you arrive

Every pool has cabanas, and on busy days they are gone by mid-morning, so book them with your room. Noe and Mina's Fish House fill up, especially for larger groups. Allow an hour before a spa treatment to use the steam room, sauna and whirlpool.

Use the culture programme

The #FSWayfinders programme brings Hawaiian practitioners, artisans and storytellers to the resort every week for workshops such as lei making and hula. The resort also runs a voyaging experience on a double-hulled canoe, a private surf outing with professional surfer Kekoa Cazimero, and a torch-lighting at sunset every evening.

Travelling with children

Camp Kohola, the Kids For All Seasons club, is complimentary for ages 5 to 12 and runs daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with evening sessions such as Keiki Glamping and Camp Kohola After Dark that need a reservation. Camp Manitou runs outdoor island days for ages 9 to 17. The concierge books outside babysitters for children under five and for later evenings. Bring pool toys from home, as the resort shops charge resort prices.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Oahu

There are six restaurants and lounges, plus a rooftop bar, a swim-up bar and in-room dining around the clock. The restaurants have children's menus. Ko Olina Station, across the road, adds Monkeypod and Eggs 'n Things, and the Island Country Markets store nearby sells deli meals and supplies at lower prices.

Breakfast and lunch, poolside

La Hiki

The open-air restaurant overlooking the pools, with a breakfast buffet from 6:00 to 10:30 am and an à la carte menu until 11:00 am, then a casual lunch. On Sundays it serves Brunch for All Seasons from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. This is where the Preferred Partner breakfast is taken.

Seafood by Michael Mina

Mina's Fish House

The beachfront restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina, with seats indoors and out above the lagoon. Expect dishes such as mahi mahi and seared yellowfin, and the late-afternoon happy hour is the easy way to try it.

Southern Italian, dinner

Noe

The resort's evening restaurant, with pasta such as radiatore puttanesca and a romantic setting around a waterfall. It serves dinner daily from 5:00 to 9:00 pm and has a children's menu. Book ahead, even as a hotel guest.

Asian fusion and sushi, evenings

Manalo Lounge

An outdoor lounge serving sushi and Asian-inspired plates with cocktails from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. A lighter alternative to a full dinner.

Casual poolside lunch

Waterman Bar & Grill

The bar beside the Ohana Pool, with craft beer and casual dishes such as lobster rolls and teriyaki hot dogs. The natural lunch stop for families at the pool.

Rooftop and swim-up bars

Five-One-Six and Dr. Mai Tai's

Five-One-Six, on the fifth floor, became a permanent speakeasy-style rooftop bar in July 2025 and opens on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with no reservations. Go before sunset. Dr. Mai Tai's is the swim-up bar at the adults-only infinity pool. Hokulea, the open-air coffee bar, covers coffee and pastries in the morning.

On Property

Pools, lagoon and facilities at Four Seasons Oahu

The pools step down from the tower towards the lagoon, with the family pools in the middle and the adults-only pool on the quieter western side. Attendants hand out sunscreen, water and snacks at the loungers.

Keiki and Ohana pools

The Keiki Pool, closest to the lagoon, is the one for young children and has hot tubs beside it. The Ohana Pool, in the centre of the resort, suits older children and is where the Waterman bar is.

Adult infinity pool

The adults-only pool, for guests 18 and over, faces the ocean and the sunset, with a hot tub and Dr. Mai Tai's swim-up bar. Its cabanas come with screens, speakers and sunscreen, and are the first to sell out.

Lagoon 1

Ko Olina's lagoons are man-made and enclosed by seawalls, so the water inside stays flat and calm even when the ocean outside is rough, which suits children and nervous swimmers. There is no reef, so the snorkelling is poor. The natural cove just north of the lagoon, near Paradise Cove, has better snorkelling and the occasional turtle. The resort offers paddleboards and snorkel gear in the lagoon, and sunrise yoga on the ocean lawn.

Naupaka Spa & Wellness Centre

A 35,000 sq ft spa with 14 treatment rooms, three of them outdoor hales, a Himalayan salt chamber and treatments based on Hawaiian healing traditions, including some for children and teenagers. The 10,000 sq ft health club has steam rooms, saunas, a whirlpool and an outdoor lap pool.

Tennis and pickleball

The tennis centre on the roof of the spa has three courts and four pickleball courts, with lessons. Club guests get complimentary tennis and racquet classes. It is the only hotel in Ko Olina with its own courts.

Ko Olina Golf Club

A Ted Robinson course, par 72, a short walk from the resort, with Roy's restaurant at the clubhouse. Four Seasons guests pay $275 for 18 holes in 2026, or $210 after 1:00 pm, rising to $295 from 14 December 2026. Rates include a cart and a basket of range balls, with general excise tax added, and you can book up to 90 days ahead.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Oahu

Ko Olina is on the dry leeward side of Oahu and is often sunny when the rest of the island is wet. Daytime highs sit in the 80s°F all year, so the decision is about price, crowds and whales.

December to March: Whale season, when power-raft tours from Waianae Harbor go out to look for humpbacks. These are the wetter months in Hawaii, though Ko Olina stays drier than most of the island. Mid to late January, after the holidays, brings fewer crowds and lower prices.
Christmas and New Year: The busiest weeks of the year, with a festive programme of holiday brunches, cultural workshops and New Year's Eve dinners and celebrations on the oceanfront. Golf rates rise from 14 December. Ask us early, especially for suites and Club rooms.
April to August: The sunnier half of the year begins in April. Late May to early October is the hottest and driest stretch. June to August is the family season, and the resort runs a summer wellness series. Book connecting rooms and suites well ahead.
September to mid-December: Shoulder season. September, once the summer holidays end, is among the best times to go, with dry weather, fewer crowds and lower rates.

Travel

Getting to Four Seasons Oahu

Ko Olina is at the western end of the H-1 freeway, about 20 miles from Honolulu airport and further from Waikiki. It is one of the easiest Four Seasons in Hawaii to reach, as there is no second flight.

From Honolulu airport (HNL): About 20 miles west, 30 to 40 minutes by car without traffic. On weekday afternoons the drive can take twice as long. We can arrange a car transfer through the resort.
By helicopter: The resort has its own helipad, and a helicopter transfer from the airport takes about ten minutes. It costs a great deal more than a car, and suits guests who land in the afternoon rush.
By hire car: Collect a car at the airport and take the H-1 west. Parking at the resort is valet only, at $55 a night. A car is the practical way to see the North Shore, Pearl Harbor and the rest of the island, since the free Ko Olina shuttle stopped running in 2022.
To Waikiki: About 45 minutes by car without traffic, and 60 to 75 minutes in the morning rush. Leave after 9:00 am for a day in town and come back before 3:00 pm or after 6:30 pm.

Beyond the Hotel

Things to do near Four Seasons Oahu

Ko Olina is a resort community with its own lagoons, marina and shops, and most guests stay close. These are the outings worth planning ahead.

The Ko Olina lagoons

A coastal path links all four lagoons, past the Beach Villas and the Marriott, to Ko Olina Marina beyond Lagoon 4. Lagoon 2 is quieter than the resort's own, and Lagoon 4 has the largest public car park. Resort loungers on each lagoon are for that hotel's guests only.

Ko Olina Station

The shopping centre across the road from the resort. Monkeypod, from chef Peter Merriman, has live music and a good happy hour, and Eggs 'n Things serves breakfast. Island Country Markets, just outside the Coconut Plantation gates, has a deli and supplies for the room.

Ko Olina Marina

Sunrise and sunset sails, snorkel trips and dinner cruises leave from the marina beyond Lagoon 4. For dolphins, turtles and, in winter, whales, power-raft tours leave from Waianae Harbor, about 10 miles up the coast.

Paradise Cove and the Aulani luau

Paradise Cove, beside the resort, holds a luau with an underground imu oven, village games, dinner and a show. Aulani's luau and its Makahiki character breakfast are next door. Reservations open 180 days ahead for the luau and 45 days ahead for the breakfast, at midnight Hawaii time.

Pearl Harbor

The USS Arizona Memorial is on the way into Honolulu. Tickets are released 56 days ahead at 3:00 pm Hawaii time and go quickly, so tell us your dates early and avoid the morning rush on the H-1.

Lanikuhonua Cultural Estate

The cultural estate and nature preserve beside the resort, which the resort uses for weddings and events. Ask the concierge which events are on during your stay.
