Four Seasons Runs 120+ Properties — Here Are the Pools Worth Building a Trip Around
Four Seasons is the largest brand in this series by far. Rather than attempt every property, this is a cut for genuinely exceptional pools and beach access — the ones that regularly top independent "best resort" rankings on their water features alone.
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai (Big Island, Hawaii)
Eight distinct pools across 865 oceanfront acres, including King's Pond — a 1.8-million-gallon swimmable aquarium carved from lava rock, stocked with over 1,000 tropical fish and a resident spotted eagle ray. The adults-only Palm Grove pool has its own swim-up bar; the quiet Beach Tree pool sits steps from the ocean with whale-watching in winter. Regularly ranked the top hotel in the U.S. by independent rankings.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
Overwater bungalows and beachfront villa estates on a private motu, each overwater unit with its own plunge pool facing Mount Otemanu. The lagoon itself functions as a swimmable coral garden — reef fish and coral visible from the bungalow deck.
Four Seasons Resort Lanai (Hawaii)
Perched above the protected marine reserve of Hulopo'e Bay — snorkeling among dolphins, hiking trails, and a quieter, more remote register than Hualalai or Bora Bora, better suited to genuine seclusion.
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Three pools including an adults-only serenity pool, on Maui's golden Wailea coast — the property that served as the filming location for HBO's The White Lotus, equally suited to romantic escapes and active family stays.
What to Wear
A Bali Edit bikini suits Bora Bora's overwater-to-reef routine; a Mediterranean Edit one-piece fits Hualalai and Wailea's multi-pool, all-day resort structure.
