AMENITIES PAGE - FOUR SEASONS HUALALAI RESORT - BIG ISLAND

THIS IS NOT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT

Beach Tree Pool
Located oceanfront, beside the Beach Tree Bar & Grill in the Beach Tree crescent, this pool is heated for guests' comfort. Attendants offer poolside beverage service and Evian spritz. A whirlpool is nearby.

Jack Nicklaus signature Hualalai Golf Course
Like all the other splendid amenities of the Resort, the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus designed Hualalai Golf Course has been crafted with extreme sensitivity to the land. Winding over 7,100 yards, this carefully groomed course begins in a lush kipuka (oasis) and then flows across brilliant green fairways contoured against black lava. Finally, the course returns to the ocean, where the finishing holes capture the drama and the beauty of direct seaside golf. After an exhilarating game, relax in the clubhouse where tropical refreshments, ocean views and a club-away-from-home experience await you.

Tennis
As a primary feature of the Hualalai Sports Club & Spa, The Hualalai Tennis Club offers eight Rebound Ace surface courts, four of which are lighted for evening play. Rebound Ace, a cushioned surface that looks and plays like a hardcourt, is used in the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam Tournament of the year. Courtside amenities include complimentary iced water, sports beverages and towels.

Cultural Center

Ka‘upulehu Cultural Center offers interactive programs and interpretive resources and displays to create a living picture of Hawai’i’s environment, culture, history, traditions and arts.

The experience begins with a map of the islands of Polynesia inlaid into the wooden floor. Original paintings by Hawaiian artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kane depict inhabitants in a typical coastal Hawaiian village

Tools used for making kapa (bark cloth), pounding poi, canoe building, fishing and weaving are on display. Recordings from the 1940s to the present show the evolution of Hawaiian music from the earliest ‘ukulele to steel guitar and slack key. Videos are available, from voyaging canoes and marine life to hula and volcanoes. In addition, guests can explore the Resort’s own natural and historic resources through guided trail walks. Staff can provide Center tours and cultural information

Daily classes and exhibits enhance the cultural experience of Ka‘upulehu and bring to life its "sense of place." Some of these include:

Voyaging by the Stars
Tuesday evenings

Polynesians used the stars, moon and sun, as well clouds, currents, migratory and weather patterns, to navigate the Pacific in sturdy canoes – and, in the process, discovered literally hundreds of archipelagos. At Ka‘upulehu, overlooking Kuki‘o Beach, is the only star compass on the island at this time. This is a chance for all ages to sample what it might have been like to be a Polynesian explorer. Guests meet in the Cultural Center

‘Ukulele Lessons
Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays

Although identified with Hawai‘i, the ‘ukulele originated in Portugal, fashioned after the Spanish guitars of the vaqueros (cowboys). While the ‘ukulele is relatively easy to play, it can be tough to master. Here, you can begin by learning a simple tune through demonstration and participation.

Hawaiian Language
Sundays and Fridays

Although it may sound intimidating, the Hawaiian language contains just five vowels and eight consonants. This class helps visitors understand the origins and basic pronunciation of the language. Guests will learn translations of commonly encountered words and share the legends of place names such as Ka‘upulehu

Natural History
Saturdays and Sundays

This program explains the concept of the ahupua‘a (a land area usually running from mountain to the sea) and the basics of community life within it. Learn about Hualalai’s geography and environment - from lava tubes and streams to the dry-land forest, native birds and animals

Kupuna Program
Kupuna (Hawaiian elders) are available once per week to teach and share cultural knowledge in flower lei making, Hawaiian throw net making, `ukulele lessons, hula lessons, `ipu (gourd) making and lauhala weaving

Other Classes
The program changes frequently. Examples of other classes may include Hawaiian quilting, fish feeding, keiki canoe and fishing, feather art, lei making, pond and cultural tours. Consult the Cultural Center staff for the latest details

Footnote
Most programs are complimentary although a nominal fee for supplies may apply in select classes. There is also a charge for off-site cultural tours.

Classes and programs may change without notice. Some classes may have age restrictions. Guests under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult while visiting the Cultural Center.
