Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Sensei, the well-being company, have partnered to develop Four Seasons Hotel Lanai at Koele, A Sensei Retreat, scheduled to open on November 1.
A Four Seasons first, the all-inclusive hotel will focus exclusively on wellness retreats, offering a fully customisable programme tailored to individual needs.
Christian Clerc, president, global operations, for the resort, said: ?Four Seasons partnership with Sensei signals our deep understanding of what today?s luxury traveller wants: an exclusive and differentiated wellness travel experience, perfectly pairing Sensei?s evidence-based approach to healthy living with Four Seasons renowned and legendary service.
?Set against the backdrop of the uniquely breathtaking Lanai landscape, this new offering combines unmatched hospitality, nutritious upscale dining and reputable experts to offer a luxury wellness experience found nowhere else in the world.?
Located against a backdrop of Cook pines and banyan trees on the island of Lanai, the new wellness experience takes full advantage of the 90,000-acre (36,000 hectare) island?s natural beauty and seclusion.
Upon booking a retreat, each guest is matched with their own Sensei Guide, who will help customise their itinerary in advance. During each stay, the Sensei Guide will use cutting-edge health tools and technology, recommendations from their supporting wellness team as well as guest feedback to adapt the programme.
Sensei co-founder Dr. Agus, said: ?Our goal is to create experiences, products and services that help people address the gap between their wellness intentions and daily practices. Our retreat provides a great environment to work towards balance, health and well-being with the support of a dedicated, data-driven wellness team.?
Guests of the adults-only Koele Retreat can consult with their Sensei Guides to create their own customised itinerary. Each itinerary is designed to be fluid and adaptable throughout their wellness-oriented vacation. Journeys start with a minimum three-night stay with the ability to add on additional days, complete with wellness activities, meals, adventures and more.
Activities range from one-on-one training sessions and group classes to lectures, philanthropic activities, immersive spa treatments and island excursions. Facilities include a 24-hour fitness facility, two movement studios, yoga pavilion and outdoor yoga spaces, salon, onsen baths, outdoor pool with lap lanes, 18-hole short golf course with Scotty Cameron putters, an Adventure Park with ziplines and rope challenge courses, and an outdoor sculpture garden.
Guests will also have access to a full range of Four Seasons-managed island activities, including golf, ocean sports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, archery and sporting clays, and more.
A new dining concept, Sensei by Nobu, incorporates many ingredients harvested from Sensei?s on-island sustainable farm. Menus have been designed by renowned Japanese Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and his team in close collaboration with Dr. Agus and Sensei?s nutritionists.
Said Haykal, hotel manager, added: ?Every detail of the Hotel and surrounding grounds has been designed to enhance the innovative wellness programming we will offer here. As we work with Sensei to put the finishing touches on the new Koele Retreat, our respective hospitality and wellness teams look forward to working closely with our guests to plan their wellness vacations in advance of our opening this November.?
Retreats are now available for booking, with confirmed arrivals beginning November 1. All-inclusive packages include accommodation, spa and wellness programming, meals and refreshments, selected island activities and inter-island transfers between Honolulu and Lanai on Lanai Air.
