Sensei is an adults-only retreat located on the secluded Hawaiian island of Lanai, set further inland. But don't let the tranquil private location sway you, for its sister property, Four Seasons Lanai, is a short complimentary shuttle away. Guests of Sensei have complimentary access to the private beach and club. Enjoy full signing privileges and all beach facilities there. Leave your wallet behind and shop effortlessly in the exquisite boutique, simply by noting your accommodation number at Sensei.

Lunch at Nobu
While staying at Sensei, many might opt from time to time to dine at the neighboring resort, or in town, but the in-house Nobu restaurant offers such exceptional cuisine that you won’t want to eat anywhere else. After dinner, unwind in the beautiful, bright billiards lounge with a glass and a game of fabulous pool.
