Not only can you maintain your wellness routine here, but the facilities are state-of-the-art. Stay active with rooftop tennis courts that provide not only an excellent game but also panoramic views of the island.

However, there was always enough space and equipment. I really appreciated the peloton bikes. And after an intense workout the freshly chilled towels and cold water was much appreciated.

The Pool and Beach - A Tapestry of Tranquility and Coastal Bliss:
Stepping into the pool and beach area at Four Seasons Ko Olina, a sense of tranquility enveloped me. The modern design and thoughtful details created a relaxing atmosphere.
They have 4 pools in total, including an adults pool and a family pool.
The adults only infinity pool sparkled, reflecting the vibrant colors of the tropical paradise. It invited me to relax on a comfy sunbed and enjoy the warm Hawaiian sun.
The poolside staff were attentive and catered to my needs. They made sure I had everything I wanted, including drinks from the champagne bar cart. It was a great addition on a hot summer day.
As for the beach, there are two sides to explore—the lively scene of beachgoers enjoying games and water activities, and the quieter side, offering a serene escape.
I spent my days jumping in the waters on the quiet side. While the water here isn’t as clear as the waters of the Caribbean, it has it’s own allure. If you're lucky, you’ll spot a curious resident seal gracefully gliding through the water. These friendly locals can often be found sunbathing on this side of the beach.
Four Seasons Ko Olina's pool and beach area provided an oasis of tranquility and coastal bliss. Whether seeking vibrant energy or peaceful serenity, this captivating resort offered the perfect escape. I relished the sun, savored refreshing drinks by the pool, and embraced the breathtaking beauty of the Hawaiian coastline.
