Four Seasons Manele Bay Resort Renovation
Luxury in Lanai
With just over 3,000 residents and no traffic lights, Lanai is the smallest of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, this 140-square-mile island is 98 percent privately owned by Larry Ellison, founder and former CEO of Oracle. Building on the island requires knowledge and expertise in coordination to minimize disruptions in an intimate community. When Manele Bay, one of two luxury Four Seasons Resorts on the island of Lanai, required a facelift to update the resort, MFC was brought in to bring the client’s vision to life.
Enhancing the Vacation Experience
The Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay Enhancement project was focused on a series of upgrades to the property to provide an improved vacation experience for guests of the resort. MFC performed work to renovate all public spaces, including the following:
- Making architectural improvements to the ONE FORTY restaurant and three-story lobby
- Converting of butler suites into spa treatment rooms
- Improving the front desk and public restrooms
- Completing code-required upgrades to the fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems and a kitchen grease interceptor
- Replacing existing amenities with two pools, multiple spas, cabanas an another restaurant and bar
It takes more than that to create a truly luxurious resort. Given that the exterior had to reflect the interior in a luxury resort such as this, MFC helped construct landscaping to create the experience of being in a lush, intimate garden where guests could just kick back, relax and immerse themselves in the space.
