Four Seasons Resort Hualalai Launches “Live From Hualalai” Video Broadcast Series on Social Media

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai introduces live broadcast series Live From Hualalai, featuring educational and interactive videos inviting guests to transport themselves to Hualalai for a few moments each week. The Resort will host live videos on Instagram and Facebook showcasing beloved characters from throughout the Resort. While the Resort has temporarily suspended business operations, these Live From Hualalai segments aim to bring Hualalai into the homes of ohana (family) around the world.

Every week, the Resort will feature a unique character who will share knowledge or provide experiences guests can participate in from their homes. Live From Hualalai is broadcasted from Kona, many times at the Resort, giving guests a peek onto the island in real time.
