Picnic Under the Stars at Four Seasons Resort Lanai

By reading the clear night skies, Polynesians found their way across the Pacific, to the islands of Hawaii.  Today’s astronomers can look to the cosmos on Lanai to stargaze, interpreted as Kilo Hoku in the Hawaiian language.  The secluded island’s lack of light pollution means one is likely to see an infinite number of twinkling stars in the heavens above.  And, with the new Picnic Under the Stars experience at Four Seasons Resort Lanai, guests will search for constellations with a bevy of amenities by their side, perfect for a celestial adventure

While the naked eye can spot many stars, especially far from the bright lights of any city, Celestron SkyMaster high-performance binoculars are ideal for astronomical viewing, especially over long distances.  Download a popular phone app, check out a copy of a monthly stargazing map courtesy of the Imiloa Astronomy Center, spread out on a comfy Four Seasons blanket and aim the set of binoculars on a star.

While enjoying the view, enjoy a selection of desserts from Four Seasons chefs and a half-bottle of bubbly prosecco and perhaps toast to a shooting star, a sign of good luck, many say.  

The AAA-Five Diamond Resort is a gateway to the most exclusive, secluded paradise in Hawaii with plenty of activities to enjoy during the day too, such as sailing, horseback riding, off-roading, archery, hiking and more.

Picnic Under the Stars can be booked prior to arrival by the Resorts’ Lanai Travel Advisors at 1 800 321 4666, res.lanai@fourseasons.com or through In-Room Dining while at the Resort, for USD 90 per couple.
