The Four Seasons Hualalai Resort is the only AAA Five Diamond hotel on Big Island of Hawaii and was named #1 Spa Resort in 2000 by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure Magazine. Zagat 2000 Survey named it the #1 Resort in USA and #1 Spa Resort in USA. Opened: September 24, 1996 and is the last brand new resort to be built in Hawaii.

Sweeping ocean views and brilliant island sunsets provide a magnificent backdrop to the oceanfront dining experience of Pahu i`a, where the indoors are caressed by tradewinds, the waves illuminated by the stars and the gentle surf endlessly soothes.
While the restaurant's centrepiece is a brilliant aquarium (Pahu i`a in Hawaiian) its focal point is the vast cobalt blue ocean and rhythmic, rolling surf merely steps away. At your table, our chefs pay homage to Hawaii's bounty and the surrounding Pacific Ocean. Combined with legendary Four Seasons hospitality and service, it is an inviting atmosphere of relaxed and casual elegance. Seats 118.
Naupaka Terrace, an extension of existing lanai seating, offers panoramic views of the ocean in an intimate setting. Naupaka kahakai is the name of a native Hawaiian shrub that grows naturally
along Hawai'i's beaches. Its white blossoms appear to be only half of a flower. Legend says that the flower is made whole by joining it with a "half flower" from the naupaka kuahiwi or mountain naupaka, which grows upland.
Specialties
The menu combines avant garde variations on traditional European cooking techniques with the finest flavours the region has to offer: fresh island fish, produce, spices and herbs. A weekly prix fixe menu, nightly specials, and vegetarian options compliment a refreshingly unique array of appetisers and entrées. A children's menu is always available.
News
Pahu i`a is a recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award, DiRoNa Award, Ivy Award and was recognised in Food & Wine magazine's America's 50 Best Hotel Restaurants 2003.
