Bordering a marine preserve that teems with colorful reef fish, sea turtles and spinner dolphins, the Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay is everything you imagine paradise to be. Perched atop red lava cliffs, this resort resembles a sprawling Mediterranean villa. The guest rooms have private lanais and countless other amenities, plus a prime location near Hulopoe, considered the island’s best beach.

The setting is not all  that this resort has to offer ,though. Executive Chef  Fabrice Huet has an arsenal of dining options available to showcase his wonderful repertoire of flavors. One such venue is the Ihilani, "heavenly splendor" in Hawaiian. Offering a romantic locale for couples to dine, against a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, the Ihilani lives up to it's name.  The menu features enticing contemporary Italian cuisine with a discerning selection of fine wines.

There is so much we can say about Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay ...it is truly amazing and Kona Sea Salt™ is proud to take up residency in their kitchens and restaurants.

The Beach House Restaurant on Kauai is well-known to both residents and visitors for its spectacular oceanfront setting along the island's sunny south shore. As a consistent winner of Honolulu Magazine's Hale Aina Gold Award for Best Kauai Restaurant, The Beach House has earned a reputation on Kauai that goes well beyond its breathtaking setting.

Along with The Beach House's famous sunset views, it's equally easy to get swept away by Chef Todd Barrett's creative twists on island favorites. Take a slice of paradise, mix well with a generous helping of island hospitality and a bounty of Hawaiian flavors, and you'll discover what nourishes the soul and brings you back for seconds.

The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.  Their signature entrée is their lightly crusted macadamia nut mahi mahi, and for dessert you can try the molten chocolate desire with vanilla bean ice cream and hot caramel sauce. Mmmm.

Reservations are highly recommended, especially at sunset and for beachfront seating. More can be found on the Beach House Resturant website. View photo gallery.
