#Virtuoso Week top ten | FS Oahu at Ko Olina



This is the second of my "top ten list" of takeaways from this year's #Virtuoso Week where I'm on the lookout for great travel ideas. Although not "yet" a part of Virtuoso, FS Oahu will have FSPP amenities from Day One!

Just one week until reservations open The opening of reservations has been postponed at FS Oahu at Ko Olina. I had lunch with my Four Seasons Hawaii rep on Sunday. She told me that the website is going live August 18, but that date has been pushed back. The opening date is expected to be in April, 2016, but we'll know for sure hopefully soon.

Occupying the former JW Marriott, Four Seasons has undertaken a complete renovation of the resort. Existing guest rooms are large — 640 square feet — and of the total 358 rooms, 52 will be suites. There will be five restaurants on property including a seafood restaurant.

Located on a protected lagoon with clear water and calm waves, Four Seasons looks across the lagoon to Disney's Aulani. This will be the first Four Seasons resort on Oahu and the fifth in Hawaii. The other four are FS Hualalai (Big Island), FS Maui, FS Manele Bay (Lana'i), and FS Lodge at Koele (Lana'i).

More news will be forthcoming, including the Four Seasons Preferred Partner amenities that guests will receive at FS Oahu when booking through your FSPP travel consultant. Although I'm not permitted to publish these amenities, please email me for my guide to the FSPP amenities at every Four Seasons hotel and resort worldwide.
