Transcending Generations: The Ultimate Multi-Gen Escape at Four Seasons Resort Hualālai

Multi-generational travel is nothing new, however, in 2025, for the first time in human history, seven generations of people will be able to travel at the same time. According to Virtuoso’s 2025 Luxury Travel Trends to Watch report, the world’s first “Beta Babies” will be born this year to Gen Z parents (aged 16-30) and emerge a new travel trend: XZ Beta Travel.

Catering to this new era, Four Seasons Resort Hualālai located on the Big Island of Hawaii has long understood the value of family travel. As a two MICHELIN Key resort and the first and only AAA Five-Diamond and Forbes Five-Star Resort on the island, the resort is designed to bring groups together, offering accommodations, activities and once-in-a-lifetime experiences tailored to every stage of life.

There’s something for every generation at Hualālai:

  • Generation Alpha (born 2010-2024) - Immersive experiences at Camp Manitou through cultural, recreational and explorative activities both at the resort and throughout the island (think visiting secret beaches, exploring lava tubes and waterfalls, kayaking, snorkeling and stargazing).
  • Generation Z (born 1995-2009) – Explore the Hawaiian waters with Hualālai’s ocean ambassadors, Alaka’i Nalu, who provide guidance with water sport activities and excursions on the resort’s 46-foot catamaran aptly named Alaka’i Nui meaning great leader.
  • Generation Y (born 1980-1994) - Celebrate the local craftsmen and experts across the island through the resort’s collection of “Only at Hualalai” experiences which range from Kimi Werner’s Freediving Experience to Neil Kamimura’s Blacksmith
  • Generation X (born 1965-1979) – Relax and renew with an array of services offered at Hualālai Spa from body treatments and facials to wellness offerings such as acupuncture, reiki and even yoga sessions.

In addition, the resort is home to multiple island-inspired specialty suites including three of the most expansive luxury resort accommodations in Hawaii—Hawaii Loa Presidential Villa, Makaloa Villa and Ho`onanea Villa—each offering a dedicated suite concierge team, customized inclusions and in-suite experiences such as exclusive dinners and private spa treatments.
