Editor's Note: As a mega-fan of all things Four Seasons, I've been asked to guest judge the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea's Couples Season photo contest, where in true FS form, each prize is worth more than $2,000 USD. Book a stay and enter here. Open to residents of Canada, USA, UK and Australia.

When I stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay—just a 40-min boat ride from Maui—two years ago, I promised myself I'd come back. Beyond style, it had soul—a soul that kept me from wanting to leave, as well as instigated my return.
Look for more photos and details on what I would call my Hawaii "spirit hotel" in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek to put this retreat on your radar.
