This is more than just an amazing escape it is a place to connect with the island, to unwind, and to experience luxury and glamour in an open-air resort.

After a mere three days enveloped in the Sensei Way, my habits have changed for the better.
It simply helps to hear it from someone else – someone you can picture on your shoulder, directing you when faced with the option of another Netflix binge as opposed to a walk around the block. It’s not as if I did not already know that more exercise, less screen time, and smaller pours of wine might result in better health and better sleep.
The base of monumental, mountainside-placed “Talaia” by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, for instance, proved the perfect spot for pensive reflection. And, as an art lover, I found solace in the property’s stunning artworks and sculptures. And pure relaxation was granted both poolside and within the ten onsen garden hot pools, between which waterfalls cascade towards the koi-filled lake. Nutrition came in the form of Nobu, the resort’s one restaurant, at which repeat visits were anticipatory and not at all routine.

Through a thoughtful discussion with my guide, where I revealed that my best sleep seems to take place in Manhattan after I walk for miles each day, we determined that movement is my “domino.” My ‘guide to growth,’ a take-home plan provided to guests who have completed a guided wellness program, was beginning to take shape. I met with a nutritionist who shared ideas for a more healthful diet.

A medical professional collected a finger prick of blood to reveal my fasting blood glucose and cholesterol levels. My guide collected baseline health markers such as blood pressure, body composition, hydration, and functional-movement. My intentions? Exercise more, imbibe less and sleep through the night. And as a result of the inactivity and the wine, I don’t sleep well. As one who extensively covers wine and wine country, my wine glass is, fortunately or unfortunately, forever full. My life as a journalist, forever glued to my computer, keeps me from ‘moving’ as much as I’d like. Upon arrival, I met with my Sensei Lanai guide to address my intentions, which uniquely matched the ‘Sensei Way’ three path focus of move, nourish, and rest. But, desiring the whole experience, I signed-on for a guided wellness journey, one of the offerings within an abundant choice of programming.
