A colourful retreat in Maui

Sun yourself in style at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, where two of the cabanas at its adults-only Serenity Pool were designed by Italian fashion icon Missoni. Designed for comfort and privacy, each ocean-facing cabana offers rattan sofas, terrycloth towels and graphic pillows – all in Missoni’s signature bold designs – and includes a bottle of Champagne and lunch for two. Dive into the pool and enjoy the underwater music system or a cocktail from the swim-up bar, or schedule a poolside spa treatment in your cabana: This pool sanctuary is the ideal place to unwind. Looking for a family-friendly option? Head to the saltwater Fountain Pool or the Waterfall Pool, where luxury cabanas offer direct ocean views, a shared lawn and access to complimentary treats to help keep you cool, like an ice cream cart. The service continues in the sand at Wailea Beach, where your personal beach attendant will set up your chaise and umbrella and serve refreshments, like sliced pineapple with mint.

A historic setting in Miami

Cabana culture has been at the heart of The Surf Club ever since the legendary Miami Beach venue opened its doors in 1930. Architect Russell Pancoast designed them with an eye towards extravagance, taking inspiration from French castles, Maine summer cabins and Art Deco architecture. Over the years, Cabana Row has hosted fashion shows, race car displays, and see-and-be-seen parties for aristocrats, statesmen and celebrities. Today, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club and designer Joseph Dirand have reimagined the cabanas to add a few more modern touches, while still honouring their stylish heritage: Daytime Cabanas feature wood decks, rattan furniture, terrazzo floors, marble bathrooms with walk-in showers, and air conditioning, while on the next storey, five Beach Bungalows offer sweeping ocean and pool vistas, deep soaking tubs and customizable king beds, allowing guests to overnight in a slice of history.
