Colin Clark
Aloha Hualalai Club Members,
I am delighted to announce today the appointment of Colin Clark as my successor in the role of General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. Colin arrives to Hualalai later this month to complete a thorough handover with me, returning full time in late April.
On Monday, March 27th we invite you to meet Colin ahead of our Monday reception at Ke‘olu Clubhouse. Our Pacific Heritage series has a full evening of performance planned, so Colin will join Debbie and myself for an introduction and meet and greet with all of you at 4:30pm. Colin looks forward to learning from you what makes Hualalai Club so special so that his work with Debbie supports the Club’s interests and long-term goals, and we all look forward to seeing you there.
I am particularly excited to welcome Colin to Hualalai as I believe his deep experience, cultural sensitivity and global perspective will ensure a seamless transition. Throughout Colin’s more than 25-year career, he has developed a true understanding of wellness culture, local influences and a lifestyle of fitness at luxury properties in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Bangkok, the UK and the US. Demonstrating his passion for hospitality, Colin has earned the respect of colleagues, succeeding in roles as Reception Manager, Hotel Manager, Resort Manager and General Manager, as well as Spa Lead for the Americas. As General Manager for Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire, England, Colin built the hotel’s reputation, while adding land and activities to the estate, and as General Manager for Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Colin and his team completed major enhancements, weathered hurricanes, and positioned the resort with the owners for extensive renovations in 2018. This past February, Forbes Travel Guide awarded the Five Star to the Resort for the nineteenth consecutive year.
Proud to be a Scot, Colin graduated from Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland, with an HND in Hotel Business Management. When in college, Colin was given the gift of an airline ticket to anywhere in the world, and his chosen destination was Hawai‘i. He is looking forward to embracing the island lifestyle and the deeply rooted Hawaiian culture. He and his family all love the outdoors, being fit and staying active. Colin is a triathlete and is excited to be here for the Ironman. Maybe one day he will even get to participate in it. For now, he is looking forward to meeting everyone and becoming part of this amazing ‘ohana.
Please join me in wishing Colin and his wife Natascha our warmest aloha as they are welcomed into the Hualalai ‘Ohana. Their daughter Nadja continues to attend UCF in Orlando and looks forward to adventures on Hawai‘i Island over her future holidays.
With Aloha,
Robert Whitfield
