THE ISLAND OF LANA'I
It's a place just a few miles off the coast of Maui, yet
worlds away from the Hawaii most visitors experience.
Once known as the "Pineapple Island", Lana'i
was largely unpopulated for centuries, and remains distinctly unspoiled
still today. It is a landscape of plenty, embracing within a span of nine
miles both the heady beauty of the tropics and the majestic splendor of
the mountains. It is home to two peerless luxury resorts offering championship
golf, tennis, and sporting clays — as well as award-winning gourmet
dining and world-class spa treatments. All this, surrounded by miles of
untouched wilderness and silken beaches...a mere twenty-five minutes by
air from Honolulu.
Land Activities
For
the action oriented, imagine the thrill of an Eco Adventure across rugged
terrain on a 4x4 or mountain bike trek. Or a horseback ride through soaring
pine forests and vast meadows bursting with wildflowers. Or a sunrise
helicopter tour through plunging alpine valleys. You'll also find experiences
that seem surprisingly out of place on a tropical island, such as clay
target shooting, archery, lawn bowling, and a perfectly manicured croquet
lawn. Lanai's spectacular Lodge At Koele is home to a fitness center,
tennis courts, an executive putting green, and The Experience at Koele
- rated the best golf course in the world by the readers of Conde Nast
Traveler. The Lodge at Koele also hosts the Visiting Artist Program, where
celebrated chefs, authors, and musicians share their talents.
Ocean Activities
Come
eye to eye with a spinner dolphin on a snorkeling excursion. Cleanse your
spirit on a private sailing adventure. Lose yourself amid endlessly fascinating
tide pools. For the sportsman, Lanai's coast is rife with possibility
- including deep sea fishing, fitness hikes, scuba diving, ocean rafting,
or The Challenge at Manele - a Jack Nicklaus masterpiece perched 200 feet
above the crashing surf. The Manele Bay Hotel is home to a spacious tennis
center, Hawaiian crafts classes, the renowned amenities of The Spa at
Manele, and the Visiting Artist Program - where celebrated chefs, authors
and musicians share their talents.
