The central town of Lanai City hosts
Hotel Lanai, an amazing and historical building turned Bed
and Breakfast in Lanai City (originally built in 1923); with
11 rooms for rent. There are two Four Seasons resort hotels,
Mānele Bay and the
Lodge at Koele with luxurious accommodations. These two
intimate resorts serve those who want to "get away from it all"
yet want to be pampered in the process.
The “
Garden
of the Gods” [(Keahikawelo) is one of Lanai’s most fascinating
natural wonders, and is a sacred place enjoyed by visitors,
locals and geology buffs time and time again. These large scattered
rock formations were formed over thousands of years by continuous
erosion. The best time to catch the spectacular light glistening
off the formations is in the early morning or late evening.
Amazing does not even describe this fascinating place on earth.
The sun's rays hit the minerals contained within the rocks and
display an array of color changes.
Lanai's
Hulopoe Beach Park is a glorious part of this little island
and is located on the south east coast near the Manele Bay boat
landing. The beautiful golden sand invites beach lounging. The
waters surrounding the park are a marine reserve and snorkeling
is particularly popular due to the multitude and variety of
tropical fish that live in the coral filled crystal waters.
Scuba diving the
“Pyramids”, named after the massive amounts of pyramid butterfly
fish that make these pinnacles home, off the south coast of
Lanai is world class.
The Kanepuu Preserve is
one of Earth’s most fragile eco-systems; 590 acres with at least
48 documented species of native plants. 
The Hawaiian Island archipelago is the most isolated grouping
of islands on Earth at about 1,860 miles from the nearest continent.
Lanai has been controlled by Maui since before recorded history. Today it is still designated as an island of “Maui County”
Bill and Melinda Gates chose to be married on Lanai in 1994.
Lanai is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands with 140
square miles (364 km) of land. The highest mount is Lanaihale
