Lanai is one of the smaller and less traveled islands in Hawaii. For much of the 20th century the island was mainly inhabited by locals and employees of the largest pineapple plantation in the world. In the early 1980's, the growing and harvesting of pineapples met its end on Lanai because the Dole Company sold the plantation to the corporation of Castle ... Cook. After the sale and under new ownership, Lanai was transformed into the current exclusive vacation destination. There are three hotels on Lanai: The Four Seasons Resort at Manele Bay, The Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, and the Hotel Lanai. The Resort at Manele Bay is the only Lanai hotel located on the beach and it was built atop the cliffs above the beach. The Lodge at Koele is located near the top of the highest point of elevation on the island and is seated among a pine forest and exotic gardens. Hotel Lanai, located in the heart of Lanai City, was designed to resemble an antiquated plantation style home. The Four Seasons Resort at Manele Bay combines dazzling Asian and Mediterranean features with the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Perched on the red lava cliffs above Hulopoe Beach, the hotel boasts the best beach for swimming, surfing, and snorkeling on Lanai. The Manele Bay is the most luxurious of the hotels on Lanai with its large hand painted murals, its many exotic gardens and oriental antiques. The Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, located 8 miles from the ocean, is at an elevation of 1700 feet. This hotel is located amidst the forest of Cook Pines and was designed to resemble an old hunting lodge. The Lodge at Koele is in fact the largest wooden building in the whole of Hawaii. The hotel is probably the most novel of the hotels on Lanai. Radiating charming old world European splendor, the large stone fireplaces, high beam ceilings, large old rugs and over stuffed antique furniture, The Lodge is easily as lavish as any hotel. It is encased by rolling hills, expansive lawns, gardens and is also home to one of the two championship golf courses on the island, The Experience at Koele. The Hotel Lanai was around long before the other two Lanai hotels. The hotel was originally built to house guests and executives of the Dole Corporation. Renovated in 1994, the Hotel Lanai offers guests a clean comfortable stay in a period style plantation hotel located right in the center of Lanai City. Whichever hotel on Lanai you choose, you will feel right at home with the locals and the staff on Lanai. The people of Lanai are incredibly gracious and helpful and will let you know that they are genuinely glad you chose Lanai, their island, to spend your time your time and your money.
