Lanai - The secluded isle of Lanai once the summer home of King Kamehameha, is one of Hawaii's smallest islands. It was once a thriving pineapple plantation, and is now a pristine private getaway with two of the world's top rated resorts. A truly unique experience, and popular for the rich & famous.
Lanai offers a large variety of ocean activities. However, visitors should keep in mind that there are no lifeguards on Lanai. Some of its most beautiful beaches are remote and treacherous, especially so during winter months.
Lanai is one of the most unique villages in America. The island of Lanai is the most misunderstood of all of the Hawaiian Islands. It also is one of the least visited of the main Hawaiian Islands. The city was built in the 1920's by the Dole Pineapple Company. Today it is a quaint, town with plantation homes painted in a rainbow of colors.
Lanai is home to art galleries and local artists. A few of those galleries include the Mike Carroll Gallery, and the Heart of Lanai Art Gallery.
