Lanai Vacations

Secluded, upscale and wonderfully quiet. Lanai pairs the snorkeling of Hulopoe Bay and the drama of Sweetheart Rock with Four Seasons luxury — Hawaii’s private-feeling island escape.

Lanai is Hawaii’s smallest publicly accessible island and its most exclusive — once the world’s largest pineapple plantation, now a serene escape of red-dirt roads, empty beaches and two Four Seasons resorts. Snorkel the protected turquoise of Hulopoe Bay (often with spinner dolphins), gaze up at Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock), bounce over the lunar Garden of the Gods (Keahiakawelo), and wander charming little Lanai City. It’s luxury and seclusion in equal measure — and a specialist arranges the resort, the ferry from Maui and the tours.
