Hawaii Travel: Lanai Island Vacations
admin
Vacationing in Lanai offers a refreshing mix of pampered luxury and wilderness adventure. No matter what your interests are, youll find a perfect activity to suit you needs on the island. From world-class golfing to remote mountain hikes, the island of Lanai has something for everyone.
As recently as the 1980s, Lanai was little more than a retired farming village with acres of former pineapple plantations slowly being reclaimed by the elements. The boom days of pineapple production behind, the island began to look for other means of continuing its economy. In the end, the same company that ran the pineapple business for nearly 60 years turned into the Lanai Company and began building luxury resorts.
Vacationing in Style
From 1923 until the early 1990s, the only hotel on the island was the quaint Hotel Lanai. While a nice hotel by any standards, Hotel Lanai was hardly a resort hotel. The rooms were simple yet comfortable and the amenities were limited. Set in the hills overlooking Lanai City, the location was not very conducive to beachfront vacationing.
About 10 years ago, construction was completed on the two new luxury hotels that would soon transform the island in to a haven for vacationers. The Manele Bay Hotel and the Lodge at Koele cater to guests who desire more than just a bed and a shower. The hotels feature everything from leather furniture to breathtaking ocean and countryside views from the balconies. Staying in these luxurious hotels might not be as expensive as you think when you book a package deal. Often, vendors who offer packages do so because they receive discounted rates.
