Lanai

Lanai was once the world’s largest pineapple plantation and the smallest Hawaiian Island. It is a fantastic resort favoured by the very rich for its two world class golf courses. It does attract real folk for holidays too. Make the most of this resort with wonderful hotels in stunning settings  with plenty of spas and facilities to spoil you. 

There is ancient folklore about it being inhabited by evil spirits, but an enterprising man called Laululaau landed there and declared it free of evil spirits. Since then it has entertained the likes of Bill Gates and Golfing Champions.

With much to do on this fascinating small island apart from knock a little white ball into a hole with a golf club,  a must see visit is The Garden Of The Gods.  The Gods allow you in via bicycle or four wheel drive.  Seven miles North of Lanai City, it is an extraordinary rock garden which is like being in a picture book of the moon from a dated children’s annual. It’s lunar like setting has an air of magical mystery. Dramatic, particularly at dawn when the rising sun casts wonderful shadows which  bring out the rocks’ strong colours. You can see wonderful views like no other of the Pacific Ocean from The Garden of the Gods .
