Lānaʻi

Hawaiʻi's Most Enticing Island

Scroll to Continue

Welcome to Lānaʻi

The smallest inhabited island travelers may visit in Hawaiʻi, Lānaʻi offers big enticements to its visitors. Only nine miles from Maui yet a world away, Lānaʻi can feel like two places. The first is found in luxurious resorts where visitors can indulge in world-class amenities and championship-level golf. The other is found bouncing along the island’s rugged back roads in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to explore off-the-beaten-path treasures. You’re sure to find serenity, adventure and privacy on any of the three regions of Lānaʻi.
