About the location:

A secluded oceanfront retreat on Hawaii's last unspoiled island. On the southeastern coast of the pristine island of Lanai, our five-star, five-diamond resort sits just a moment away from many of the most scenic spots, best reached by foot or 4-by-4, and where the Hawaii found in vintage postcards comes vibrantly to life. Spend your days lounging by our lagoon-style pools, strolling our botanical gardens, reconnecting body and spirit at Hawanawana Spa, and savouring Japanese cuisine at cliff-side NOBU LANAI. From the rugged uplands to the aquatic sanctuary of Hulopoe Bay, the opportunities for adventure – and relaxation – are endless.
