Lanai is one of the smaller islands in the Hawaiian chain, and yet it stands out for its serenity and impressive features. The weather is dependably wonderful, the surrounding waters teem with marine life, and the pace is so slow that you won’t find a traffic light anywhere on the island.
Check into the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay, an ocean-side luxury resort sitting atop one of the island’s signature red-lava cliffs.
Stick around the resort and play a round of cliff-side golf or explore the island, perhaps heading north to Shipwreck Beach, where the wreck of a WWII U.S. tanker sits aground not far from the coast.
