The Lodge of Koele • Manele Bay Hotel

For years Lanai was known as the "Pineapple Island," and it's owned, almost exclusively, by Castle and Cooke. You can see 14,000 acres of pineapples on this 140 square miles of Lanai. In the last few years, two world-class hotels have debuted that effectively opened this island to honeymooners. If you looking for a honeymoon that is free of crowds, where you can walk down a beach and the only footprints will be yours, and for resorts that will meet the most discriminating standards, this is the island for you.

Lanai has no commercial attractions, no movie theaters or bowling alleys. Instead you can visit such sights as the Garden of the Gods, where rocks and boulders are scattered across a beautiful landscape. You can spend a day of leisure at Hulopoe Beach, where the waters are so clear that within a minute of snorkeling you can see fish the colors of turquoise and jade. Perhaps you want to visit Lanaihale, a 3,370 foot high, perch from which you can see every inhabited Hawaiian island.

Everything on Lanai is leisurely and lovely. Come, take you time, and enjoy your honeymoon before the island changes to much more.
