As the shuttle meanders its way through the small plantation town of Lanai City, you notice that there is a genuine spirit to Lanai. Folks wave to one another along roads with few cars and no traffic lights. The island's natural beauty and tranquility begin to seep into your very soul as you leave the worries of the mainland far behind you. The gentle road leads past the nine-hole public Cavendish Golf Course (built in 1947 for Dole's employees) and winds its way along an avenue of majestic Norfolk Island pine trees into the central highlands of Lanai. Here, located in the island's cool upcountry at 1,700 feet, the elegant Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele awaits you.
