Located
in the dramatic central highlands of the private island of Lana'i,
The Lodge at Koele is a gracious retreat amidst manicured lawns,
gardens and towering Cook Island pines. Balancing peaceful tranquillity
with a wealth of exciting activities, The Lodge offers a one-of-a-kind
experience embracing both the highlands and the ocean. There
is hiking, horseback riding and tennis, and golf on two world-ranked
courses. A pastoral inland sanctuary, The Lodge at Koele offers
a refreshing, unexpected interpretation of Hawaii’s natural
beauty.
The Lodge at Koele will be undergoing significant enhancements
throughout 2006. Though it will remain open, there will be limited
availability of guest rooms. However, dining, golf and other
recreational amenities will be available throughout the year
for guest enjoyment. Plans are currently underway for the complete
renovation of all guestrooms, suites and public spaces as well
as the addition of a new freestanding Wellness Center and Spa.
The guestroom and public space renovation will be complete in
late 2006 and the Wellness Center and Spa will open mid 2007.
The Lodge at Koele, set in the central highlands of the Island
of Lanai, is one of Hawaii's rare inland hotels. The Lodge,
reminiscent of a fine country estate features an upcountry Hawaiian
setting with an extensive collection of Pacific art, Japanese
hillside garden and Hawaiian fruit gardens. The lodge is situated
on the outskirts of Lanai City, the island's only town. Secluded
among decades-old towering Norfolk pines at an elevation of
1,600 feet, the Lodge at Koele has the ambiance of a worldly
plantation owner's residence.
Its 102 luxurious rooms and suites, some with fireplaces, offer
uncompromising comfort with hand-carved four-poster beds, ceiling
fans, oil paintings by local artists and views of the pastoral
countryside. Secluded gazebos, acres of gardens, sculptures,
and an English conservatory grace the grounds.
The Lodge at Koele's grounds are a study in serenity, yet activities
abound. Enjoy a game of tennis or a round or two on the spectacular
18-hole championship golf course, "The Experience at Koele".
The tranquil swimming pool and outdoor whirlpool prove the perfect
spot to read and relax.
