Lanai Arts & Culture
What was once a quiet pineapple plantation has now become a vibrant island of Art and Culture. The unique Lanai Visiting Artists Program allows resort guests and the island community a rare opportunity to mingle with talent from around the world. Famous musicians, writers, filmmakers and the finest culinary artists have been coming to Lanai since 1992 to participate in this program. In intimate settings at The Lodge at Koele and The Manele Bay Hotel, these visiting artists showcase their talents and share their passions with relatively small audiences. During the summer months, visiting chefs offer free cooking demonstrations. Sunday dinners are offered after each presentation.
Lanai Culture & History
 A place of deep cultural significance, Lanai boasts many historical sites, old fishing villages, and unique topographical features like the boulder-strewn Keahikawelo. In the center of the island, Lanai City features thoroughly and lovingly restored landmarks, including the lovely Lanai Playhouse and Theater and the charming Hotel Lanai, both dating from the 1920's. A prehistoric mystery lingers in Luahiwa, where visitors will find 34 boulders featuring intriguing petroglyphs carved by ancient Hawaiians.
