Lana’i City

Lana’i City, located just three miles north of the airport, was established in the early 1900s as a plantation town at the heart of the island's thriving pineapple industry. Lana’i used to produce 75 percent of the world's pineapples, and the fruit is still celebrated in the city's annual Pineapple Festival. Lana’i City, located in the central highlands of Lana’i and at an elevation of 1,700 feet, is noticeably cooler than the island's coastal areas. Many of Lana’i City's shops, restaurants, and businesses are located near Dole Park. This grassy area is a popular gathering, meeting, and picnic spot for locals. On a sunny afternoon, the park's towering pines provide just the right amount of shade.

Lana’i City is also a great place to go for unique shopping, cheap dining, and learning about history and culture. Visit the Local Gentry, a small boutique clothing store with one-of-a-kind items. The Lana’i Art Center exhibits the work of local artists, ranging from ceramics to watercolors. Or are you interested in learning about Lana’i's unique cultural history? Then, stop by the Lana’i Culture & Heritage Center for assistance in planning a visit to one of the many cultural and historical sites on Lana’i. Grab a cup of coffee from Coffee Works after window shopping or visiting cultural sites or pull up a chair at the Blue Ginger Café, Café 565, or Pele's Other Garden for a true local dining experience. Enjoy the local entertainment and ambiance at Lana’i City Grille for entertainment. The Four Seasons Resort Lana’i also has additional dining and shopping options.
