Lanai in Hawaii offers a romantic escapethat’s the perfect setting to deepen your bond with your partner, whether you’re planning a honeymoon or just looking for quality time together. Few places can rival the romance of an island that offers seclusion, perfect weather and pristine beaches.
Amid the hustle and bustle of O’ahu’s Honolulu and Maui’s famous shores lies Lanai, a tiny island measuring just 140 square miles. With its secluded atmosphere, it proves to be an ideal retreat for couples looking for uninterrupted moments together. Escape the typical tourist traps, as there are no towering hotels and urban settlements on Lanai.
That said, don’t think that Lanai doesn’t have a culture or personality. In addition to the breathtaking beaches and vast, open skies, the island has the charming ‘aloha’ way of life associated with Hawaii, as well as local art and delectable cuisine.
There are plenty of opportunities to spend quality time with your loved one in Lanai. ‘Sweetheart Rock’, or Pu’u Pehe, is one of the best places to go with a partner. Legend has it that a warrior committed suicide after losing his bride. The beauty of the site is real, even if the story is made up. Take that special someone to this amazing monument on the southern tip of the island.
A beach trip is an essential part of any Lanai vacation. A popular option for travelers is Hulopoe Beach, close to Pu’u Pehe and a Four Seasons resort. You can enjoy the sun at Shipwreck Beach if you happen to be on the north shore of Lanai.
Lanai won’t let you down if exercise is your idea of a great date. Golf courses and water sports abound, and Lanai Adventure Park is a must-see attraction that will get your heart racing for its thrilling ziplining course and romantic atmosphere. If you enjoy taking long walks together, you can hike the Munro Trail, which on clear days offers views of all six Hawaiian islands.
You’ll want to spend most of your time outside, enjoying the warm weather and admiring the breathtaking coastlines because Lanai’s natural beauty is so amazing. But when it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, you and your partner should have comfortable accommodation that exudes a romantic atmosphere. The lavish adults-only Sensei Lanai in Lanai City is our top choice for couples. With a wellness-focused approach, the resort offers activities for you and your partner to enjoy, such as fitness classes and spa services.
