The Manele Bay
Hotel nestles on the tiny Hawaiian island of Lana'i. The hotel overlooks the Pacific Ocean
in all its grandeur, with majestic red-lava cliffs providing a striking contrast and a
reminder of the island's turbulent ancient history.
Location
Lana'i is a 25-minute flight from Honolulu, and a regular daily air service is
available.
Golf
Courses
The Challenge at Manele is a much-celebrated creation of the Golden Bear, Jack
Nicklaus. A par-72 layout and measuring 7,039 yards, the course seductively winds its way
through the island's lava cliffs, high above the ocean below. Not an outing for the
faint-hearted, this golfing challenge requires players to clear lava gorges off the tee at
a number of holes. The Experience at Koele is a par-72 championship course measuring 7,014
yards, and has been designed by one of Australia's greatest and most charismatic golfers,
Greg Norman, along with Ted Robinson. Starting 2,000 feet above sea level, its early holes
lead golfers through an enchanting forested plateau while the remainder of the course has
more of a links feels about it, with undulating fairways, frequent cross-winds from the
neighbouring Pacific and even a couple of waterfalls for golfers' balls to avoid.
