Molokaʻi / Lānaʻi, Hawaii

About this city

Moloka-i and L-na-i are two neighboring, contrasting islands located in Maui County, together representing the quieter and more preserved frontier of old Hawaii. Moloka-i is deeply rural and traditional, holding some of the world's tallest sea cliffs and a history defined by its preserved indigenous lifestyle and the historic Kalaupapa colony. L-na-i, conversely, has evolved from the world's largest pineapple plantation into an ultra-exclusive, private island luxury retreat wrapped in rugged pine-covered highlands.
