Lānaʻi is the third-smallest island in the Hawaiian Islands and home to a close-knit family-orientated community of approximately 3,300 residents contributing to its strong sense of community and local pride.  98% of the island is owned by Oracle founder and Sensei Wellness co-founder Larry Ellison, who also owns both on-island Four Seasons resorts located just under 9 miles from each other and the average speed limit in the city is 20 mph.   

Lanai is home to one K-12 school, a gas station, a few owner-operated eateries and sundries stores, a two-screen movie theatre, and the newly renovated Lāna’i City Bowling Alley.

Working on Lānaʻi offers a unique opportunity to be part of a small, collaborative team in a setting where community and connection matter. This lifestyle is best suited for individuals who are excited by serene island living, no stoplights, and are intentionally seeking a slower paced lifestyle.  For those who choose it with intention, living and working on Lānaʻi can be deeply rewarding, offering meaningful work, strong relationships, and a rare sense of place.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
