BARBARA KRAFT; COURTESY OF FOUR SEASONS RESORT LANAI; COURTESY OF HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY MAY 2017 BCBUSINESS 73 Lanai may be a newly renovated playground for the rich, but it hasn't forgotten its history EAT In Larry Ellison's move upmarket, global eatery Nobu opened an outpost at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai (wagyu beef served on lava rock; opakapaka, or Hawai- ian pink snapper) showcasing local flavours and the chain's impeccable service. Rates, while still Nobu-steep, offer a kind of street-pricing—there's no additional upcharge for all those barged-in ingredients. Besides the movie theatre and retro- fitted Richards Market (which now has an excellent wine selection), the circa-1925 Lanai City's vintage charm is virtually unchanged. Stop by Blue Ginger Café for local fare (mahi mahi; panko-fried chicken) and French toast by the slice: one for $3, two for $5 or three for $6.50. PLAY Trekking in Lanai often means never seeing another soul, a sense of isolation ampli- fied by the drive to the remote north shore's Shipwreck Beach. Here, the eerie, rusting hulk of a Second World War transport ship sits stranded on a reef just offshore. Look but don't touch: the waters here are too dangerous to swim in. The Lanai Pine Sporting Clays & Archery is now under the umbrella of Four Seasons, which has upgraded the facilities and bought shiny new Beretta Silver Pigeons. Guests can shoot clay pigeons like landed gentry, all in the confines of the grounds, a short drive from the resort. • www.eclipseawards.com | 614 Alexander St. Vancouver, BC RECOGNIZE. EMPOWER.
