Kalani is the "heavenly" place to ground yourself in the spirit and joy of life.
Life is exuberant here on Kalani’s 120 acres of organic agriculture, preserved heritage, and retreat accommodations. Exuberant in fiery lava, in water, in tropical foliage, and exuberant too in people and the spirit of aloha.
Only five miles away is spectacular Volcanoes National Park, where the lava flows into the sea. We are blessed to be upwind! No vog (volcanic smog) here, just the sweet, clean air of the Northeast Trades coming across thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean. Come visit our tropical conservation coast and center yourself with the most awesome sights in the world.
In addition to edu-vacations and workshops, other ways to experience Kalani include:
Volunteer, Sabbatical, Contributing Guest, and Artist in Residence.

Kalani's Featured Plant
The Pohinahina (vitex rotuniflora) is a native groundcover at low elevations, even the beach. It is found from Hawaii to Japan and India and grows wild on Hawaiian beaches. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil or sand.
The Pohinahina is drought tolerant and spreads quickly, growing from 4 to 20 inches high. Leaves are round to oval in shape, 1 to 2 inches in length, greenish-silver in color, and fragrant when crushed. The flowers are small, blueto purple, and are used in leis.
We offer guided nature tours of Kalani every Monday at 1:00 pm, leaving from the Dining Lanai. Come learn about all that Nature offers at Kalani!
