Cuisine: Healthy Food and Outdoor Dining

The Lanai at Kalani

Three times a day, guests and staff are summoned by the call of the conch to dine on our open-air lanai (veranda). At this central gathering place, you can experience the daily rhythms of assembly and departure reminiscent of ancient village life.

Kalani cuisine encompasses a variety of styles including Thai, Indian, and Italian. Our chefs have extensive training and a common interest in creating healthful and delicious meals.

We celebrate the abundance of Hawaii by serving local tropical fruits and vegetables and fresh caught fish. Seafood is often served at dinner (chicken and beef are served occasionally), and vegetarians are well cared for.

Most importantly, our chefs firmly believe that the care and love invested in the cuisine is transmitted to the diner, and everything is prepared with aloha.

Kudos to the chefs!

One of the many blessings of being in residence at Kalani is rolling onto the dining lanai to discover and savor each meal time's bounty.  Always fresh and often inventive, the menus always nourish the bigger values of Kalani, staff and guests.  The character of whoever is in the kitchen at any time clearly flavors each dish. One thing that I always look forward to is the salad spread and those amazing salad dressings.

When I think of Retreats at Kalani, I immediately taste the food, smell the desserts and kiss the sky!  The Kalani way of eating – healthy, abundant, creative, green, local, nothing wasted and cooked up with love.  Wow, what a treat!
