On the Old Hawaiian Island of Molokai, you will walk beaches that sweep away into cobalt blue seas. You will glimpse orchids hidden in the shadows of primeval forests. You will pursue the island's secrets in the mountains, down the valleys, across the plains where cattle graze. You will meet people for whom work and play are one. You will discover a way of life that nurtures the land. The body, the spirit. And, on this most Hawaiian of all Hawaii's islands, you will find a welcome that outshines all others.
Few places on earth are as lovely, and none quite so magical, as the Old Hawaiian Island of Molokai. You find something wondrous wherever you turn your attention--in the shifting play of sea and sand, in the mimic of a waterfall, in yourself.

Our Sales Manager Chris Says ...   The Molokai Ranch is a great choice if your desire is to mix luxury with adventure and activity. The various lodging sites offer a range of adventure-oriented accommodations. There is horseback riding, mountain biking and more!! You can always return to the Lodge for a massage and fine dining when your adventure concludes. Kaupoa Beach Camp offers isolation to "just hang out". It has a double crescent beach with tidal pools and is kid friendly. Great for Families. Our Owner Roz Says ...   The minute you step off the plane in Molokai, you feel the calm, slow-paced lifestyle of this island. You'll see horses & cows in pastures, few cars on the road, and you'll experience the kindness & friendliness of the local people. It's the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The Lodge at Molokai Ranch is an oasis, with a large Great Room in the central lobby, a fire to greet you in the Lodge fireplace, and perhaps a jazz group to entertain you. The Lodge itself has about 22 rooms--6 in the main Lodge building and the others in two adjoining buildings, all offering views of rolling ranch land and the blue Pacific beyond. The Lodge rooms are large with ranch-style decor and old-fashioned claw-foot tubs, plus showers. Down at the Beach Village (which you can visit for part of a day from the Lodge, or stay in a Tentalow), there's a nice beach, though it can easily be non-swimmable due to ocean waves. The Tenalows are getting a bit worn, so be sure you want to "rough it" (though in an upscale style) before booking these. You may also get to see a rare and endangered Monk Seal at near the Beach Village, as the Hawaii State Mammal is a frequent visitor.
