About the Cuisine & Meals:

Three times a day guests and staff are summoned by the call of the conch to dine in Kalani’s open-air lanai (veranda) and enjoy the delicious wholesome cuisine. 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 fresh Thai, Indian, and Italian. The chefs have extensive training and a common interest in creating healthful and delicious meals, and celebrate the abundance of Hawaii by serving local tropical fruits and vegetables, and fresh caught fish. Seafood is often served at dinner (chicken is served occasionally), and vegetarians and vegans are well cared for.

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

“ ..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!”

- James Wanless / Creator, Voyager Tarot / International Tarot/Self-Improvement Facilitator

One of the many blessings of being 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.

- Lara McIntosh - Wassa Dance / Dancer, Teacher / International Workshop Facilitator

“ ..The food at Kalani is consistently incredibly delicious and really first-rate. I especially look forward to the amazing breakfasts with the abundance of fresh and exotic fruits. Every time I come the food gets even better, how do you do it? Outstanding job and kudos to the chefs!”

- Erica Sofrina / Founder, West Coast Academy of Feng Shui / International Workshop Leader
