    Manele Golf Course (Jack Nicklaus)

Resort Overview

In 2012, the tech mogul Larry Ellison bought 98-percent of the island of Lanai for an estimated $300 million. His purchase included this idyllic resort, which sits on bluffs overlooking the Pacific and offers guests exclusive access to the Manele Golf Course, a dramatic Jack Nicklaus Signature course that was built on lava outcrops and employs the ocean as a hazard on three holes. You get what you pay for. In this case, that means unparalleled island luxury.
