The hotel

A Hawaiian haven on Kauai's North Shore, this beautiful hotel is all about wellness, relaxation, and sustainability. With stunning views over Hanalei Bay, this really is an oceanfront sanctuary where you can enjoy as much or as little activity as you like. The beach is right on your doorstep, be it for a relaxing swim or a spot of paddle boarding and kayaking,and the cute town of Hanalei isn't far away to explore. But the highlight of this hotel (in our opinion) is the spa. With natural and organic products, and individualised treatments, you'll be feeling the effects long after your treatment has finished. The adults-only infinity pool is another highlight, with ocean views and a poolside bar, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet with a cocktail in hand. There's two other pools though, with a shallow one that's particularly suitable for the little ones, whilst Seedlings Kids club is a fun, educational space where the little ones can enjoy a host of activities inspiring imagination and discovery. And we haven't even touched on the food. There's a wide range of bars and reataurants that focus on locally sourced food - we're pretty sure you'll never go hungry here. All in all, this hotel is perfect for active families, solo travellers, and newlyweds alike.

Gorgeous panoramic views of the island in all of its innate beauty from the 1 kitchen. Highly recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes (pictured). 10/10 recommend the spa. I booked a deep tissue massage with Carrie and she was wonderful, kind and knowledgeable. Will be back to see her next time.

Parking is valet only, for another $50, but they will validate your parking if you spend $100 in the restaurant (obviously very easy to do). The views from the restaurant are incredible, the service with Eliza was stellar. She was… Read more

This is a spoil yourself spot, very well done. Read less
