Location

Hotel Information
Accommodation
The 252 rooms, including 51 suites (of which 3 have private terraces), offer views of the ocean from Hanalei Bay, lush green gardens, or the mountains of Kauai. Instead of traditional terraces or balconies, most rooms feature large windows that can be fully opened, seamlessly blending the outside world with the interior. The furniture, wooden accents, and decor are largely locally crafted and kept as natural as possible. Additionally, charming traditional elements, such as a Punai sofa bed, are incorporated, along with a sustainable water tap with filtered water.
Swimming pool
Indulge yourself in one of the 3 heated pools or hot tubs while enjoying the breathtaking views of the landscape and the ocean. There is also the option to rent one of the 7 cabanas or daybeds.
Restaurants
The specialty restaurant 1 Kitchen is based on a plant-focused, hyper-local, and sustainably sourced cuisine from the island and surrounding waters. Led by nature, the menu at 1 Kitchen is highly seasonal, designed by Executive Chef Ron Pietruszka to showcase the best ingredients from the farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and growers of Kaua'i.
Known for the best sunsets on Kaua'i, Welina Terrace is a modern, Japan-inspired lounge overlooking Hanalei Bay. Enjoy a delicious menu with more than 26 types of sake, Japanese whiskeys and beers, organic sustainable wines, and craft cocktails, complemented by shareable dishes crafted by Chef Misao Masuda.
The Neighbors Café offers a wonderful breakfast with excellent Hanalei Coffee and fresh juices. The Sandbox located by the pool, provides sweeping panoramas of Hanalei Bay, with a menu of locally produced, classic Hawaiian beach dishes. Kai Maika'i by 1 Kitchen is a tranquil restaurant at the adults-only infinity pool, offering spectacular views of the ocean, lush mountains, and tropical flora. For ice, visit Wai’Oli, where you can also find traditional Hawaiian shaved ice. The perfect spot for a fresh smoothie is The Juice Bar.
