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 Property and Memories to Last Forever!

Most of the experience was a solid 5 stars, except a few kinks which is normal for a new hotel, especially one on a more remote island. It’s a fabulous property and an ambitious brand that does so much so well. Design, thoughtfulness, warm, helpful and lovely people, location is off the chart gorgeous, food was delicious.

Most of the experience was a solid 5 stars, except a few kinks which is normal for a new hotel, especially one on a more remote island. It’s a fabulous property and an ambitious brand that does so much so well. Design, thoughtfulness, warm, helpful and lovely people, location is off the chart gorgeous, food was delicious. It’s a solid place and well worth going. It’s so new and so much is right it’s worth giving the chance but know they are doing their best and go out of their way to deliver. I appreciate how humble they are and willing to work on anything that wasn’t quite right. The pool and the Japanese Reataurant were our favorite. Also, the concierges Derek and Andrea were exceptional! And an item that was missing was found and they contacted me and shipped back to me right away. That doesn’t happen, ever! 1 Hotel Hanalei has my loyalty and I was already planning to return before I left. So excited for my next trip. Ma’halo

It truly feels like being in paradise and you have the backdrop of volcanoes and blue water ahead of you. I felt at peace and bliss the entire time. The staff is wonderful and so accommodating- from the spa, to the gift shop, to the yoga teachers everyone is so kind and helpful. I would come back here and a heartbeat and feel lucky to have experienced the magic.
