Celebrate With Your “hoapili” in Paradise

 

HOAPILI is the Hawaiian word for CLOSE FRIEND

 

You definitely won’t be the same person at the Hanalei Bay Resort that you are at home. You and the girls will experience true paradise. Here the world moves a little more slowly. Smiles replace frowns. Stress dissipates. Instinct takes precedence over intellect.  The spirit of Aloha truly starts to mean something.

 

Hanalei Bay Resort is what your mind pictures when you think of a Pacific paradise. Soft, white sand beach. Tradewind-cooled days. Cobalt-blue ocean. Plumeria-scented nights.

134 spacious one bedroom suites overlook either tropical courtyards or wide expanses of open, blue ocean.

 

Surrounded by 45 challenging holes of golf.Princeville Resort’s Prince and Makai golf courses feature some of Hawaii’s most beautiful golf holes, all from the vivid imagination of world-famous golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

Tennis on our eight plexi-paved courts becomes even more challenging when you can’t decide whether to keep your eye on the ball or the view.

 

Luscious Pan Pacific cuisine.

Gentle tradewinds cool the open-air Bali Hai restaurant while stunning sunsets enhance the experience of dining at perhaps the most romantic spot on Kauai’s North Shore.
