Hale Kailani at Poipu Beach Estates
Find your island bliss in a newly built home at Hale Kailani at Poipu Beach Estates. Named for the Hawaiian word that means “heavenly waters,” this beautiful luxury property uses waterfalls and a gorgeous pool for an idyllic ambience. Its six bedrooms can accommodate up to eighteen guests for a family reunion, milestone anniversary or birthday celebration, or a Kauai getaway with friends. Get your fill of the Hawaiian sunshine in private outdoor living areas with a heated swimming pool and plenty of sun loungers, or relax in the shade of the lanai around the alfresco dining table. Heat up the barbecue for dinner, then unwind around the smart TV or share photos via Wi-Fi. For your comfort and convenience, the villa has air conditioning, ceiling fans and laundry facilities. Though it’s newly built, Hale Kailani uses traditional Hawaiian architecture to charming effect, from its bungalow-style exteriors to its vaulted ceilings. The open-concept layout of the L-shaped great room invites conversation, with an expansive space that includes a sitting area, a dining table for ten and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. There are four bedrooms in the main house of this vacation rental and two in a separate cottage, which could be used by parents traveling with older children or a couple wanting a honeymoon-style retreat. In the main house, there are two bedrooms with king beds and ensuite bathrooms, and two bedrooms with a queen bed and two twin bunk beds plus a double pullout bed, respectively, that share a bathroom. Both cottage bedrooms have queen beds. A holiday at Hale Kailani puts you just a 5-minute drive or a 10-minute walk from the nearest white-sand beaches. Poipu Beach Estates is also a short drive from a zipline course, Old Koloa Town, the National Tropical Botanical Garden and two golf courses, giving you a range of activities from which to choose.

All about Kauai

Planning a vacation in Kauai? We’re here to help!

Whether you’re looking for an outdoor adventure, a nature retreat or simply a relaxing beach vacation, Kauai has something for everyone. The oldest of all the Hawaiian islands, and the fourth largest, Kauai is nicknamed the Garden Isle thanks to its lush, green landscape and abundance of tropical plants. It also boasts a stunning array of natural geological features and more miles of sandy coastline than any of its neighbors. With strict regulations prohibiting any building taller than a coconut tree, Kauai has a quieter, more laid-back feel compared to the other Hawaiian Islands – in short, it’s the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape it all.

Kauai offers warm temperatures throughout the year, but from November to March visitors should be prepared for rain, especially on the North and East sides of the island. Kauai’s small airport, Lihue, is serviced by non-stop flights from the west coast of the United States. The trip from Los Angeles takes around six hours.

See the awesome Na Pali Coast

Though it might be hard to reach, this rugged, 15-mile stretch of coastline on the northwest shore of Kauai is a must-see for anyone visiting the island. With sheer cliffs covered in dense greenery towering above the ocean, pristine sandy beaches, plunging valleys and waterfalls, Na Pali is an area of immense natural beauty. Since the steep cliffs make this section of the coast inaccessible to vehicles, Na Pali feels wild and untouched, and you’ll feel transported to a tropical paradise. The easiest way to see Na Pali is by boat, but consider taking a helicopter tour for a bird’s eye view of this stunning landscape.

Treat yourself to a rum tasting

Vacations are all about sampling local produce, so don’t miss out on a trip to the award-winning Koloa Rum Company in Lihue. Housed inside the Kilohana Plantation, which was originally built for a 1930s sugar baron, you’ll get a taste of old Hawaii, as well as some of the distillery’s delicious rums. Founded in 2009, the Koloa Rum Company set out to incorporate ingredients that are native to the Garden Isle, so expect rums infused with flavors such as coconut, coffee and spices. The Kilohana Plantation is also home to shops and galleries selling everything from food to traditional crafts, as well as a restaurant and lounge where the company’s gold rum is served up in the classic Polynesian cocktail, the Mai Tai.

Explore Waimea Canyon

Also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the Waimea Canyon might be smaller than its more famous counterpart, but it is equally awe-inspiring. Approximately ten miles long and 3,000 feet deep, Waimea (which is Hawaiian for ‘reddish water’) was formed millions of years ago by erosion from the Waimea River, along with massive amounts of rainfall. Two lookout points located just off the main road provide excellent views of the crested buttes, deep gorges and craggy rock formations in the canyon below, but more adventurous travelers should head to nearby Koke’e State Park. The range of trails in the park will suit beginner and experienced hikers alike, and there’s really no better way to explore this dramatic landscape.

Kilauea vacation rentals

Located on the North Shore of Kauai, Kilauea is probably best known for its lighthouse, which was built in 1913 to help sailors to deliver supplies to the town, but now serves visitors who come to admire the gorgeous views and to see the array of birds that soar above the ocean. Aside from the lighthouse, this small but charming town has lots to offer: the Kong Lung Historic Market Center is made up of buildings that date back to the 1800s, while the numerous independent shops and restaurants appeal to tourists and locals alike. If you’re planning to stay in this beautiful area, be sure to check out our selection ofKilauea vacation rentals . Featuring luxurious accommodation and fabulous terraces with swimming pools, these villas have everything you need for a dream getaway.

Honeymoon in Kauai

With white sandy beaches, palm trees and the glittering waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Garden Isle is just the place for a truly memorable honeymoon. Whether you go for a heavenly hideaway tucked away in Kilauea’s lush greenery or a characterful home on the edge of the stunning Na Pali Coast, our properties will turn your dreamhoneymoon in Kauai into a reality.
