Discovering Paradise is part of anyone's journey to Hawaii. These are a few of our favorite local spots to get you started!

Java Kai Coffee House

5-5183C Kuhio HWY
One of our favorite things to do in the morning or early evening is to sit on the front porch of Java Kai, sip a cup of their amazing coffee, and people watch. Located in the heart of Hanalei, this warm and friendly spot is great for kicking back and meeting some of the locals.



Massage Studio

Right next door, and upstairs, to Java Kai is the best place to get a massage. Mia and Maria are top notch therapists. One of our favorite treatments is the rain drop massage.





Princeville Golf Course

Princeville has 45 of the most beautiful, tropical holes of golf in the world. They range along green bluffs that skirt mountains and the bluest ocean, offering stunning views everywhere you look. Our condo is on the 9th hole of the Makai course.



Blossoming Lotus restaurant

Rated the #1 Vegan restaurant in Hawaii, Blossoming Lotus offers unreasonably tasty food for reasonable prices. If you can eat vegetables, you can enjoy a wonderful meal here.




Anara Spa
anaraspa.com

On the South side of the island, in Poipu, is the best spa on the island. Anara is located in the Hayatt Resort. If you want to spend a day pampering yourself, this is the place to do it!




Hanalei Fish Market

Located in Hanalei Family Center: 5-5299 C Kuhio Highway Hidden behind a gallery called Ola's is the Hanalei fish market and adjoining steak- and-seafood restaurant, on the banks of the Hanalei River. If you plan to cook dinner in the condo, you can't find better fish than this. We recommend going early in the day so you can get the fish right after it's loaded off the boat.


Hanalei Dolphin Restaurant

Fish Market Hours: Daily 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Restaurant Hours: Daily 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM






Breakfast at the Princeville Resort

Just down the road of our condo is the world- class Princeville Resort. We love going there for the breakfast buffet on the outdoor patio. The food is great and the views are stunning!




Queen's Bath

Queen's Bath is one of the most unique and refreshing swimming areas on the island. The "pool" is carved into a lava shelf overlooking the coast and is the size of several swimming pools.

From Princeville, turn right onto Ka Haku Road (there is a guard house at the entrance). Go till you locate Punahele road and take a right onto it. Just before the dead end of Punahele you will see Kapiolani. Turn right onto Kapiolani and park just to the left on a stretch of grass near the houses. Follow the dirt path down to Queen's bath. Please note: Queen's Bath is closed during Winter months.
