Modern Oceanfront Resort Living. 16' ceilings. Luxury Oceanfront Bedroom Suites.

A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF COMFORT, TRANQUILITY AND ACTIVITIES!

Enjoy a dream home while vacationing in paradise!

"Kalapaki" is Hawaiian for "High Point". Yes we are definitely located on a high location on the Kalapaki Bay Cliff with an amazing oceanfront view. We face directly west as well, the sunsets over the mountains, and across the water are just breathtaking!

Float above Kalapaki Bay in luxury and openness as you enjoy the soft breeze and blue waters of Kauai. View the surf, the beach, turtles and spectacular sunsets from one of 3 private lanais.

Our home is conveniently located right in between the 2 finest resorts in Kauai, the Timbers Kauai Resort, and the Royal Sonesta Resort. You're within a block, to fine dining at both resorts. Pamper yourself, you deserve it!

The 16’ ceilings and 12’ high wall to wall sliding glass doors brings the beauty of Kauai’s Kalapaki Bay into your living room. Relax in comfort with no worries and many options. Stay in the inviting and homey Hale Pali Kai or take a short walk to the beach for a swim. Perhaps tennis, a golf outing or a hike; all without getting in your car.

All 3.5 floors offers comfort and privacy including private lanais in Master Bedrooms. The Master bedrooms boast large bathrooms that open to the bedroom and offer views of the bay and sunset as you bathe.

The main living areas and the bedroom with 2 queen beds are on a central AC system and the 2 oceanfront bedroom suites have their own split AC system. Gentle trade winds and open sliding glass doors coupled with ceiling fans ensure a naturally cool environment. Open the north side widows in the dining and living room for added fresh airflow. Rarely does the house experience any bugs. This is due to the proximity to the ocean.

By staying at my property, golfers can take advantage of Kamaʻāina discounts at adjacent Hokuala (Timbers Resort) golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.

"Hale Pali Kai" is located just 7 minutes from Lihue airport. Your dream vacation awaits you!

Marriott/Royal Sonesta Resort pool and other hotel amenities are available for you to use for a fee. Go to www.ResortPass.com to book your loungers, daybeds & cabanas.

Hawaii’s Breathtaking Kalapaki Beach Tops Our Travel Wish List This Year

The Hawaiian Islands are home to 750 miles of stunning coastline — putting the island state behind Alaska, Florida, and California when it comes to coastline length. And while among that coastline you will find countless rock formations and sea cliffs, the beaches are what truly matters. With so many stunning stretches of sand throughout Hawaii, it can be hard to choose your favorites, but this breathtaking gem tops our travel wish list this year and you’ll want to see why.

Tucked away on the island of Kauai in Lihue at the entrance of Nawiliwili Harbor is the unparalleled Kalapaki Beach. This is one of the island’s most popular beaches, due in part to its fantastic swimming conditions and convenient location to area resorts.

Backed by shops and restaurants as well as the Kauai Marriot Resort and a paved walkway, Kalapaki Beach is not only convenient and easy to find but quite beautiful as well.

At Kalapaki Beach, a crescent of golden sand is contrasted by the sparkling blue of the Pacific Ocean, and the ocean breeze swaying through the palm trees is sure to beckon you to make a splash.

With a sandy, gently-sloping ocean floor, Kalapaki offers phenomenal swimming, and when the ocean conditions are right, it’s an excellent spot for beginners to try bodyboarding and surfing.

Whether you visit Kalapaki Beach to relax and sunbathe or to enjoy swimming or a game of beach volleyball, you’re sure to love this picturesque gem. You can always just sit back and watch the outrigger canoes and cruise ships head in and out of Nawiliwili Harbor.

Despite Kalapaki’s proximity to the Kauai Marriot and docking cruise ships, visitors maintain that its a serene slice of paradise and we certainly agree. That’s why it tops our travel wish list this year.

Some of our reviews/guest comments:

'As beautiful as the pictures are, they don't do the house justice-I loved it!

'Great pad! State of the art everything! Clean, new, location, value! Why stay at a hotel when you can stay at this home?!

'This place is the BOMB' To put it our teenagers words

'This place is top notch in every way!'

'Truly an architectural gem that makes you feel like royalty'

Beautiful location!!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beautiful property! The location was perfect! The views were amazing!! The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable. The beds were super comfy! The only issue we had was upon arrival we were notified that the air conditioning was broken in the main part of the house but they had already set up 2 portable units to keep things cool so it wasn’t bad at all. We would definitely stay here again!

Stunning Views, Great Location, Perfect Space!

We loved our stay with our family here in Lihue. It was a centralized location to be able to get out and explore the island, but still had walkable restaurants, gym(KAC), and the beach. The space was perfect as each room had its own onsuite bathroom which allowed for some privacy when needed. Kendra was great and accommodating! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience- oh and that view!!!

Stay in Lihue

We love staying at this location - I have rented this spot three times. The location of the property cannot be beat - it is central to everything one may want to do on Kauai, but also has plenty of local/walkable amenities. The living space is a great place to spend time with family with a large amount of space, wide open windows and views. Louise and Kendra are responsive to any issues that may arise.

Amazing!

This property was absolutely wonderful! The views were stunning and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It was lovely being able to walk down to the beach and the access to all their beach toys was lovely. I do wish there was a remote for the garage to be able to pull in & out of with ease instead of having to jump out of the car to run and open/close the garage. And oddly enough non of the slider doors seemed to lock but we felt safe enough that we didn’t let it bother us too much. Overall, I would 100% stay here again! It was absolutely amazing!
