What you'll love about Pono Kai Resort

Say "aloha" to paradise at this 13-acre oceanfront oasis on Kauai’s Coconut Coast. This low-key, family-oriented resort promises a relaxing vacation like no other. From the moment you arrive, the lush landscape of coconut palms, papaya and banana trees, Japanese gardens, herb and vegetable gardens, grasses and flowers will erase all your cares and welcome you to our island utopia. Accommodations range from intimate mini-suites with balconies, to 1- and 2 bedroom suites with master bedrooms, full kitchens and baths, separate living and dining areas and balconies.

No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a visit to the beautiful beaches. Just a few steps away from the resort, you can drench yourself in the sun atop golden sands, snorkel in the turquoise waters and surf or boogie board on the legendary ocean swells. For a more serene experience, enjoy the sun and scenery poolside or lose yourself in the luxury of the hot tub or sauna.

There’s plenty of action at Pono Kai as well, with tennis courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, croquet and putting greens. You can also indulge in local customs with hula or lei-making lessons, or by checking out local arts and crafts vendors, located near the activities desk. While you’re there, our concierge will be happy to book an island excursion for you or make reservations for a luau.

Not sure what to do while on Kauai? The resort offers a  weekly island orientation with complimentary continental breakfast that gives you the rundown on local attractions and activities. Arriving early or catching a late flight? Not to worry! A hospitality suite lets you change clothes or hang out before checking in or after checking out.
