1 Hotel Hanalei Bay : A Look Inside The Revamped Tropical Oasis In Hawaii

Situated on a hilltop that command breathtaking views of Hanalei Bay on Kauai’s captivating North Shore in Hawaii, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay occupies a truly magnificent location. After undergoing a lavish $300 million transformation, the exquisite resort formerly recognized as St. Regis Princeville has emerged with a new identity as 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay has transformed into a verdant retreat that seamlessly merges with the lush surroundings, with an abundance of plants, camouflaging itself within the vibrant Hawaiian landscape. The construction was an act of reimagination and respect. Existing atop a protected natural wonder, full effort has been made to preserve and strengthen as much of the existing area as possible. Roughly 70% of all plants you see throughout the resort are endemic, indigenous, or Polynesian canoe crops-brought to the island over 1,000 years ago and used to nourish and sustain the first settlers. Now, they work to purify the air, uplift your spirits, provide cultural significance, and blur the lines between interior and exterior.

The 252 rooms and suites have been thoughtfully crafted to seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor realms. You can take your pick when it comes to the view from the room, from stunning views of Hanalei Bay, the Pacific Ocean, majestic mountains, and lush gardens. Some of the rooms and suites even feature their own private terrace with ethereal views of the ocean, sunlit gathering spaces, and perfect to take it all in.

Situated on the beach front, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay offers everything you would want from a luxury Hawaiian getaway. A pristine, swimmable beach lies just steps away, a glittering stretch of sand and surf that is perfect for snorkeling, launching your SUP, paddling above the waves, sandcastle building and exploring the tide pools. The resort also boasts 2 stunning pools. The stunning infinity pool and jacuzzi creates the sense of floating on top of the waves, with full-service private cabanas.

Epic Hiking trails are also in close proximity, there is also opportunity to sharpen your slacklining skills, bird watch, learn about the island’s geological evolution and how to conserve its nature, play tennis, pickleball, and golf views of Mt. Makana and Hanalei Bay, take an archery lesson and hear the sport’s local folklore, go shoreline fishing and feel the tension float away.

There are also plenty of dining options at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. 1 Kitchen is the signature restaurant, founded on plant-forward, hyper-local and sustainably sourced cuisine from the island and its surrounding waters. Head to Welina Terrace for the best sunset views and cocktails on Kaua’i, the resort boasts plenty more options such as the all day café, juice bar, pool side dining and more.

Sustainability is at the core of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay’s foundation, from sustainable bed linens and non toxic, eco friendly mattresses, to rainwater harvesting system being implemented. Coupled with supporting local farmers, fishers, and growers, every one of the dining options prioritizes the health and prosperity of the oceans.
