Named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best resorts in Hawaii, Princeville Resort is a premier choice for families embarking on a Kauai surf trip. Perched above legendary Hanalei Bay, the resort offers stunning views of the North Shore and easy access to powder-soft beaches, crystal-clear waters, and spectacular surfing and snorkeling. A combination of bespoke service and 251 elegant guestrooms and suites makes guests feel as though they’ve arrived at a home away from home – just one that facilitates ample relaxation and takes care of all tedious tasks.
All rooms are finely appointed and adorned with rich colors, plush furniture and sweeping views of the ocean, gardens or mountains. When guests aren’t luxuriating in their room, the resort provides an abundance of amenities like a large outdoor pool overlooking the ocean, an award-winning, full-service spa, modern fitness facilities, top-rated golf courses, and gourmet dining. Paddleboards and kayaks can also be rented.
This resort is a dream for families with a range of surfing abilities, as Hanalei Bay provides a range of waves with both reef and point breaks. On the South side of Hanalei Pier is Kiddies, a gentle rolling wave ideal for beginners. The Eastern point of the bay contains four reef breaks – The Bowl, Flat Rock, Impossibles and Super-Impossibles – that can connect to bigger northeastern swells, and offer one of the longest rides in Hawaii.
