Recently recognized as one of Travel + Leisure's Top 20 Favorite Resorts, Hanalei Colony Resort offers an authentic North Shore experience away from the crowds. The secluded beachfront setting is ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, or anyone looking to unwind in one of Kauai's most beautiful locations. The Hanalei Day Spa is just across the parking lot, while the resort's restaurant and coffee shop/gallery make it easy to relax without leaving the property. Hanalei's shops, restaurants, and galleries are only about a 15-minute drive away.

This upstairs corner condo enjoys exceptional views in every direction. Spend your mornings on the spacious covered lanai listening to the waves, or gazing on palm trees and beaches and green mountains, then stroll downstairs for a walk on the beach just moments from your door.

The primary bedroom features a king bed and can be separated from the living area with traditional sliding shoji screens, providing visual privacy while allowing cooling ocean breezes to circulate throughout the unit. The second bedroom offers a queen bed and beautiful ocean views, with sliding doors that provide visual privacy. (Because the partitions are not fully soundproof, guests should keep late-night noise to a minimum.)

The comfortable living and dining areas are surrounded by large picture windows that frame dramatic views of Wainiha Bay, the rugged Kauai coastline, open ocean, and lush mountains dotted with waterfalls. The open kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for preparing simple meals or serving takeout after a day of exploring the island. Both bathrooms were recently updated, and you'll love pampering yourself in the new walk-in shower that was added to the primary bath.

To preserve the peaceful atmosphere that has made Hanalei Colony Resort so special for decades, the condos do not have televisions. Complimentary WiFi is provided, making it easy to stream your favorite shows—or disconnect completely, if that's more your style.

As a guest in this privately managed condo, you'll enjoy full access to the resort's amenities, including the swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue area, and guest laundry facilities. Please note that a few services provided exclusively to guests who book directly through the resort—such as towel exchange and the resort shuttle—are not available to private rentals.

Hanalei Colony Resort was built in a simpler era, and its design reflects that timeless character. The condos are cozy, with compact kitchens intended for easy vacation cooking rather than gourmet entertaining. To preserve the property's authentic charm, you'll notice a few modern conveniences are intentionally absent: there are no dishwashers or in-unit washers and dryers (a guest laundry room is available), and most condos do not have televisions. It's all part of the slower pace that makes this special corner of Kauai so memorable.

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

    There was construction ongoing on the unit directly across from the unit we rented. Also if you book your unit using Expedia then you can Not use the Resorts curtesy van that takes you to the beach as the resort beach is Not swimmable

    Fabulous views of both the beach and the mountains from the windows inside the room as well as the balcony. Perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of busier parts of the island but close enough to amenities to get whatever you need and do whatever you like.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location right near the beach and secluded enough so you feel like it's all for you. We loved eating breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean, playing on the beach, swimming in the divinely-warm pool and soaking in the hot tub. This place has it all! Highly recommend and will be coming back!

    Amazing location!!! Nice people. Beautiful new pool area. We loved that there was a restaurant and little shop with gifts and snacks on property. The buildings themselves are a bit outdated but still charming. Our only real complaint was the cleaning products used in the unit. We could feel whatever was used to mop the floors on our feet and found the laundry detergent too scented. But that’s an easy fix.

    Overall the property was nice and close to the ocean. Our unit did have a bad issue with cockroaches. We found them in the kitchen, bathroom and ceiling. We had to throw out a lot of food before we saw them as they had gotten into our food. We killed more than a dozen a day but they kept coming. In the end the manager did send pest control but it was too late for us as they came after we already had left for the airport.

    If you love crowds, being catered to, loads of screaming kids and tourists, this is not your place. If you crave a slice of local living in a serene, parred down environment with breathtaking views, this will be your jam. Tucked out of the way and secluded at the tip top of the island, you'll feel like part of the North Shore community within days of your arrival. We simply didn't want to leave. Be prepared to do a bit of driving in order to get to certain activities on the island, but it's worth it. We're already planning our next stay...

    HCR offers an excellent oceanfront location for visitors looking for a stay off the beaten path. The area is quiet, semi-secluded and a short drive to the charming town of Hanalei. However, the unit itself is not a true One Bedroom. This is due to the lack of floor to ceiling walls. Because of this, the unit does not offer much privacy for members of the same party staying in the same unit.

    The condo is tastefully appointed with a comfortable bed, lovely lanai with an ocean view, and all the amenities we were looking for. The secluded location and natural beauty of the resort property are 5-star. We especially appreciated the quiet of the location away from the parking lot and the street.

    Sounds a bit fatalistic doesn’t it? I have never felt such peace and joy and calm as I did in this sweet condo. The ocean was steps away and lulled me to sleep each night and greeted me in the morning. Sunrises were indescribable. The condo is on the second floor of a four plex and has everything you need. We sat on the lanai and just stared at the magnificent ocean, then turned our heads and stared at the majestic Nepali mountain range. We fixed our own meals nightly - which was a good thing since you’re pretty much at the end of the island. The kitchen was small and dated but served our needs perfectly. The grounds and pool were impeccably maintained. We’ll be coming back every year.
