Featured Villas
Kauai is a nature lover’s paradise, offering dramatic landscapes and unforgettable outdoor experiences. When you stay in one of our Kauai beach villas or vacation rentals, you’ll find plenty of activities and sights to see nearby. A few of our top things to do in Kauai include:
Hike the Na Pali Coast
One of the most iconic coastlines in the world, the Na Pali Coast is best explored by boat, helicopter, or hiking the legendary Kalalau Trail. The views are absolutely jaw-dropping.
Visit Waimea Canyon
Nicknamed the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” this colorful gorge offers panoramic lookouts, scenic hikes, and a glimpse into Kauai’s rugged interior.
Relax at Hanalei Bay
Surrounded by misty mountains and taro fields, Hanalei is a charming surf town with a laid-back vibe, crescent-shaped beach, and excellent local dining.
Snorkel at Tunnels Beach
Located on Kauai’s North Shore, this pristine beach is known for its clear water, vibrant reef, and dramatic backdrop—perfect for snorkeling or relaxing in paradise.
Explore Wailua River
Paddle or boat up this sacred river to see Fern Grotto, Secret Falls, and ancient Hawaiian temples tucked into the rainforest.
Travel Between Seasons
The best times to visit Kauai are late spring (April–June) and fall (September–November) when the weather is ideal, crowds are lighter, and villa availability is better.
Book Outdoor Adventures Early
Popular experiences like Na Pali Coast boat tours or helicopter rides can sell out quickly—booking in advance is key. Our concierge team is happy to recommend and help you secure the best adventures Kauai has to offer.
North vs. South Shore
The North Shore (Hanalei, Princeville) is lush and quiet, while the South Shore (Poipu) is sunnier and more resort-style. Consider Kauai villas on both shores for the full experience.
Embrace Eco-Friendly Travel
Kauai is deeply connected to nature—respect wildlife, pack out what you bring in, and use reef-safe sunscreen to help protect the island’s ecosystems.
Support Local Artisans
Visit Kauai’s farmers markets, art galleries, and small shops to experience authentic local flavor and support the island’s community.
