At a glance
A Condé Nast Traveller Gold List honoree and Michelin Key recipient, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay is one of Hawaii’s most serious luxury wellness destinations, set on Kauai’s North Shore.
The LEED-certified property’s 252 rooms draw nature indoors through reclaimed teak, sustainable rattan, and organic cotton linens, with views spanning the bay, mountains, or tropical gardens. Grounds incorporate 96,000 square feet of restored native habitat.
Five dining venues anchor a culinary programme built around local sourcing, led by 1 Kitchen’s seasonal menus from the hotel’s organic garden and island farms. The Bamford Wellness Spa and a 10,000-square-foot Anatomy Fitness centre form the wellness core.
Vitality Kaua’i brings functional medicine and advanced diagnostics on-property, while touchless therapies include floatation tanks and hyperbaric oxygen. Beyond the resort, Princeville Makai Golf Club and the Napali Coast provide the backdrop for more active pursuits.
