The area

Princeville crowns the lush north shore plateau above Hanalei Bay, with the island's most dramatic green scenery, golf, and sunset views. Expect more rain, especially in winter, in exchange for the postcard setting; Hanalei town and the north shore beaches are 10 to 20 minutes away.

Booking notes

Expect full-service amenities, notable restaurants, and premium rates that climb further over the winter holidays and summer break. Book four to six months out for the best choice of rooms. Kauai-wide, the cheapest windows are late April to early June and September to mid-December; whale season (December to April) and summer carry premiums. A rental car is near-essential from any base on the island; see our car rental guide and the trip cost calculator to budget the whole stay.

Beaches nearby
