When you stay at the luxurious Pono Kai Resort in Kauai, you may just find your new favorite getaway. Pono Kai sits directly on the beach, giving guests plenty to do - or, should you decide to simply relax, you can do that, too!
From its slow-turning ceiling fan to its cool tile floor, your accommodation is tropical perfection. Each mini suite and one- or two-bedroom suite is elegantly appointed, most with a kitchen, and tasteful, comfortable furnishings. On-site amenities include immediate beach access, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a hot tub and a sauna.
Perfect sunsets, unspoiled tropical beaches, cascading mountains and the "Grand Canyon" of the Pacific are some of the highlights that make Kauai unique. Surrounded by swaying palms you will find your own Hawaii Paradise at the Pono Kai Resort. Catch a few waves, go kayaking, or head out to explore the area by horseback. If you're looking to wind down, lounge on the beach, by the pool, or practice your game on the putting green. Your accommodations at Pono Kai leave nothing to be desired. The Friendly Garden Island of Kauai is a green island in the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, about 20 minutes by air from Honolulu. The island is approximately 550 square miles in area, and is the geologically oldest and northernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands. It is home to Mount Waialeale, known as the wettest spot on the planet, but on the beach, the sun is beaming.
Say "aloha" to a vacation of tropical perfection!
