Design:

Having emerged from the sea millions of years before its neighboring islands, Kaua'i is home to the softest sands, grandest rivers and most verdant rain forests in all of Hawai'i. Archaeological evidence suggests that Kaua'i was the first island populated by seafaring Polynesians about 400 A.D. Historically, the name Kaua'i has been translated to mean "season of abundance" or "time of plenty".

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay resides on the northern shore of the "Garden Island". Located in the 9,000 acre resort community of Princeville at Hanalei, this ocean side enclave provides residents and visitors all the amenities you would expect from an island destination considered by many to be one of the most spectacular in Hawai'i.

The Lihue Airport is approximately 32 miles south of Princeville and served by inter-island and major airline carriers.

Guests of 1Hotel Hanalei Bay reside in a bastion of tropical sophistication, surrounded by interiors reflecting Kaua'i's rich abundance, cuisine that celebrates local flavors and an array of activities as thrillingly diverse as the island itself.

Extra perks:

Your private reception will include the following: private breathtaking venue, white or Ivory Rivolta linens from Italy, Rosenthal fine bone china, Spiegelau Stemware, 72 -inch tables, imperial tables and rectangular tables; cocktail tables and cake table, and wedding bar set-up. Specialty linens in a variety of fabrics are available for an additional fee, and floral décor and music are available for additional fees.
