A Hawaiian haven on Kauai's North Shore, this beautiful hotel is all about wellness, relaxation, and sustainability. With stunning views over Hanalei Bay, this really is an oceanfront sanctuary where you can enjoy as much or as little activity as you like. The beach is right on your doorstep, be it for a relaxing swim or a spot of paddle boarding and kayaking,and the cute town of Hanalei isn't far away to explore. But the highlight of this hotel (in our opinion) is the spa. With natural and organic products, and individualised treatments, you'll be feeling the effects long after your treatment has finished. The adults-only infinity pool is another highlight, with ocean views and a poolside bar, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet with a cocktail in hand. There's two other pools though, with a shallow one that's particularly suitable for the little ones, whilst Seedlings Kids club is a fun, educational space where the little ones can enjoy a host of activities inspiring imagination and discovery. And we haven't even touched on the food. There's a wide range of bars and reataurants that focus on locally sourced food - we're pretty sure you'll never go hungry here. All in all, this hotel is perfect for active families, solo travellers, and newlyweds alike.

“Terrible service and cockroaches”
Jul 04, 2026Nicole S
TLDR: terrible service and cockroaches in the room. My husband and I have been staying at the hotel the past few nights for 4th of July and are surprised by the terrible service. We originally were going to rent a car for the duration of our stay but since the hotel offers car drop offs and a 2 hour car rental (audi experience) we figured we could get by without a car as we only wanted to go into the town of Hanalei which is right across the waterway (1-2 miles as the crow flies). However, the entire fleet of rentable cars are down for service for multiple weeks and the house cars refuse to take you into town as it is outside of their zone. Despite saying the rentable cars are available through instant messaging, the service staff treated us rudely and informed us that they were not and refused to offer any way to get us to town. For $2k a night, we expect better service and will be taking our money elsewhere on subsequent stays. Also, we found 2 cockroaches in our room.
“Neck tension no more”

Rose was amazing! She helped me figure out why I have so much tension in my neck and worked it out for me. She also gave me exercises and ways I can’t help with it.
“Amazing stay in Hanalei- Highly reccomend”
Jul 03, 2026michaelsimmrin
We are just finishing up an incredible stay at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay from June 27 through July 3, and it exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional. The valet team was consistently attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient, making every arrival and departure effortless.
A very special thank you goes to Vincent and the concierge team, who was absolutely outstanding. Vincent and the entire concierge staff provided some of the best service we’ve experienced at a luxury hotel. Whether it was securing hard-to-get restaurant reservations, arranging activities, or offering thoughtful local recommendations, everything was handled seamlessly. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our vacation effortless and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy Kauai.
Our room was absolutely gorgeous—beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and perfectly captured the relaxed luxury that makes this property so special. Waking up each morning to the breathtaking views and the beauty of Hanalei Bay was unforgettable.
The property itself is simply spectacular. Every aspect of the resort is thoughtfully designed, from the lush tropical landscaping to the stunning pools and public spaces. It’s the perfect combination of world-class luxury and the natural beauty of Kauai.
What truly distinguishes 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, however, is its people. Every team member we encountered genuinely cared about making our stay exceptional, and it showed in every interaction.
Thank you again to Vincent, his outstanding concierge team, the wonderful valet staff, and everyone else who made our stay so memorable. We left already looking forward to our next visit.
