1 Hotel Hanalei Bay
Kauai, Hawaii
5 stars
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.

“One of the most beautiful places on earth”
Jul 26, 2026Passenger28980647407
The 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay is a beautiful hotel located in one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Its views of Hanalei Bay and the Na Pali coast are breathtaking, and you get to experience them in virtually every room and while dining at the resort’s two main dining areas. From our room, we watched surfers in Hanalei Bay, the light shifting over the Na Pali coast and whales breaching in the ocean below.
Breakfast was amazing (perhaps the best breakfast buffet we have ever had), as was the New Year’s buffet dinner and dining on creative sushi dishes and edamame at Welina Terrace while watching the sunset.
There were thoughtful touches in every room, including lovely room key bracelets to decrease waste at hotel, personal water filter stations in each room and little surprises each night (like local chocolates etc).
The facilities including the pool, spa and gym are top notch.
We stayed there in the winter which is theoretically the “off-season,” but it was wonderful, and we were so happy to have stayed there/in the north, where the landscapes are unparalleled.
The location and hotel are magical. We can’t wait to come back.
“Reconsider Booking Here….”
Jul 25, 2026Bo P
We splurged and decided to stay 9 days at The 1. 100% my decision to book and pay $25,000 for 9 days yes. But went you spend this type of money I think is reasonable to expect the best of the best in all categories when staying.
As we arrive we were greeted with a Traditinal Hawaiian Kukui Nut Lei, nice touch, but the bellman was ripping open the made in china Amazon box as we stood there watching to try to pull 2 out to hand us….. Hotel is a vibe for sure, views are u real. But the service and any sense of feeling special or haven't an expierence outside of staying at any other nice hotel just didn’t happen. We booked a suite which was in a long dark hallway that shared the same path that all of the carts, employees, tools, etc shared. Constant noise and the hallway was filthy. Just not what you
Expect when staying in a suite. Service came to the room some days some days not, we had to ask the front desk to have the room made up.
As far as using their concierge service to book any activities, yes, they are glad to book them for you, but they only recommend their preferred vendors which is fine. I booked an $1700 helicopter ride. When the lady printed out the form for me to sign for the charge, there was a tip line insisting that we tipped 15 to 25% on the 1700. I told her I would be tipping the pilot in cash in person. Then she went to uncomfortably notify me that that tip is for her and was expecting us to tip around $200-400 Just for her booking our flight online, which took all the five minutes…. It’s that typical being stared at uncomfortable moment Of what to do which you should never experience that at a hotel like this…. I only tipped $25 because of this. After that happened, the reps demeanor completely changed. I even made a contact with her for the next four or five days after she booked it and not once did she say hello or even smile she even went out of her way to look down.
This would probably be a good hotel to stay At maybe three nights total just to experience the location and the hotel but I 100% will not recommend staying any longer than this to anyone.
“Incredible staff and service, unreal experience”
Jul 23, 2026Jacob P
This hotel is truly magnificent. First of all, the location of it, being a short 40 ish minute drive from the airport, puts you into a very quiet but lively portion of the island. Unlike many of the areas of the island that are tourist heavy areas, this hotel does not see the foot traffic like others do. And because of this, driving was necessary to get around just about anywhere, but the valet parking and team for managing our vehicle was EXCEPTIONAL. The resort itself is elegant, but so fun and lively. Every detail of this hotel is magnificent, down to the aroma that fills the air around the entire resort. The service was consistently fantastic and the food was so so good. We ate at each portion of the resort and I could not point to one aspect of it that was better than the rest. This trip was for my wife and I on our honeymoon and we felt very special with so many special recognition and gifts throughout the week. The pool was maintained and was always so perfect. If we come back to Kauai, there is no resort I would rather stay at. I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone.
