The Hanalei Bay Resort is known for its proximity to Bali Hai, and has a restaurant of that same name. We have available 75 of the 134 total units, and there are great activities nearby. There are 45 holes of golf close by, on premise tennis, and water sports of every variety. Of special note is the snorkeling, which is rated as excellent right off the beach.

The Hanalei Bay Resort offers what many accommodations charge a premium for... space. Having started its life as a condominium, the Hanalei Bay Resort was designed with living in mind.

You will feel right at home because the Hanalei Bay Resort at one time was a home. The rooms are clean, and come nicely decorated.

The units started as either one bedroom units with a kitchenette (570 square feet) or as one bedroom units with a full kitchen (1091 square feet). Doors between units or even removed walls have created two and three bedroom suites. Square footage of these units will vary with the design.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, and some units have over-under washers and dryers. In addition to having your own kitchen, the Hanalei Bay Resort offers exclusive complimentary daily made-to-order breakfast and complimentary afternoon cocktails.

There are two waterfalls on the grounds, and this adds the sound of falling water to your experience. You can hear them almost everywhere you are on the property.

There are also two swimming pools, one with a waterfall, one more traditional. There are eight tennis courts, and if you play too long, massages are available for 30, 60 or 90 minutes.

Hanalei Bay Resort is one of the best landscaped resorts of its kind. It sits on a hillside on 22 acres, and overlooks both its namesake, Hanalei Bay, and the mountain behind it, Bali Hai.

Bali Hai has been the site of numerous Hollywood movies, and the area is known as a vacation spot for Hawaiian royalty.

Hanalei Bay is known for its calm waters and good snorkeling.

The beach is accessible by a path, and is white sand with a reef offshore. If you do not feel like walking, there is a complimentary shuttle service.

Water equipment such as boogie boards and snorkeling equipment are available, so you do not have to lug those from home.

Golf at Hanalei Bay Resort is available at the nearby Makai and Prince courses, and tee times can be set with the concierge.

The Makai Golf Course has been on Golf Digest's list of the best Golf Courses in America for 17 years. There are three nine hole courses, the Lakes, the Ocean and the Woods.

The Prince Golf course was also designed by Robert Trent

Jones, Jr. who thought of this course as his master work. It is rated as the best golf course on Kauai, and was rated by Golf Digest as the 43rd best in the nation.

Your day on the links will be among the best you ever experience.
