Kauai
Koa Kea Hotel & Resort
Poipu Beach, Koloa
Kauai, HI, 96756, United States
TEL: (888) 898-8958
With its arrival in 2009, the 121-room Koa Kea Resort made a splash on the area’s beloved Poipu Beach. The tranquil property offers a more intimate escape than nearby mega-resorts, and because it was constructed on the footprint of a 1960s hotel, it has a superior location that’s closer to the ocean than most other Hawaiian hotels. Arranged in a U-shape around the deep blue outdoor pool, the boutique property still has all the requisite modern-day luxuries: private lanais, dual showerheads in the marble-accented bathrooms, and a full-service fitness center and luxury spa. Don’t miss one of Kauai’s best photo ops: on many warm afternoons, endangered Hawaiian monk seals climb up on the sand to sunbathe.
Room to Book:
Garden rooms offer the most privacy (but no ocean view).
Insider Tip:
Book a surfing lesson with Chris Kauwe, the lead surf instructor at the hotel’s on-site water sports center. He’s known for his ability to get even first-time surfers to stand up on the board.
