About this property
Modern Oceanfront Resort Living. Luxury Oceanfront Bedroom Suites. Sleeps 10!
Welcome to Hale Pali Kai, a luxury oceanfront retreat perched high above Kalapaki Bay. Meaning “High Cliff House” in Hawaiian, this home offers sweeping views, elevated comfort, and an unmatched location between two of Kauai’s premier resorts. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel suspended above the turquoise water, watching sea turtles glide below and sunsets paint the sky from one of three private lanais.
The home faces directly west, giving you dramatic mountain‑to‑ocean sunset views. With soaring 16‑foot ceilings and expansive sliding glass doors, the living space blends seamlessly with the outdoors, filling the home with natural light, ocean breezes, and the soothing sound of the surf.
Hale Pali Kai sits between the Timbers Kauai Resort and the Royal Sonesta Resort, placing you steps from dining, spas, and resort amenities. Through ResortPass.com, guests can access pools, cabanas, and daybeds for a full five‑star experience while still enjoying the privacy of a standalone home.
Designed for comfort and inspired by the island’s natural beauty, the home spans 3.5 levels and features brand‑new, super‑comfortable furnishings throughout. Two oceanfront master suites each include a private lanai and spa‑style bathroom overlooking the bay. A third bedroom offers two queen beds and central A/C. The open‑concept living and dining area showcases panoramic ocean views and now includes a new dining table that seats 10, perfect for gatherings. The kitchen is equipped with padded barstools for relaxed seating, and the lanai features a new outdoor dining set ideal for enjoying meals with the ocean breeze. The home’s elevated position keeps the environment naturally cool and mostly bug‑free. All main living areas and the upper queen bedroom have central air‑conditioning, while the two master suites each feature their own independently controlled split A/C units for personalized comfort.
From your doorstep, within just a couple of minutes, you can walk to Kalapaki Beach for swimming, surfing, or paddleboarding. Golfers will appreciate the nearby Hokuala Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, where guests receive Kamaʻāina discounts for staying at 'Hale Pali Kai'. Tennis, hiking, boutique shopping, and local dining are all within minutes. Best of all, Lihue Airport is just a 7‑minute drive, so your vacation begins almost immediately after landing.
Kalapaki Beach, featured in 'Only in Hawaii', is known as one of Kauai’s most beautiful beaches. Its calm waters, golden sand, and palm‑lined shoreline make it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, surfing, SUP or watching outrigger canoes glide across the bay. Despite its central location, it remains peaceful and uncrowded—a true hidden gem.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family vacation, or a golf getaway, Hale Pali Kai offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and island charm. Enjoy the comforts of home with the perks of a resort, all set against one of the most breathtaking backdrops in Hawaii.

Awesome property, convenient location to stores. Walking distance to beach. Host very responsive. Would stay here again. My family and I enjoyed our stay. Amazing views.
The views are incredible, and the elevator down to the Royal Sonesta made beach and pool amenities very easy to access! The ResortPass access was easy to do, but a little spendy, I wish there was a credit included with the listing. Such a beautiful property, I definitely recommend it!
Memorable Thanksgiving holiday with family. Clean, well stocked (beach chairs, coolers, snorkels, umbrella, and more), with unforgettable views from all 3 levels.
Gonna be hard vacation to top.
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beautiful property! The location was perfect! The views were amazing!! The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable. The beds were super comfy! The only issue we had was upon arrival we were notified that the air conditioning was broken in the main part of the house but they had already set up 2 portable units to keep things cool so it wasn’t bad at all. We would definitely stay here again!
We love staying at this location - I have rented this spot three times. The location of the property cannot be beat - it is central to everything one may want to do on Kauai, but also has plenty of local/walkable amenities. The living space is a great place to spend time with family with a large amount of space, wide open windows and views. Louise and Kendra are responsive to any issues that may arise.
This house was great for our extended family coming together. The rooms were spacious and the views were unmatched. It was a quick walk to the beach, golfing and other lovely views. We would definitely stay here again as Louise and Kendra, the property owner and manager were incredibly helpful attentive and made our stay better. We hope to come back again!
The setting on the bay is perfect. Easy access to restaurants. You basically feel like part of the resort but you’re not. Beautiful way to wake up and go to sleep each night, listening to the waves of the ocean
This house is incredible. Perfect for our family of six. Has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Sand toys/flippers/wagon to carry your beach chairs. Even a cooler. The location is perfect, so much so we wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we came back.
The house was amazing. Great view, clean, plenty of parking, and most importantly, comfortable mattress. The house manager responded quickly and very helpful. Will definitely stay again.
The property was amazing! Very spacious for a family of 7, great views, walking distance to the beach, modern and clean. The beach was kid friendly as it was protected by a barrier. The house had water shoes, snorkel, boogie boards, etc. The location was absolutely perfect. Did I mention the views? Would absolutely stay there again. Thank you!
We stayed here for a week with my brothers and their families. The view was amazing, the beach access was great, the kitchen was well appointed, plenty of beach toys in the garage, good A/C, lots of space, a bathroom for every bedroom ... we don't have a single complaint, this place was amazing!!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The property pictures look beautiful, but they don't even do the house justice. The views are amazing. The house had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed walking down to the beach every day and explored activities on the island with our rental car. We would definitely stay at this property again!
This beautiful condo is perfectly located with access to a pretty beach, a golf course, great food and long walking paths. We loved every minute of our stay. The location is great for exploring the whole island. The condo itself is modern, spacious and has every amenity you need. Huge bathrooms, bedrooms and tall ceilings with a lovely view of the beach, an active harbor and nearby mountains. We enjoyed our too brief family vacation and would love to return!
This property was absolutely wonderful! The views were stunning and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It was lovely being able to walk down to the beach and the access to all their beach toys was lovely. I do wish there was a remote for the garage to be able to pull in & out of with ease instead of having to jump out of the car to run and open/close the garage. And oddly enough non of the slider doors seemed to lock but we felt safe enough that we didn’t let it bother us too much. Overall, I would 100% stay here again! It was absolutely amazing!
There are only a few homes from which you can enjoy an expansive view of Nawiliwili bay and beach. And so close to walk to everything as if you were at the resorts. The home is amazing on its own too. Luxurious and comfortable. Spacious for 3 generations to spread around.
This was our second stay at this property. Louise and Kendra are super helpful. The property is super clean, modern and any issues that popped up were addressed promptly. The location is perfect, close to the airport, walking distance to beach and restaurants, short drive to costco and safeway, and equidistant driving to either side of the island for any activities you may want to do for your visit.
