Kauai Luxury Vacation Villa in Princeville at Hanalei Bay
From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the otherworldliness of Kauai's North Shore; Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful. The unique charm, ideal location, dramatic beauty, and peaceful serenity provide an island experience to be treasured.
Hanalei Bay Villas #29, a private free standing home, is ideally situated above a tree top canopy revealing expansive views of the awe-inspiring North Shore Mountains adorned with waterfalls and often rainbows. The home also opens onto an ocean bluff, within sight and smell of the sea.
Just beyond the front door is a grassy overlook considered the best location on the island to view the Bali Hi sunset; provides an ideal vantage point to witness humpback whales breaching and world class surfers in the breaks just off the coastline. Of course, the sparkling Pacific colors are always spectacular and, at times, you are likely to see dolphins, sea turtles, and an occasional monk seal.
There are three beautiful public beaches within close walking distance. A hiking trail leads to Pali Ke Kua Beach which is a long, beautiful stretch of beach divided by a rock outcropping. During calm seas you can swim around the outcropping to what is known as Hideaways (seen on the aerial photo directly below the villa); a great snorkeling cove. Puu Poa Beach on Hanalei Bay, a picturesque white sand beach located in front of the St Regis Hotel, can be accessed by a 191 step staircase or via resort elevator. During low tide you can wade across the Hanalie River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion. Here you can rent kayaks, boogie boards, surf boards, and standup paddle boards.
Within the Princeville community you will also find a jogging path, Queen's Bath trailhead, Sea Lodge Beach, The Prince and Makai golf courses, healthy club and spa, tennis and basketball courts, restaurants, library, playground, shave ice and ice cream stand, boutiques, post office, and grocery store.
Truly, all the wonders of the North Shore are within two-twelve scenic miles of the villa; including many more fabulous beaches, Kalalau Trailhead, the quaint town of Hanalei, Tunnels, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Garden, 'Anini Beach Park, Secret Beach, Kilauea Lighthouse...
This completely remodeled home includes state of the art kitchen, contemporary baths, new flooring, tasteful high-end furnishings, and luxurious bedding. It is sophisticated, comfortable, and laid-back. Numerous windows, cooling trade winds, ceiling fans, and cathedral ceilings keep the home light, fresh, and comfortable throughout the day.

HIKI NŌ Episode #1010 – A Spark from Within and other stories | Program
TOP STORY
“A Spark from Within”
Students from Maui High School in Kahului introduce us to Maui High robotics captain John Fabella. John’s mother passed away when he was just seven years of age, and his father was deported. Growing up without his biological parents, John found an extended family in his Maui Waena Intermediate School robotics team and later, in the Maui High School team. Says John, “I made family through robotics. I made that family. It’s not the family that was given to me. My friends now, my brothers, you know, my sisters now. They help me every single day and they push me further.”
