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.

One of the most impressive properties we’ve stayed in. Clean, plenty of room for our 8 family members, great amenities, and the host and manager were very accommodating.
Beautiful home in a great location. Wonderful amenities, serene space and lanai. Fantastic recommendations provided. Top notch communication from booking to check out. Can’t say enough good things. Thank you for an amazing stay!
We enjoyed our stay - the views of the bay from each floor was lovely. The beds were comfortable, and all the expected amenities were there. We loved that you could walk a short distance to an elevator that took you down to the beach and the resort next door. The owner/property manager was very responsive and fixed issues proactively that their cleaners brought to their attention. We would highly recommend.
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!
This property is in a great location. The views are amazing, snd an easy walk to the beach. It is also very well stocked with everything you would need to cook, and beach items.
This place was amazing! We were convenient to every place we wanted to go on the island. We could easily get to Waimea and beat the crowds, to Sleeping Giant for a sunrise hike, and it was an easy drive to the north side to spend time at Anini Beach. The view is amazing, and we looked forward to coming back each evening to watch the sun set over the mountains.
We loved this condo....a private bedroom for each of us (3) great views off the balconies...sea turtles, surfers, the bay and beach, rainbows everyday before us, perfect location: could walk to a variety of restaurants, shopping, booked the Royal Sonesta Resort pool when needed, beach just a short walk away and plenty of chairs, etc for lugging to the beach....great stay for our 70th birthdays!
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.
The house fit our family of 9 beautifully-lots of space to spread out & be comfy! Our family typically prefers eating in & this kitchen was ideal for that. It was well stocked to accommodate lots of cooking-plus lots of extra garbage bags & dishwasher pods helped, too. Loved the fabulous view & watching the sea turtles right below - even saw some stingrays & spinner dolphins! Both the host & manager were wonderful to respond quickly or answer any of our questions.
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 loved our family time in this beautiful home. It was the perfect location for the family wedding at Timbers next door. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Louise Robertson
I live in central California, but I have vacationed in Kauai for many years and I am very familiar with the island. I am new to hosting on VRBO, but I'm not new to hosting. I have privately rented my home in Santa Barbara & my home in Las Vegas is the past. We are a small family of 3, who love nothing more than enjoying the warm oceans around Kauai. We want to share this wonderful experience with everyone. The islands Aloha spirit is truly unique and has left a big impression in our lives. Please contact me any time with questions regarding both the home or Kauai. louise@rw-west.com
Why they chose this property
The most amazing views you'll find on Kauai, coupled with the resort surroundings of the Timbers, and Royal Sonesta resorts. Our beach is fantastic, and the location is centrally located on the island. Perfect spot to spend a day on the south/west coasts for a trip to Waimea Canyon, and catamaran trips. Another day a trip to the north shore. Close location to the airport, and walking distance to many fantastic restaurants. Top it off with the world class Jack Nicklaus designed ocean golf course across the street!
What makes this property unique
The location can't be beat. We are centrally located on the island so you can enjoy both the South & the North side of the island easily without missing out on one or the other. Costco, Target and all the main shopping and facilities are in Lihue so you don't need a car! The beach has everything! Great for surfing, SUP, boogie boarding–the lot! 3 levels of oceanfront living in a new, modern, clean designed home. There's central AC for the main living areas and split AC for the two ocean front suites. You can have it all!
