  • Kings' Shops:

    An easy walk from the Outrigger Fairway Villas are Kings' Shops - the largest mall on the Kohala Coast, with 75,000 sq ft of shopping, dining, and entertainment. They have art and furnishings, specialty gifts, DFS duty free shops, and an array of restaurants.

    Dolphin Galleries offer fine art, bronze and glassware; you can get shell souvenirs, from jewelry to wind chimes, at Island Shells, a beautiful locally made ukulele at the Ukulele House (they have over 150 different ukuleles on display, including some unique vinatage instruments).

    If you are interested in fine jewelry, take a look at Kings’ jewelry stores like Haimoff & Haimoff (unusual designs with flair and individuality are their specialty), Maui Divers (corals, South Seas pearls, Tahitian black pearls, opals, diamonds), or Royal Gold (elegant Hawaiian heirloom jewelry in gold, exotic Tahitian black pearls and exquisite crystal).

The par-70 Beach Course features numerous sand bunkers, water features and the most spectacular oceanfront par-5 in Hawaii on the 502-yard, 12th hole. From this hole, you can see awesome vistas of neighboring islands, and in winter, whales breaching offshore.

    Kings' Course - This 7,064-yard, 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by former British Open champion, Tom Weiskopf, and Jay Morrish. It has a Scottish links-style layout with pot bunkers, undulating fairways, multiple tee placements and lava outcroppings. Golf Digest rated it one of the top two new resorts in America.

Kiahuna Plantation

1. Location

Kiahuna Plantation condos are managed by two different companies (Castle and Outrigger), so it is known both as Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation, and Castle Kiahuna Plantation and Beach Bungalows.

Kiahuna Plantation occupies a lovely beachfront in Poipu on the sunniest side of the island. It is located on 35 acres of tropically landscaped grounds. The atmosphere is relaxed and carefree.

Quaint, low-rise wooden buildings at Outrigger and Castle Kiahuna Plantation look like a 19th century Hawaiian plantation. They are surrounded by lagoons, tall swaying coconut palms, large shady monkey pod trees, and fragrant blossoming plumeria.

Across the street is the Poipu Shopping Village, a lovely open-air island-style mall with shops and restaurants nestled in the middle of the gardens. It is a very safe area, so if you are traveling with teens, they can go to the shopping center on their own.

Historic Koloa Town is a few minutes drive away. It is a very charming place where you can see ruins of Kauai's first sugar plantation and some of the oldest buildings in Hawaii. Each building has its own story, for example, one of them was Kauai's first hotel where traveling salesmen stayed over 100 years ago.

The town has a few local shops, grocery store where you can get fresh island fruit, vegetables and meat, and some restaurants.


2. Rooms

Outrigger and Castle Kiahuna Plantation offer 333 condos in forty two 2- and 3-story buildings (no elevators). This is a large resort, so the buildings are spread out, and some garden view condos are set almost 1/4 of a mile back from the ocean. If you want to be close to the beach, book a partial ocean or ocean view condo.

Another reason to book an ocean view condo (rates), believe it or not, is the roosters. As you may have heard, Kauai is full of free-roaming roosters, and you will see some around Kiahuna Plantation. They normally hang out close to Poipu Road, in the area where garden view condos are located. It is not a huge problem, but if you are a light sleeper and don't want to be waken up very early in the morning, we recommend that you book at least a partial ocean or ocean view condo.

Castle and Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation gives you a lot of privacy and space. All 1- and 2-bedroom condos are individually decorated and vary in style, but all are nice, clean, and get lots of ocean breezes that keep the air cool.

    Each condo features:
  • Ceiling fans, no a/c
  • Private lanai
  • Full kitchen (stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, pots and pans, utensils)
  • Color cable TV and VCR
  • Tub/shower or shower only
  • Hair dryer
  • Iron and board
  • Non-smoking ro
  • Daily maid service
  • oms available

Aina Nalu Resort

1. Location

Aina Nalu Resort is about 3 blocks away from the ocean, on a quiet side street (a rarity in Lahaina). You will be able to walk through Lahaina every night without have to drive everywhere. If you want to shop for souvenirs, browse art galleries, and dine at charming waterfront restaurants, Front Street has many different places for you to see.

You can also walk to the historic Lahaina Harbor that used to be the busiest whaling port of the Pacific in the early 1800s, and is now a beautiful restored waterfront spot where you can walk around and watch the ocean.

Aina Nalu's only drawback is the fact that you are not on the beach. Lahaina doesn't have any good swimming beaches, so you'll have to take a short drive to Kaanapali for swimming and snorkeling in the ocean.

Lush landscaping at Aina Nalu Resort (former Ohana Maui Islander) creates relaxing, close-to-home atmosphere. Wooden buildings are barely visible through the densely planted coconut palms, royal poinciana and rainbow shower trees. Papaya and banana trees make the grounds look like a fruit garden. Red, white and yellow ginger plants, hibiscus and birds of paradise add glorious sprays of color. Take a brief walk around, and you can feel your "mainland" worries melting away.


2. Condos

Outrigger Aina Nalu Resort offers studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom condos, all with garden views. Units are located in twelve 2-story wooden buildings. You will be pleasantly impressed with the interiors - every room has been thoroughly renovated in 2005. You just can't beat the prices on - these are some of the best buys in Lahaina and Kaanapali!

Condos are airy and light, decorated in russet, bronze, natural stone and rattan.

Studios include kitchenette with built-in microwave and under-counter refrigerator. One- and two-bedroom units feature complete kitchen with dishwasher, built-in microwave, refrigerator, and ceramic cook top and oven. Everything you need for cooking is provided, including shiny and new dishes and silverware.

As part of the renovation, Aina Nalu Resort recently installed 26" Dell flat-screen TV in the bedrooms, and another 20" TV in the living rooms.

Immaculate-looking bathrooms have natural stone floors and brand-new large stone showers (no bathtubs). Shower is open: it is deep enough and covered in slate tile, so you don't need a door or curtain. Medicine cabinet, many drawers, and Aveda toiletries make the bathrooms not just nice-looking but also very convenient.

This is a pretty quite place. The only noise that you will hear is the wonderful sounds of bird songs at dawn. Aina Nalu Resort (former Ohana Maui Islander) gives you the "Old Lahaina" charm that other hotels just don't have.

  • Two-story buildings with stairs (no elevators)

3. Restaurants

Outrigger Aina Nalu Resort does not have an on-site restaurants, but there are quite a few restaurants and cafes located within a short walk from the hotel. Here are our 2 favorite places:

1) Blue Lagoon Tropical Bar & Grill – 0.1 miles away, at 658 Front Street

Looking for a remote idyllic hideaway to grab a bite to eat? Then head to “Blue Lagoon Tropical Bar & Grill” nestled right across from the famous Banyan Tree. it is surrounded by waterfalls, palm streets and babbling brooks, and feels like a nice retreat from the busy Front Street.

Menu includes tasty appetizers like Ale Battered Mushrooms and panko-crusted Calamari Strips that are perfect with Blue Lagoon's creative tropical drinks like "Red Death" or "Sex in a Palm Tree". One of the best entrees is "Ono-Ono" grilled, topped with mango salsa and set atop a bed of white rice with mango sauce and sir-fry vegetables. Prices are very reasonable, so you can take the whole family there and not break your pocketbook.

2) Cheeseburger in Paradise – 0.4 miles away, at 811 Front Street

This place is always hopping! A terrific atmosphere and affordable prices grant it instant popularity, and the burgers are out of this world. Choose a juicy loaded beef burger and add yummy gigantic fries and a tropical drink, or opt for the veggie and chicken selections.

The location is unbeatable, next to the seawall on Front Street in Lahaina. You will have an absolutely spectacular oceanfront view from your table.

Live band comes on stage around 4:30pm, and they play a variety of rock music, classic tunes, and current hits, to make sure everybody is having a good time.

Napili Kai Beach Resort

Location

The first thing that you should know about Napili Kai Beach Resort - the beach here is one of the best on the West Side for swimming and snorkeling. Many units have a view of the Pacific, with neighbor islands Molokai and Lanai in the distance.

The one- and two-story buildings with double-hipped Hawaii-style roofs are spread over 10 very lush beachfront acres, so you'll never feel overcrowded. Napili Kai Beach Resort is a traditional resort, so expect flaming tiki lamps and palm trees, along with the relaxed feel of old Hawaii.

You will be 5 miles away from Kaanapali and 9 miles from Lahaina. Maui's main airport, Kahului (OGG), is 36 miles away, and Kapalua Airport (JHM), which offers limited flight schedule to and from Honolulu, is 3 miles away.


2. Rooms

Hawaiian-style rooms are done in sea-foam green, mauve, and rattan; shoji doors open onto your lanai, with the beach and ocean right outside. The rooms closest to the beach have no air-conditioning, but ceiling fans usually suffice as the front doors are all vented to allow for the cool tradewinds to flow into your room.

Napili Kai Beach Resort is very quiet and noise-free, the only sounds you will hear are the waves and the birds. Keep the lanai doors open all the time, so the waves can lull you to sleep, and the sunshine bird songs can wake up up.
