Nutrition is a key element of Wellness at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, with seven food and beverage outlets, offering fresh, local, and sustainability sourced farm-to-table ingredients.
All of our dining venues are designated Ocean Friendly Restaurants by Surfrider Kauaʻi, an organization dedicated to ocean and marine life conservation.

Our signature restaurant, founded on plant-forward, hyper-local and sustainably sourced cuisine from the island and its surrounding waters. Led by nature, 1 Kitchen’s menu is highly seasonal, featuring the best ingredients from Kauaʻi’s farmers, ranchers, fishers, and growers.

Every detail ignites your senses and extends an invitation to unwind, reminisce, and savor the present moment.
