Journey to Zero-Waste
Our sustainable and zero-waste cocktail program and dinner series highlight creative solutions, while our brilliant 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay team employs innovative techniques to divert food waste. From using spent citrus peels and coffee grounds to infuse liquors, to batching cocktails and cooling them in the fridge to prevent water waste — our diversion methods are not only sustainable, but savory.

Yes, a permit is required to hold a wedding on Kauaʻi's beaches. This ensures your celebration respects the island’s natural environment. Our team at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay is here to craft an unforgettable beachfront ceremony, right on the sand or within our lush garden spaces, all with the ocean as your backdrop.
Kauaʻi is enchanting year-round, but the drier months from April to October are often preferred for weddings. The island’s warm, sunny weather creates an ideal setting for a beachfront ceremony or a reception on our open-air terrace overlooking Hanalei Bay, where the sunsets are unforgettable.
Kauaʻi offers a variety of magical wedding locations, from secluded beaches to lush gardens. At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, couples can exchange vows in several of our stunning venues—whether it’s a ceremony on the beach, a reception in the tropical garden, or a celebration on our ocean-view terrace. Each spot offers a unique way to embrace the island’s natural beauty.
