The Sandbox

A poolside, ocean-facing retreat with sweeping views of Hanalei Bay and a menu of locally sourced, classic Hawaiian beach fare. A perfect gathering spot for families to gather, lounge, share a meal and take a dip in the pool.
Featuring the perfect poolside bites like poke bowls, fish tacos, burgers on locally baked bread, a wood-burning pizza oven, and keiki menu (for your minis). Beverages are designed for poolside lounging, with craft cocktails made from 50+ agave spirits, frozen drinks, locally sourced beer, cider, kombuchas, and low-ABV seltzer.
Summer Extended Hours
Join us in the evenings for dinner and live music at The Sandbox. Enjoy casual dining at our outdoor, poolside restaurant overlooking Hanalei Bay — to the sounds of live music by local artists.
Saturday - Monday | 5:30pm-8pm
