Let Nature Nourish Your Senses
Our sanctuary flourishes with an extraordinary abundance of native plants—the majority of which are endemic, indigenous, or part of the Polynesian canoe crops first brought to Hawaiʻi over a thousand years ago. Once sustaining the islands’ earliest settlers, these plants now purify the air, carry deep cultural meaning, and uplift the spirit. Our footprint is designed to bring nature in—welcoming not only plants but also natural light and ocean breezes—to amplify the restorative effects of biophilic design and seamlessly blur the lines between indoors and out.
Hydrate With Purpose
On the Garden Isle, water is more than a resource, it’s a source of renewal. Our 7,400-gallon rainwater harvesting system helps irrigate the landscape while conserving over 3.5 million gallons of water annually. Inside, guests can hydrate freely at filtered water stations and shower in peace, knowing our efficient plumbing and low-flow fixtures support island-wide sustainability. It’s one more way we make every drop count.
Reimagined with Respect
The transformation of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay was rooted in reverence for the land. Built around a protected natural wonder, the project prioritized preservation over reinvention, restoring 96,000 square feet of habitat using native and adapted vegetation. Today, guests can look up into flourishing canopies of kukui and other native trees, which not only honor the island’s ecology but also provide essential shelter for birds and pollinators.
The Wisdom of Water
Rainwater is one of Kauaʻi’s most abundant natural gifts, and we use it wisely. Our 7,400-gallon harvesting system is part of a closed-loop irrigation approach that reduces outdoor water consumption by 97%, nourishing our native plant landscaping while supporting biodiversity. Here, sustainability flows naturally from the land itself.
Dining with purpose
At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, sustainability is always on the menu. We work closely with local fishers, farmers, and growers, and our restaurants embrace ocean-to-table practices that help protect the long-term health of our seas. Every venue is certified Ocean Friendly by the Surfrider Foundation. That means no single-use plastics, minimal waste, and mindful sourcing from reef to plate. It’s good for you, for the local community, and for the planet.
Good Energy Is Clean Energy
Our LEED-certified island oasis is thoughtfully optimized for energy efficiency, with green systems woven throughout the design. From LED lighting and enhanced insulation to HVAC systems with energy recovery and advanced monitoring tools, we’ve implemented smart strategies to reduce annual energy costs by approximately 20%, all while minimizing our impact on the planet.
Explore Mindfully
Discover the island in harmony with nature. Cruise emission-free in our fleet of fully electric Audi e-trons, hop on a beach cruiser, or simply stroll the golden sands at your own pace. However you roam, we make it easy to tread lightly.
Rest Well, Live Well

Offers & Experiences
Kauaʻi, the oldest island in Hawaiʻi, is a living canvas shaped by volcanoes and time. Its emerald valleys, misty rainforests, and plunging waterfalls unfold into sacred coastlines and the state’s longest stretches of white sand beach. You’ll find wonders like Waimea Canyon (a geological wonder nicknamed “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific”) and the legendary 17-mile Nāpali Coast, where jagged cliffs meet the sea in a breathtaking expression of the island’s untamed beauty. It’s here, on the North Shore, that 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay offers a front-row seat to it all.
With over 400 inches of annual rainfall, Kauaʻi is known as the wettest spot on earth. There are two main seasons (wet and dry), but passing showers are common throughout the year. At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we celebrate nature’s everyday wonders, from the nourishing rains to the rainbows they leave behind. Thanks to the tropical climate, temperatures are warm year-round, averaging between 69°F and 85°F.
Kauaʻi is known as the Garden Island for good reason. Here, native and canoe plants thrive in abundance, including kukui (known as the tree of light), ‘ulu (breadfruit) that fed generations, ferns that carpet the forest floor, and ʻōhiʻa blossoms that symbolize strength and renewal. But these plants are more than beautiful. For generations, they have been used in ceremonies, cuisine, and healing, reminding us that nature is not just a backdrop, but a source of nourishment, connection, and care. At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we embrace this legacy of healing, inviting you to reconnect with nature’s gifts.
Kauaʻi is home to an astonishing range of wildlife, some of it found nowhere else on earth. More than 80 species of tropical birds thrive here, including 21 species native to the islands. In the surrounding waters, spinner dolphins leap through the waves and humpback whales migrate along the coast in winter. You can sometimes spot the sacred Hawaiian green sea turtle (honu) and the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle (honu ʻea). At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we honor these creatures as fellow inhabitants of a shared ecosystem.
Kauaʻi is a protected natural wonder, an island where adventure and awe unfold at every turn. Feel the rhythm of Hanalei Bay as you surf or paddleboard its turquoise waters. Snorkel alongside sea turtles and reef fish at ʻAnini Beach and Keʻe Beach. Marvel at Wailua Falls, where mist rises from twin waterfalls tumbling down volcanic cliffs. Along the legendary Nāpali Coast, hike through tropical forests and towering valleys where the raw beauty of Kauaʻi is on full display. And at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we put you right in the heart of this wild beauty.
On Kauaʻi, sustainability is a way of life. Native Hawaiians have long practiced mālama ʻāina, a deep reverence for the land, living in harmony with nature by cultivating local crops and fishing the surrounding seas with care and intention. Today, there’s a renewed urgency to protect what makes this island so special. Local communities are leading the way, supporting regenerative farming, sustainable fishing, and cultural practices that honor the island’s ancestral values. At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we share this commitment. From sourcing locally to restoring native landscapes, we’re guided by the belief that hospitality can be a force for good, nurturing both people and planet.
