Where Nature is your home
Geography

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.

Climate

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.

Flora

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.

Wildlife

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. 
 

Natural Attractions

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.

Sustainability

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.
