Property Amenities
The smoke-free Kiahuna Plantation offers guests an opportunity to experience, in contemporary comfort, the 19th-century Hawaiian era of sugar plantations and prim missionaries. Widely spaced on 33 acres of natural grounds and interspersed with gardens and lava-rock ponds, 42 white plantation-style buildings face Poipu Beach, once declared by the world's foremost expert as America's best. Access to upper floors is by outside stairs, not elevators. Wireless Internet access is available in public areas (surcharge).
Guests enjoy complimentary access to the Kiahuna Swim and Tennis Club, which is located on the north side of the hotel, just across Poipu Road. It features a lagoon-shaped pool with a shallow children’s area, a jetted spa, and a waterslide. Other features include 10 tennis courts, a tennis shop, restaurant, and activity hut with towels, sunscreen, and cameras (extra fee). Barbecue areas, including one on an oceanside sunning lawn and coconut grove, are scattered around the grounds.
The front desk can arrange golf outings, helicopter sightseeing trips, luaus, and all other activities available on Kauai; the desk can also rent out video tapes and arrange massage sessions. A beach hut rents out snorkel sets and boogie boards, and provides complimentary towels and beach chairs.

Restaurants & Bars
Plantation Gardens Restaurant - Hailed as one of Hawaii's best, this spacious restaurant occupies much of the Kiahuna Plantation's original manor house. The manor was a 1930 wedding gift to Alexandra "Sandie" Knudsen and Hector Moir from her father, who inherited Hawaii's first (1835) sugar plantation from his parents. Walls display photographs chronicling plantation history. Under ceiling fans, dining is inside or on a wraparound veranda overlooking gardens and ponds. Wood floors and big wicker chairs evoke an earlier era and slower-paced atmosphere. The shaded bar has its own veranda. Diners are attracted by inventive, contemporary Hawaiian fare featuring local fish and other items. |
