Puu Poa 105

When staying at Puu Poa (Pu`u Po`a) you will discover the rare beauty and peaceful sanctuary of the North Shore on the Garden Island of Kauai. Puu Poa in Princeville, on a cliff overlooking an incredible vista of the Pacific Ocean, is where you can watch turtles and other sea life right from your lanai. Beautiful Hawaiian landscaping to complement its unparalleled views surrounds this contemporary condominium community. You will thoroughly enjoy watching dolphins, sailboats, cruise ships and surfers from the comfort of your vacation home. During the winter months some of the best whale watching is done from the Princeville and Kilauea areas. Viewing the majestic 4,000 foot-high Waialale Mountains with rainbows and waterfalls is magical on the mauka (mountain) side of the property.

Puu Poa is one of Princeville's most luxurious condo resorts in terms of unique architecture, spacious floor plans and an ideal location with maximum comfort and privacy. These 56 condos are situated on the ocean bluff next door to the beautiful five-star St. Regis Hotel that offers several outstanding dining options at one of their restaurants or visit their world-class spa.

Puu Poa has its own tennis courts, oceanfront swimming pool and hot tub, and spectacular Hideaway's Beach is a short trail walk below, hidden away. Hideaway's is one of Kauai's best summertime snorkeling spots.

Princeville is home to 45 holes of world-class golfing within minutes of Puu Poa and has miles of walking and biking paths. There is also easy access to Puu Poa Beach on Hanalei Bay, in front of the St. Regis Hotel. Horseback riding, zip lining and guided hikes are available at nearby Princeville Ranch and polo matches are held, in season, at Anini Beach.

Hike the world famous Na Pali Coast as well as many other fantastic trails on Kauai. Take a kayak out of Hanalei Bay to paddle with the dolphins and turtles or paddle board or kayak on the Hanalei River. Enjoy some of the very best snorkeling on the island at Ke`e Beach. Explore the dry and wet caves, Hanalei Beach Park, Limahuli Botanical Garden and the excellent snorkeling and swimming at Tunnels Beach. Spend the day at Hanalei Bay, a perfect spot for swimming, lying out on the beach, having a picnic and fishing off the pier! Enjoy the stunning views at Kilauea Lighthouse and Nature Preserve, a beacon for sea traffic since 1913. It's within a national wildlife refuge, where thousands of seabirds soar on the tradewinds and nest on the steep ocean cliffs. Seeing endangered Nene geese, white- and red-tailed tropicbirds, and more.

Narrow Limahuli Valley, with its fluted mountain peaks and ancient stone taro terraces, creates an unparalleled setting for this botanical garden and nature preserve. Dedicated to protecting native plants and unusual varieties of taro, it represents the principles of conservation and stewardship held by its founder, Charles "Chipper" Wichman. Limahuli's primordial beauty and strong mana (spiritual power) eclipse the extensive botanical collection. It's one of the most gorgeous spots on Kauai and the crown jewel of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, which Wichman now heads.
