Rainbows crown this crescent bay like natural leis, giving this tiny North Shore haven its fitting name. Kayak through Hanalei Bay where sea turtles glide beneath your paddle and spinner dolphins might make surprise appearances. The legendary Kalalau Trail begins nearby, offering hikers jaw-dropping views of the Na Pali Coast's emerald valleys and waterfalls. Surf the gentle waves at Hanalei Beach or venture to Makua Beach for more seclusion. The historic pier stretches into waters so photogenic it starred in countless films. After beach adventures, the tiny town offers shave ice and local grinds in weathered buildings that have survived a century of island storms. Come prepared for rain – it's what keeps everything impossibly green.

Kauai Inn

Kauai Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This was a last minute booking literally! When we arrived we were greeted by Chris & Philip who were both kind & funny. Chris & his very silly jokes made us giggle and we actually went back for another joke upon checking out. And I even got a beautiful bottle of wine when we arrived! Thank you Philip. Superb BTW! This property is older & historic. John Wayne shot a movie & stayed there. Who knew!!!! Rooms were small charming & quaint. Bed very comfortable! Great shower pressure too! Lovely Hawaiian music playing in the courtyard and bummed we had no time for the pool. And there were a few adorable cats, the roosters of course and a beautiful peacock greeted us am. I’d def stay here again 💕. Dana"

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We returned to the Kauai palms for a second stay during our Kauai visit due to cancellation from storm damage at another property we had planned. The Kauai palms staff had already returned this property to a condition where you couldn’t tell a hurricane had just taken place. On top of that, one of the staff members (Leidel) who had helped us earlier in the week recognized us by name and welcomed us back to the property. That’s a rare thing in today’s busy large corporate business environment. The smaller, more personal vibe we got from this property and staff will definitely bring us back during our next visit to Kauai."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Hanalei

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Hanalei on a budget is particularly appealing between September and November, when hotel prices may drop to lower prices. For an enriching experience that encompasses its key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions — including its beach, sea, romantic settings, secluded spots, surfing opportunities, relaxing environments, cosy cafes, islands, sunrise views, and mountainous backdrops — an itinerary of at least 4 to 5 days is ideal. This period offers affordable stays and great value for money, making it a superb choice for those seeking a budget-friendly getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To find attractive hotel deals in Hanalei, you may explore the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com and check the Last-Minute Deals area for discounted rates near your travel dates. Additionally, you could enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions. Using the Smart Shopping tool via the app, travellers are more likely to compare hotel prices and amenities, keeping you updated on price drops or newly available rooms.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your Hanalei hotel stay. For those interested in unique accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you find a more attractive deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Hanalei's superb public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel located further out that remains well-connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less busy neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
