natural amphitheater at the entrance to the tranquil waters of Kalapaki Beach. With a panorama

the best of the garden isle at your doorstepKaua‘i is the most inviting and accessible of all the islands – even short distances bring dramatic contrasts.
From Hōkūala, in the same few minutes it takes to reach Po‘ipu’s sunny beaches, you can be hiking through a flowering forest.
Whether above or below the surface, few places on earth are as spectacularly diverse as Kaua‘i.
Alongside your paddleboard is a rainbow of tropical fish; at the bow of your sailboat, a school
of dolphins play. Each winter, perhaps like you will, humpback whales return for their own
vacation in paradise. On Kaua‘i, every mountain and valley is alive with birdsong. Begging to
be explored is Waimea Canyon. Fourteen miles long, 3,600 feet deep, it is home to majestic
waterfalls, dazzling red rocks and lush green foliage. Let us take you there.
The iconic and untouched Nā Pali Coast – its 4,000-foot cliffs accessible only by helicopter, boat or adventurous hiker.
In all Hawaii there is no more spectacular meeting of mauka, the mountains and makai, the sea.
This is the rarest of the rare – a new oceanfront resort on Hawaii’s most alluring island. Shady bike
paths crisscross the resort and an ocean-side trail rings the property. Climb aboard a water gondola
for an excursion to shopping and dining or even for a few sets of tennis – it’s always smooth sailing on
Hōkūala’s inland waterway. If you must drive, may we suggest a golf cart, for Hōkūala is home to the
longest stretch of waterfront golf in the islands, the Ocean Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design.

At Hōkūala we gather in Hawaiian tradition. We light torches to say goodbye to the day and welcome the night.
We trumpet conch shells, the sound of the Pū carrying sacred messages across the ‘āina, our sacred lands. We sing,
talk story, celebrate as family, ‘ohana, connected to the world around us, and especially, to one another.
Connections, pili ‘ana, are the very essence of the Hawaiian culture – past to present, sea to
mountain, earth to sky. Nowhere does all this come together so naturally as on Kaua‘i. This is a
tropical world of beauty and tranquility, the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands and yet still the least
discovered. Our team of adventure guides are as passionate as they are enthusiastic. Through and
with them you will come to know and treasure island culture, tradition and community. These are
adventures you’ve only dreamt of.

Winding its way through mango and guava groves to the sea, MSN Travel called the Ocean Course
one of the world’s twelve most beautiful courses. It’s little wonder that the list of accolades for this
Jack Nicklaus Signature track is as long as its string of holes that hug the Pacific. This continuous
stretch of oceanfront golf is the longest in all of Hawaii and a certain highlight of every round. Future
enhancements include a handsome new clubhouse on the lagoon along with a world-class practice
facility. Both promise to take your game, and your vacation, to the next level.

Marking the entry to Kalapaki Beach are Hōkūala’s two lighthouses, the tallest a 116|
island landmark on Ninini Point.
At Hōkūala the deep sea fishing is as incredible as it is mouthwatering – imagine the ono,
mahi mahi or ahi you’ve caught, prepared by our chef for tonight’s dinner. The diving
is just as spellbinding – reef fish found nowhere else on earth are here.
As you come to know Kaua‘i, you come to realize that all the best beaches are right in our neighborhood.
Throw a bag over your shoulder and stroll over to one of the best of all, the sandy crescent that is
Kalapaki Beach. Minutes away, through the tree tunnel, are the endless stretches of Po‘ipu, the cliffs
at Shipwreck Beach and Spouting Horn. Aboard a surfboard or kayak, with fins and a snorkel, there are
simply no boundaries to the ways you can immerse yourself in the sparkling waters of the Pacific.

Each day brings the promise not only for new, but very different experiences – one day sinking your toes
into a sandy beach, another sinking your hiking boots into a mountainside trail – and then diving through
a crystal clear waterfall. The shopping and dining scene is refreshingly unhurried.
Craft boutiques, shave ice and island-roasted coffee – the slow road is the one to take.
It’s time to be a kid again – to let the spirit soar on zip lines through the jungle, aboard helicopters
cresting mountaintops and trails that skirt ocean cliffs. Everywhere Kaua‘i dazzles with new discoveries,
and nowhere as much as in the jungle. Here are the heavenly waterfalls of Waipo‘o, Wai‘ale‘ale, ‘Ōpaeka‘a
and Hanakāpi‘ai. There are a thousand more. Here is the peaceful Wailua, a river of wonder meandering
through bird sanctuaries, the Secret Falls and Fern Grotto. What better way to explore it than by canoe,
kayak or paddleboard? At Hōkūala, everything is possible.

mahalo nui loaOceanfront property in Hawaii is impossibly rare, and the combination of a private residence and
championship golf on the shoreline may never be seen again. Timbers Kaua‘i – Ocean Club & Residences is an
extraordinary opportunity to immerse yourself in all that is Kaua‘i, here at the water’s edge.
Commanding the premier oceanfront location at Hōkūala is Timbers Kaua‘i – Ocean Club & Residences.

seamlessly outside to spacious lanais. All of Timbers’ signature amenities are here – infinity pools at
the edge of the Pacific, sunrise yoga and wellness programs infused with holistic island practices, our
