Makai Grill + Bar: This poolside eatery specializes in no-fuss dishes made with produce from The Farm. Featuring local specialties like poke bowls and musubis, plus salads and sandwiches, the lunch menu is sure to delight.

Open for lunch, snack, and bar service daily starting at 11 am, and is open on Sunday for Sunday Grilling.

The Makai Pools~

Discover the Kaua'i vacation rentals with breathtaking pools. The Makai Pool complex rests just steps from the Clubhouse, perched on a slope above the Pacific Ocean. At the top, an infinity-edge serenity pool is equipped with loungers for soaking up the sun, half-submerged in fresh water. Below, saltwater lagoon-style pools flow together, connected by cascading waterfalls, giving kids (and kids-at-heart) the space and freedom to play. 

A beach entry pool leads right to the edge of the Makai Grill + Bar, inviting a seamless flow from fun to food and back again.

Wellness~

Spa: Features custom treatments, tonics, and juices that are infused with garden botanicals grown on-site. After indulging in a massage, acupuncture, or aesthetician services, enjoy the spa's private lounges and locker rooms with outdoor showers, steam and sauna rooms, and hot and cold plunge pools for the ultimate relaxing getaway in Poipu, Kaua'i. 

Please note that the spa and spa services are reserved for guests 18 years of age or older.

Fitness Center: In the fitness center, find a full range of strength and cardio equipment in a breezy indoor-outdoor environment with stunning ocean views. Workout with your favorite Peloton instructors on one of the Peloton bikes, or connect in-person with a certified instructor who is available for one-on-one fitness assessments to create a tailored workout plan that meets your individual goals.

A host of expert-led workouts are available every day and include yoga, barre, Pilates, advanced swim, cross training, strength training, and light functional circuit, with an emphasis on personalized instruction, hands-on alignment, and supportive coaching. Review our 10-day calendar of fitness classes held on the property for more details. 

Please note that the fitness center is reserved for guests 16 years of age or older.

The Farm~

Walk, hike, or bike upcountry to the Farm, the 10-acre wonderland where you can pick your own fresh flowers, pluck tropical fruits and citrus, or gather seasonal herbs, greens, and vegetables for your kitchen. The Farm team is available to help, whether with harvesting or gardening advice. En route to our organic farm on Kaua'i, take in the pristine scenery of Kukui‘ula. You’re bound to catch a glimpse of local birds and wildlife, like the beloved nēnē, a native goose that is designated the state bird of Hawai‘i.

Open Daily: 7:00 am to 6:00 pm

Golf~

Tom Weiskopf designed the challenging 18-hole Kaua'i golf course that Golf Digest called “One of the Best Courses in Hawaii.” The challenging 14th hole, sometimes described as “a quintessential Weiskopf par 4,” has become legendary—and not just because of its dramatic ocean views, or sightings of spinner dolphins and humpback whales.

The golf clubhouse includes a pro shop, lounges and locker rooms, lessons, practice greens, and golf boards and carts.

Courts~

The newly constructed sports court complex features two fully dedicated pickleball courts and a separate basketball court that can also be converted into a third pickleball court. Work on your backhand or jump shot while on vacation in a beautiful tropical setting.

Four brand new tennis courts are right next door, available for practice, lessons, and match play.
