Kauaʻi: 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay

Tucked into Kauaʻi’s lush North Shore, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay has everything you’d want for a next-level honeymoon: a swimmable beach steps from your room, private access to a legendary surf break, and a serene adults-only pool with panoramic ocean views. While many resorts offer beauty, this one goes further—with a deep wellness ethos that makes it feel like a true reset for both body and mind.

For newlyweds, the ocean view and oceanfront suites offer romantic seclusion with floor-to-ceiling windows, organic materials, and thoughtful touches like reclaimed teak wood, lava stone bathrooms, and local artisan decor.

Outside the spa, the resort’s wellness programming includes sunrise yoga, guided hikes along coastal trails, and nutrition consultations. When you’re ready for a taste of island life, Hanalei town is just minutes away, offering charming boutiques and beachside cafés perfect for a relaxed date.
