About us

Reinvigorate and celebrate your group at this award-winning boutique resort located the sunny South Shore. Named the #1 Kauai resort by Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, Ko’a Kea offers the island’s closest accommodations to the sand and modern amenities, making it ideal for executive retreats and incentive trips. 90% of its 121 contemporary guest rooms and suites have ocean views, coming equipped with private lanais and sheer draperies to allow the sun and sea breeze to become part of the in-room experience. Just steps beyond the patios of oceanfront guest rooms is Poipu Beach, one of Kauai’s most swimmable beaches, popular for snorkeling, kayaking, surfing and other water sports. An on-site beach activity center provides equipment rentals, group lessons and local recommendations with ease. Though located just 20 minutes from the Lihue airport and nearby golf, hiking, and other top attractions, Ko’a Kea’s amenities make for an intimate and inconspicuous Hawaiian escape that your team can truly claim as their own. A serene saltwater pool area, seaside spa cabana offering indigenous services, and Red Salt restaurant beloved by visitors and locals alike are all complemented by award-winning service that is both highly personalized and personable. When the call of business can be heard over the ocean waves, the 700-square-foot Koa Room boasts space for up to 24 attendees, plenty of natural light and a private in-suite bathroom. Catering menus by acclaimed Executive Chef Noelani Planas – a student of Michael Mina, Wolfgang Puck and Joël Robuchon – feature artful cuisine crafted using fresh local produce and seafood.
