The first thing you'll notice when you enter Poipu Kapili is the sense of peacefulness. It is utterly secluded, but warmly social. Though renowned for a very personal scale of service, spaciousness is a hallmark here. The elegance is understated, and the glorious sunshine is cooled by the gentle trade winds of the Hawaiian archipelago.

The great beauty of Poipu Kapili is to be found in the details. From the helpful, friendly staff to the immaculate, well-stocked kitchen, nothing has been forgotten. Grilling at poolside, you can enhance your meal with fresh herbs from the garden. For a change of mood, the ocean view from your private lanai can be exchanged for a good book from the library, or a movie to watch after the flaming Polynesian sunset takes your breath away.
