What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
No mere rooms or suites, the accommodations at Timbers Kaua‘i are residences, spanning two, three, or even four bedrooms.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched above Nawiliwili Bay, the estate sits ten minutes from Lihue Airport, with kayak lagoons and Kalapaki Beach nearby.
The rooms
Multi-bedroom residences feature Thermador kitchens, deep stone soaking tubs, and wide lanais, with private plunge pools reserved for split-level townhomes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A two-tiered heated infinity pool cascades toward the ocean bluffs, bordered by stone terraces and palms.
The spa
Yoga and fitness
Cardio machines look out over tropical gardens, and sunrise yoga classes face the ocean through sliding glass doors.
Hualani’s Restaurant & Bar
Farm-harvested Hawaiian dishes and cocktails are served on an open-air terrace, with live music playing on weekends.
How it began
Rescuing an abandoned, overgrown golf course in 2014, the developers restored the surrounding lagoons and established a sixteen-acre organic farm.
