What's Included
Room only
Nalu Spa is your go-to spot for a moment of pure bliss. Picture this: soothing massages, refreshing facials, and treatments packed with local goodies like coconut oil and sea salt. Every treatment is designed to leave you feeling like a brand-new person, relaxed and glowing. Overdone it in the sunshine? There’s a targeted treatment designed to replenish and hydrate sun-exposed skin, combining aloe, noni fruit, and kukui and macadamia coconut oils to provide intense hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ready to work up a sweat? Whether you want to smack a few tennis balls or get your pickleball fix, you’ll find multiple courts and be serving up aces in no time. Not feeling the racket life? Hit the fitness centre, join a yoga class, or explore the trails. There's no shortage of ways to stay active in Hawaii.
Dive into stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or snorkelling in the calm, crystal-clear waters of Kuilima Cove. The gentle waves are perfect for newbies and seasoned pros alike, and there are plenty of fish and coral to discover beneath the surface.
If swimming pools are more your style, the resort’s got you covered. The adults-only infinity pool, with its epic ocean backdrop, is the ideal spot for a relaxing bob-about or a cheeky cocktail. For families, there’s a pool where the little ones can make a splash and whizz down the water slides at the Keiki Pool or come together at the huge main pool, where family-sized cabanas can be booked by the day.
The resort’s celebrated Arnold Palmer Course is a golfer’s paradise, offering 18 holes of pure island magic. This course has it all, from the front nine with its Scottish Links-style layout to the back nine that takes you through lush, tropical landscapes. You’ll even play around a 100-acre wetland and bird sanctuary. The signature 17th hole is a real standout, with killer ocean views that make even a missed shot feel worth it.
It is standard practice for resorts/hotels within the USA to charge a mandatory resort fee which is payable locally.
This fee can be anywhere between 5USD to 40 USD per room per night and is not included in the cost of your Kuoni holiday.
