Kauai, often referred to as the “Garden Isle,” is known for its natural splendor and tranquil ambiance, offering a variety of experiences to suit all types of travelers. This summer, Kauai is unveiling a range of exciting new attractions, including a historic resort renovation, immersive farm tours, and fresh outdoor adventures that highlight the island’s stunning landscapes. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, cultural immersion, or outdoor exploration, Kauai has something special in store for visitors.
One of the most notable transformations on the island is the Royal Sonesta Kauaʻi Resort at Kalapaki Bay. After undergoing a significant multi-million-dollar renovation, this iconic resort has entered a new phase, combining its rich history with contemporary updates. Originally opened in 1960 as the Kauaʻi Surf Hotel, the property has had several incarnations over the years, from the Westin Kaua‘i to the Kaua‘i Marriott Resort. With the latest renovations, the Royal Sonesta Kauaʻi Resort has reinvented its guest rooms, restaurants, and public spaces, offering guests a refreshed and elevated experience.
A highlight of the renovation is the introduction of Drums & Dances of Polynesia, a captivating family-friendly lū‘au that brings the cultural traditions of the Hawaiian Islands to life. This vibrant new experience features Polynesian music, hula dancing, and storytelling, offering an interactive and educational evening for guests. Paired with delicious Hawaiian cuisine, it’s an unforgettable way to connect with the island’s rich heritage.
