Honua Kai Resort & Spa: For Families and Friends Traveling Together

Sep 04, 2012

Whether it’s a family of two, an extended family group, or friends traveling together, the perfect solution for Maui accommodations is at Honua Kai Resort. The rooms are generous suites with spacious separate living and sleeping areas, fully equipped high-end kitchens, full-size washers & dryers. Expansive furnished lanai allows the outdoors in with a special folding glass wall.

Honua Kai offers the ideal luxury of a beautifully appointed resort, surrounded by nearby activities. Refresh and relax at the Aquatic Playground, featuring a waterslide, waterfall and a sandy beach for the kids plus a meandering lazy river with adjoining serenity and lap pools for the ultimate rejuvenation.  And of course, world-famous Kaanapali Beach is steps away inviting a stroll on the pure white sand, a dip in the sea or a front row seat to watch in awe as humpback whales play right off shore.

There are many land and sea soft adventure activities within a short five-minute drive of Honua Kai Resort. Aina (land) activities include hikes, golf, zip lining, ATV outings and horseback riding. Kai (ocean) options are snorkeling in Honolua Bay Marine Reserve, parasailing, SUP (stand up paddling) and surfboard lessons, canoe paddling and whale watching.

Or take a day trip along the legendary road to Hana with its 620 curves and 59 bridges — leading through rainforests, waterfalls and pristine pools. Or head out early to watch the sunrise at spectacular Haleakala, and meander though Upcountry, the home of the Hawaiian paniolo.

With more travelers opting for adventure travel when planning Maui vacations, it is no wonder that Honua Kai Resort & Spa has become a destination for adventurers – young and old alike – wanting engaging outdoor activities amid luxury alternative accommodations that meet their needs.

To help guests discover the Valley Isle, Maui’s newest luxury resort and TripAdvisor's top rated resort on the west side, Honua Kai Resort & Spa created their popular Room & Car Package.

When opting for together time at the resort, onsite activities abound. The Family Fun Club provides festive, Hawaiian themed activities that fun-loving families enjoy — hula dancing, flower lei making, nature scavenger hunts and Hawaiian storytelling are just a few. Adults can take in fitness classes offered on the resort grounds or drop into the Fitness Center for a workout.

Honua Kai’s dining venues are a culinary adventure. Duke’s Beach House provides exceptional oceanfront dining while paying homage to the restaurant’s namesake, legendary surfer and waterman Duke Kahanamoku. Serving fresh locally sourced ingredients for breakfast, lunch, dinner or cocktails. The Hawaiian-influenced cuisine focuses on fresh sustainable ingredients, including seafood and premium steaks. Cocktails are often accompanied by entertainment.

Aina Gourmet Market is a charming café with a full coffee bar, pastries, prepared salads, Panini sandwiches, and healthy grab-and-go meals. The market is based on the concept of using products within a 100-mile radius — stocking produce from Maui first, preferably from smaller farms and island based businesses. Along with prepared meals, they offer a wide selection of grocery items, snacks, wines and spirits as well as gift items.

The BBQ grilling areas are popular with families and friends to create masterpieces for en suite dining experiences — ideal for gatherings or entertaining.

Whether they are seeking adventure, relaxation or reconnection, people are traveling together to create memories. Honua Kai Resort sets the stage for these wonderful experiences to unfold.

For reservations and information, please contact a travel professional, or call the Honua Kai Resort & Spa directly at 866-270-9512, or visit www.honuakai.com.
