Hale Pali Kai — Luxury Oceanfront Vacation Rental in Kalapaki Bay, Kauai
Experience the perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and adventure in paradise.

Welcome to Hale Pali Kai, your dream oceanfront Kauai vacation rental perched high above Kalapaki Bay. Translating to “High Cliff House” in Hawaiian, Hale Pali Kai offers breathtaking views, luxurious comfort, and an unbeatable location between two of Kauai’s premier resorts.

Float above the turquoise waters, watch sea turtles glide below, and enjoy fiery sunsets from one of three private lanais—a front-row seat to the magic of Kauai.

Oceanfront Luxury with a View That Takes Your Breath Away

Situated on the Kalapaki Bay Cliff, our home faces directly west, offering dramatic sunset views over the mountains and ocean. Soaring 16-foot ceilings and 12-foot sliding glass doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience that brings Kauai’s natural beauty right into your living room.

Relax to the sound of the surf, the whisper of palm trees, and the gentle island breeze.

Prime Location Between Kauai’s Finest Resorts

Hale Pali Kai sits between the Timbers Kauai Resort and the Royal Sonesta Resort, placing you steps away from fine dining, spas, and resort amenities.

Through ResortPass.com, you can access resort pools, cabanas, and daybeds for a true five-star experience. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, our location lets you enjoy the best of both privacy and luxury.

Designed for Comfort, Inspired by Kauai’s Spirit

Spread across 3.5 levels, Hale Pali Kai offers comfort, privacy, and a genuine sense of home:

• Two oceanfront master suites with private lanais and spa-style bathrooms overlooking the bay

• Guest bedroom with two queen beds and central A/C

• Open-concept living and dining area with panoramic ocean views

• Gentle trade winds, ceiling fans, and a mostly bug-free environment thanks to our oceanfront elevation

• All main living spaces are air-conditioned, and the home’s thoughtful design captures the island’s natural airflow for year-round comfort.

Endless Activities at Your Doorstep

At Hale Pali Kai, every day is an opportunity to explore:

Walk to Kalapaki Beach for swimming, surfing, or paddleboarding

Golf at Hokuala Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus — guests receive Kamaʻāina discounts

Play tennis, hike nearby trails, or relax on the sand

Enjoy boutique shopping and local dining just minutes away

Best of all, Lihue Airport is only 7 minutes from your door—so your vacation begins the moment you land.

Discover Kalapaki Beach — Kauai’s Hidden Gem

Featured in Only in Hawaii, Kalapaki Beach is celebrated as one of the most breathtaking beaches in the islands. Its calm waters, golden sands, and palm-framed shoreline make it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply watching outrigger canoes glide across the bay.

Despite its central location near the harbor and resorts, Kalapaki remains a peaceful, uncrowded slice of paradise—a true Hawaiian sanctuary.

Your High Point in Paradise Awaits

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family getaway, or a golf retreat, Hale Pali Kai offers the best of luxury, location, and island charm.

Enjoy the privacy of a home with the perks of a resort—and let Kauai’s natural beauty take your breath away.

Book your stay at Hale Pali Kai today and experience the ultimate oceanfront vacation rental in Kauai.
