Field notes
Fly to Lihue (LIH)
Lihue Airport (LIH) is approximately a 50-minute drive north along the coastal road. Valet parking is $55/night. Having a rental car is highly recommended for exploring Hanalei town, Waimea Canyon, and the south coast.
Welina Terrace & Wellness Classes
The Welina Terrace sunset bar is a north shore highlight that welcomes external guests. Tables fill weeks in advance, so reserve yours when booking your stay. Take advantage of the complimentary daily wellness classes, which range from morning yoga to sound baths.
Hillside Elevation & Lively Vibe
The resort is tiered down a steep hillside, which means you'll be using multiple elevators or steps to transition between the rooms, pools, and beach. The property is a popular social hub and welcomes outside visitors, meaning shared spaces can feel lively and less secluded.
