Poipu is now, our favorite Hawaiian location! The lush grounds and tropical vegetation with a little rain yet more sunshine. It is a tropical paradise! Not a concrete jungle like most modern resorts in Hawaii. Kiahuna Plantation is a perfect place for families, fun, watersports and romance without the feeling of being over crowded. The resort is a low density development and surprisingly quiet.
Kiahuna Plantation is a very traditional Hawaiian plantation style resort with large open lawns, gorgeous tropical gardens and plantation style construction. Plenty of room to get comfortable, relax and enjoy Island time in Paradise.
