From the Host
Niulani Lanikai sits along the beachfront in Kapaa, built in a traditional Hawaiian style that invites a relaxed, island-centered experience. The property offers multiple on-site spaces, from the main home to a charming cottage and an additional living area above the garage, all oriented toward ocean views. You’ll live steps from the walk/bike path, with easy access to shops, beaches, and local restaurants, and you can dine al fresco on the deck with the sound of the Pacific as a backdrop. The stay centers on grounded, uncomplicated moments—shared meals, sunsets, and time with loved ones—supported by a locally owned host who offers on-island assistance.
