Kauai’s Shipwreck Beach on Keoniloa Bay is one of the largest expanses of beach in the Poipu area. The eastern portion of Poipu Kai Resort fronts Shipwreck Beach. Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is immediately adjacent to Poipu Kai Resort and also fronts Shipwreck Beach.

Shipwreck Beach, also known as Keoniloa Beach. The first name was given to this strip of sand due to an old shipwreck found there, which no longer exists. Swimming at this beach is never a good idea because the currents and the surf are really strong.

However, Shipwreck Beach is a favorite among surfers, boogie boarders, windsurfers, and body surfers at the eastern end where the waves are good for these activities. A green flag means the water is safe, although it’s a joke that a green flag has never been put up despite the safe conditions that do occur from time to time.

If you like taking risks, or having a lot of fun, then jump off the Makawehi Point. It’s a cliff that is fun to jump off of into the ocean below although it might not be the best idea and accidents can happen. If you have seen the movie Six Days/Seven Nights then you saw the stunt doubles for Ann Heche an Harrison Ford jumping off this cliff.

In the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, Stevenson’s Library, named for Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, has always been the place to go for specialty and traditional drinks.

Lively conversation, live music, billiards and board games, plus outdoor seating overlooking Keoneloa Bay make this Kaua‘i’s best luxury nightspot.

Savor the aged Cognac and Scotch selections or indulge in a specialty martini.  The majestic 25 foot-long Koa bar in addition to seating areas with deep-cushioned chairs and sofas provide a variety of areas in which to indulge.

Featuring a Sushi bar Friday through Monday.  Open every evening from 6:00 PM, entertainment begins at 8:00 PM.

The new Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, formerly the Hyatt Regency Kauai, is a luxurious 602-room resort recognized by the most respected travel publications as one of top tropical resorts anywhere in the world.

Located on 50 ocean front acres, the Hawaii resort on Kauai is elegant, yet casual and captures the classic, timeless beauty of the islands. Its architecture is reminiscent of Hawaii during the 1920s and ’30s, creating a romantic sense of place that evokes an emotional connection with the land and its people.

The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is thoughtfully built into a hillside overlooking beautiful Keoneloa Bay, blending into the lush mantle of rolling green mountains, and sloping gently to the Pacific and five acres of man-made lagoons that blend with a white sand beach.

The award-winning ANARA Spa recently completed a multi-million dollar expansion and renovation. The project added five new elegant open-air hale (thatched roof bungalows). Each hale now features its own exclusive lava rock shower and steam grotto.

Each of Anara’s personalized spa services embrace elements of traditional Hawaiian healing to release your mind from stress, promote optimum health in your body, and achieve lightness in your spirit, enabling a profound sense of harmony, or lokahi.

The recently renovated guest rooms offer a spacious 600 square feet and each room includes: a private lanai, a separate seating area, elegant Hawaiian style furnishings, air conditioning and ceiling fans, double marble sinks in each bathroom and expected amenities such as remote control color TV with cable reception, in-room safe, high speed internet access, and three telephones including one portable phone.

Close to 70 percent of the rooms provide an ocean or partial ocean view. The remainders are lagoon, garden and mountain views.

Within the resort are six restaurants and lounges, including two of Kauai’s finest dining establishments—Tidepools and Dondero’s. Stevenson’s Library, a favorite gathering place for cocktails and pupus (appetizers) offers fun atmosphere and nightly entertainment.
