Waves crash near the lanais of Koa Kea Hotel & Resort's oceanfront guestrooms, a collection of low-profile buildings that blend with the nature around them. Inside, fresh flowers accent simple, modern island décor and art prints of coral. Koa Kea means "white coral," a tribute to the life-giving power of the reefs. According to Hawaiian mythology, coral is the goddess granddaughter of the world’s creator. From November to May, Koa Kea’s slice of the Pacific hosts a migration of humpback whales, so keep an eye to the horizon.

Hawaiian 🌺 Old School Luxurious vibe. We couldn’t have been more relaxed and the hospitality was AMAZING! Thank you to the staff from housekeeping, Red Salt breakfast, Valet, baggage claim, the gentleman who set up the pool towels every morning (so friendly!) our two wonderful pool bartender gals you rock and their super kind poolside/bar help, he was amazing! THANK YOU for your ALOHA spirit and helping make our trip just flow with ease and peace of tranquility.

Beautiful boutique hotel! Our room was perfect and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! The staff was all exceptionally friendly! We had an oceanfront room and I highly recommend it - incredible views and a great patio to relax on.

The room was luxurious, clean, spacious, and had excellent air conditioning! The staff was top-notch and so incredibly friendly! The resort itself is smaller than some others in the area which was perfect. It was intimate yet spacious enough to not feel like you were one of hundreds of people. The pool was delightful! The food was fantastic!! The concierge helped us book activities and took all the pressure off us for planning. They handled everything from start to finish! We were relaxed the entire time and knew 100% we were taken care of. I would highly recommend this resort for a fantastic stay in Kauai!!!

This was our ninth visit to Ko'a Kea Resort, and we look forward to returning. The outstanding hospitality and warm welcome by all the staff, along with the atmosphere, both comfortable and luxurious, make it a perfect place to vacation. The sushi bar is amazing, a real highlight of our trip. Short walks along the beach took us to sea turtles and seals basking on the sand. Highly recommended!

A luxury boutique hotel right on the water. Unlike the other "mega" hotels in the area, this hotel is small and intimate. The location can't be beat and the staff are plentiful and always friendly and helpful. The vibe is "chill out and relax".
