Destination weddings can be a great deal of fun, for the bridal party, wedding guests, family and friends. Beach destinations are often the top of the list of choices and while all of the Hawaiian islands are great options, many brides select Kauai. The wildly romantic scenery, the deep greens in the landscapes, tropical flowers and waterfalls throughout the island set the tone for weddings.
Kauai has always been a favorite for first-time and return guests, and is also one that many visitors choose as a second island to explore when they plan on a trip to Oahu. The four shores, easily designated by four directions, and each with its own features also makes this, the Garden Isle, a multi-faceted visit. Kauai’s areas to see by land on by car or by bicycle are only a smattering of the island’s vast hidden spots that guests should plan on exploring. Discovering those areas are genuine and rare experiences for the traveler who seeks more than a checking out a luau and a few waterfalls. The romance and adventure are visible by boat, airplane or by hiking trails.
The Bali House
An island within an island, The Bali House is a Kalihiwai retreat that is perfect for the bridal party or extended family attending a destination wedding. Send the bride and groom off and luxuriate in your own vacation time with an infinity-edge pool, spa tub, vast outdoor spaces and a Balinese atmosphere. Kauai’s North Shore is where this dream vacation rental is located, so explore funky and offbeat Hanalei Town and the mysteries of the Napali Coast, plus wildlife, nature and heritage excursions at the Kilauea Lighthouse and Waioli Mission House. The vast, rugged mountain setting is a welcome contrast to nearby Secret Beach. Enjoy quality time in the gourmet kitchen whipping up local meals or hire a chef to pamper and prepare sumptuous dinners.
Hale Kai
Hale Kai, which means ocean house, exudes the feeling of sunny Poipu and its warm beaches the minute you step in the front door. A family of four or a few girlfriends will find this vacation rental a fantastic alternative to staying in a hotel room or suite. The fully equipped kitchen, proximity to beaches and golf and ocean views will please everyone. The nearby eateries and accessibility to other sides of the island are also important amenities. Staying here and making fun gourmet picnic lunches and a dinner or two on occasion will certainly help put the travel budget toward other items, or just a cost savings after making the trip to the destination wedding. It’s also a taste of paradise to enjoy a home rather than a room and gives everyone the space they need to truly enjoy Kauai’s varied sights.
