Hale Hapuna is a sanctuary designed to enrich family connections and foster a deep appreciation for the landscape and seascape of Kaua'i's South Shore. The outdoor spaces offer numerous gathering spots that seamlessly blend comfortable seating with breathtaking views of natural wonders. Among lush plantings, cozy seating nooks are nestled, while thin roof "opihi shells" shield outdoor lounge and dining areas. The Primary Bedroom features a cantilevered lanai that seemingly floats amid palm fronds. These gathering points are strategically positioned to highlight significant natural elements of Kaua'i, such as Mount Haupu and the breaking waves on Kukui’ula harbor reefs. They also invite the appreciation of atmospheric conditions like clouds, rainbows, sunrises, and sunsets. The chosen materials, including lava, limestone, coral, wood, and water, reflect the essence of Kaua'i.
