Come home to Kauai
L
oved for its undeveloped feel and raw
natural beauty, Kauai is nicknamed the
Garden Isle for the rainforest covering
much of the ancient island. Along its South Shore
is Kukui'ula, a private community spread out
over 1,000 acres, formerly the home of McBryde
Sugar Plantation.
A mix of Plantation-sle residences—many
with glorious ocean views—populate the verdant
hillsides and epic coast, with prices starting
at approximately $2.4 million for a condo and
upwards of $13 million for a five-bedroom custom home.
Non-members can book stays at e Lodge at Kukui'ula,
which offers a slish mix of cottages, bungalows and villas,
all in the Plantation vernacular.
e heart of the communi is the Clubhouse, a $100
million home base where one can head out to play 18
holes on the Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course or book
a treatment at the wellness retreat—an ocean-view oasis
where fresh herbs and botanicals sourced from Kukui'ula's
10-acre farm formulate its one-of-a-kind products. One can
lounge on the sprawling green of the club's Great Lawn or
head to the infini pool—a family-friendly spot adjacent to
the proper's network of idyllic saltwater pools connected
via cascading waterfalls, a waterslide and manmade beach.
Other family fun is had on island excursions and onsite
cultural activities led by an honorary kupuna (elder), from
storytelling to stringing leis. kukuiula.com
