About this property
Hale Kai Malia is a stunning 4-bedroom luxury villa in the upscale Kukui'ula community on Kauai's South Shore. This spacious estate features elegant island-inspired décor, a private ohana cottage, and lush outdoor amenities including a swimming pool, spa, BBQ area, and covered lanais. Each bedroom opens to a private lanai and boasts an en-suite bath with a serene garden waterfall shower. Enjoy breathtaking ocean and mountain views from the expansive indoor-outdoor living areas. Ideally located near Poipu's top beaches, dining, and shopping, Hale Kai Malia offers a peaceful yet convenient retreat in paradise.
Superbly stylish in every way, this 4BR/4.5BA South Shore showplace offers all the luxuries you’d expect in a glamorous Kukui'ula villa—tropical charm, abundant space, elegant furnishings, expansive ocean-and-mountain views—and many delightful surprises as well. Each of the four en-suite baths features a blissful outdoor waterfall-shower set in an enchanting rock-walled garden, and every bedroom (including one in a private ohana cottage) opens onto its own covered lanai.
Throughout, ceiling fans combine with balmy tradewinds to create the perfect climate, while designer-curated furniture strikes a lovely balance between casual comfort and contemporary chic. Stunning artwork adorns the walls and shelves, and every window frames a painterly vista or a colorful tropical tableau. The inviting indoor spaces flow seamlessly into an outdoor-living area with huge covered lanai, BBQ center, lush landscaping, manicured lawns, turquoise swimming pool, whirlpool spa, and a sunken lounging pavilion. Inside and out, from dawn to sunset, exhilarating views of blue skies, green landscapes, and indigo sea provide an amazingly beautiful backdrop.
The location, of course, is simply ideal: close to Poipu’s most appealing beaches, shopping, restaurants, and recreations. And when it’s time to explore the spectacular attractions of the island beyond—coastline, upcountry, and everywhere between—highway access is a just a short, scenic drive away.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have picked a better home for our stay in Kauai. My family loved every minute.
The house was beautiful and in pristine condition. Communication with the management company was excellent. We had a few minor issues but they were all resolved quickly. Great location and great neighborhood! I highly recommend!
Wonderful house. Very clean. Set up is great. We used the pool a ton in back yard. Conveniently located. Close to shops, restaurants, beach. Highly recommend. Only negative is the house AC. The thermostats are locked at 70 degree and you can’t turn it any lower. The AC shuts off when doors are opened for too long, we were extra careful to keep doors shut. The AC still seemed to have a hard time maintaining at times. Overall great place! Would stay again!
Fantastic home for family trip with great views and awesome outdoor living. Would love to stay here again!!
Great house in a great spot. Good communication, clean. All kitchen items for cooking, grilling, picnics, etc. Furnishings and appliances were appropriate for the home. Would recommend, and would stay again. If I had to find a negative, there were only a couple of really minor items, such as AC limited to 70 (I like 68 at night), and only one roll of paper towels were in the house, but that’s getting pretty nitpicky. Overall, great stay.
Our family had such a great vacation and this house was a huge part of it! Amazing views, comfortable beds, close proximity to food and shopping, wonderful outdoor living areas, private rooms, awesome pool, and so much more! Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We will definitely be making a return trip to this home! Thank you!
If you’re looking for a 5 Star experience then this is the home for you. Beautiful accommodations and amenities throughout including the outdoor space. Top rated kitchen appliances, air conditioning , heated pool, plus every room has a refreshing outdoor shower. Bedding is at least 800 count. Towels super plush. Indoor laundry with top rated appliances. We really cannot say enough how fabulous the entire experience was. Close to shopping and even splurge with a personalized catered dinner by Chef Chelsea and her mixologist hubby Daniel!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Hale Kai Malia to celebrate a special anniversary. Three generations of family occupied the four distinct and comfortable living quarters. The house and associated amenities (including utensils, top-of-the-line appliances, pool, hot tub) were fabulous. While we spent much of our time exploring, the house was a true home base and welcome respite for morning coffee and evening revelry. The hosts we're available for a few inquiries and some minor questions were resolved with both speed and professionalism. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and so grateful we could experience Kauai this way!
Gorgeous home in an ideal location. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and more! Perfect for families.
