Hanalei Colony’s “Tee Up & Wind Down” package offers golf at Kauai’s acclaimed Princeville Prince Golf Course or Poipu Bay Golf Course, and spa treatments at Hanalei Day Spa, located at the resort. The package provides flexibility, so two guests can both enjoy the golf and spa activities, or one person can head to the golf course while the other luxuriates at the spa. “Tee Up & Wind Down” includes five nights Ocean View accommodations, a “Back Nine” welcome basket upon arrival with a variety of golf-related gifts, and choice of two items from the following activity list (the same item can be selected twice, if desired): Two rounds of golf (for two people playing together) at the top-ranked Prince Golf Course on Kauai’s north shore or the renowned Poipu Bay Golf Course on the south shore; two Golfer Spa Treatments at Hanalei Day Spa (includes a sunburn relief treatment with head, foot, and hand massage, a Eucalyptus Mint facial mask, and a protein smoothie); two Pamper Me spa treatments (includes a one-hour massage and 30-minute body polish); or one round at the Prince Course and one Pamper Me or Golfer Spa treatment.

Hanalei Colony has partnered with the nearby 1,000-acre Limahuli Garden and Preserve to offer a package combining vacation fun with volunteer opportunities. The Beach & Botany Package requires guests to make a minimum commitment of two daily four-hour volunteer sessions per person (must be at least 14 years old) at Limahuli Garden. The package also includes five or seven nights accommodations, a picnic basket lunch for two, a one-day kayak rental for two on the Hanalei River, an oceanside massage for two by the therapists of Hanalei Day Spa, annual membership to the National Tropical Botanical Garden, and a special arrival gift providing a few essential items for “tropical gardeners.” The Beach & Botany package prices range from $1,995 for five nights in an Ocean View unit during Low Season to $3,490 for seven nights in a Premium Ocean Front unit during High Season dates.

All of the above package prices are subject to applicable taxes and are based on double occupancy. The packages cannot be combined with any other special offer. An Avis rental car can be arranged through the resort, as well, for an additional fee.
