Book Lihue hotels

If you’ve got to get away fast and your current mood is “Can’t be bothered”, it sounds like you need a holiday to Lihue …and a mai tai. Located on the east coast of Kauai, Lihue is a great destination for breaking in your new bathers and chilling the heck out. Just lie face-down on the beach and turn every half hour, snorkelling occasionally. Looking for more action? Well, Lihue was a filming location for Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, so…already scoping out hotels in Lihue? Let’s go!

Don’t start thinking it’s hard to find stuff in Lihue just because a world and a really big, shiny box have gone missing among the swaying palm trees. In fact, Lihue hotels are easy to find. If you book accommodation near Nawiliwili Harbor, you can even re-enact your favourite Jurassic Park scenes, but BYOD—bring your own dinosaur.

Things to Do in Lihue

To start with a day of social detox (a.k.a. being left the heck alone), set down your towel at Kalapaki Beach, south of the airport. From Kalapaki, you can easily access luxey Lihue accommodation and the most important holiday amenities—like turquoise water, golden sand and open-air shopping. If good surf is what you seek, catch the next wave to Hanamaulu Beach and take a longboarding class or snorkel in the bay. Need a sugar rush? Check out Grove Farm Museum, a sugar cane plantation that’s been keeping it sweet since the 19th century. If you want to learn traditional hula dancing—who doesn’t?—strap on a grass skirt and get down at Kauai Museum downtown.
