Drawing upon ancient Hawaiian knowledge of water and breathwork, guests are invited to paddle, pedal and perform by way of Kainalu Sports. Step inside Hale ‘I‘ike, the House of Knowledge, and immerse yourself in Hawaii's extraordinary indigenous living culture. Dine at CanoeHouse - the signature oceanfront restaurant celebrating Hawaii’s soulful connection between land and sea, highlighting the island’s unique bounty.
While they expanded the lawn adding firepits, integrated authentic textures into the design, and built an iconic bar to anchor the entire space, they knew the delicate restoration would be an undertaking. The hotel sought out to not only keep CanoeHouse’s decades of history and tradition, but celebrate them. The husband and wife team of Matt and Yuka Raso add to the alchemy and create the chemistry that makes CanoeHouse the heart of the resort.
Connecting the Great Lawn to the beach, the Surf Shack is home to the Kainalu watersports program and our legendary watermen and women. Start the day here with sunrise yoga and fresh lemonade. Chase the horizon in a Hawaiian outrigger canoe, hone your stand up paddle skills, or just hang out on the Surf Shack deck.
