The Lodge at Kukuiʻula

The Best Family-Friendly Resorts in Hawaii, According to a Local | Condé Nast Traveler

"Perfect for family vacations and small group gatherings, this place feels more like home than hotel, marrying refined taste with laid-back island vibes across standalone cottages, bungalows, and villas featuring Hawaiian plantation-style architecture, contemporary furnishings, and fully equipped kitchens. Private outdoor spaces—think outdoor showers and broad porches, plus barbecues, firepits, and even private pools in some units—invite lingering, while a newly built sports complex with bikes to borrow, pickleball courts, and hoops, along with a lagoon-style saltwater pool, keep everyone active. Families wander the 10-acre farm to pick flowers, fruits, and veggies and often spot nēnē, Hawaii’s beloved state bird." - Catherine Toth Fox
