"A wellness‑forward beachfront escape where design and sustainability lead the way, this modern‑bohemian haven features airy interiors woven with natural fibers and plants, easy access to swimming, snorkeling, and surfing, indulgent spa and pool time, and even its own golf course framed by tropical mountains." - Shelby Wax
"This Kauai resort has all the ingredients for a magical Hawaiian getaway—swimmable beach out front, a legendary surf break a short paddle away, stunning pools (including a sleek adults-only option), strong on-site bars and restaurants, easy access to nearby hiking and a cute town—and what sets it apart is its bona fide wellness focus: cutting-edge medi-spa offerings and robust fitness and mind/body programming. Guest rooms are sand-hued with reclaimed teak and island touches, service is casual but professional, and staff happily share local recommendations." - Jessica Sulima
"One of Kauaʻi’s buzzy recent openings (2023), 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay blends biophilic design with elevated service and is described as visually soothing at every turn." - Rachel Cheng
"I was invited to spend four nights at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay in Kauai; it's described as a five‑star luxury resort and, for a sales director with young children, became “the one trip a year that is truly for us.”" - Anna Silman
"Tucked into Kauai’s lush North Shore, the hotel provides a swimmable beach steps from your room, private access to a legendary surf break, and a serene adults-only pool with panoramic ocean views, all wrapped in a deep wellness ethos that makes it feel like a true reset. Ocean-view and oceanfront suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, reclaimed teak, lava stone bathrooms, and local artisan decor; couples can book wellness packages at the Bamford Wellness Spa—quartz bed massages, floating therapy, body treatments using native botanicals like noni and kava—and enjoy sunrise yoga, guided coastal hikes, and nutrition consultations, with Hanalei town’s boutiques and beachside cafés just minutes away." - Paris Wilson
