Nestled on the southern edge of Hawaii’s oldest island, this all-lodge resort offers a homely sense of community both to residents investing in the property and nightly guests. Intimate small-group adventures crafted by the Kukui’ula team of local guides range from the aquatic, such as whale watching and surf lessons, to jaunts to the familial atmosphere of the Upcountry farm and fishing lake. Not to mention the exclusive 18-hole Tom Weiskopf Golf Course, clubhouse and spa with signature wet rituals vying for attention, should one manage tear themselves away from lanai and gardens of the spacious and richly appointed lodges.
