Princeville accommodation from AU$745

As with the rest of the island of Kauai, this small coastal city is quiet and uncrowded, and Princeville accommodation is as easy to find as a good view. Prince Albert Kamehameha was a big fan of the area, after all, and he was picky. Check out more Hawaii accommodation on other islands, too.

Speaking of royalty and water, start your sightseeing tour at Queen’s Bath, a naturally formed stone swimming pool filled by ocean waves on the northern tip of the city. For some lazy beach vibes, grab your towel and amble west along the coast to the bright blue waters at Hideaway Beach, or trek a little further to Puu Poa Beach for some fabulous snorkelling. To air dry, smell the hibiscus at Princeville Botanical Gardens, about 5 km south of town. Later, prove how well you clean up for dinner and sunset-watching near Puu Poa Point or south of Princeville close to Hanalei Bay. When you’ve had your fill of fresh seafood and Kauai’s own fruits and veggies, get some rest in one of the nearby Princeville hotels, so you can hit the driving range early in the morning—or just sleep in and read on the beach.
