Kai Sushi offering the island’s freshest sushi and Japanese cuisine features, in a new restaurant space to the left of the lobby, a design inspired by the story of the native Hawaiians’ arrival across the sea. Kai Sushi features hand-carved ceiling beams that recall the shapes of the outrigger canoes. The glowing back of the Sushi Bar and carved wood columns are inspired by traditional Hawaiian art forms in print. The warm tones of wood, woven grasses, honed plaster and gold-hued stone set a natural tableau for the bright colours of the fresh sushi delicacies. Kai Sushi offers more than 20 varieties of the most popular types of sushi and sashimi and innovative Japanese cuisine.

At The Beach House Bar & Grill, sip on tropical delights while enjoying the waves, surfers and sometimes, the whales. More than 40 fully-grown coconut palms form a natural canopy over this beachfront restaurant where guests delight in a selection of tropical cocktails and fresh, light fare.

A newly-expanded spacious lanai offers outdoor seating or guests may choose to sit inside to enjoy the entertainment in the evening. The new Lobby Bar design takes inspiration from the volcanic birth of the islands where lava meets the sea. The illuminated onyx bar with its carved wood details and hand-blown glass pendants sets a warm glow in the heart of the lobby, long after sunset has faded.

The Pool Bar & Café offers tropical drinks, smoothies, appetisers, sandwiches and salads at the bar or served to the guest’s chaise lounge. Twice daily, the pool servers present complimentary fresh Maui pineapple to guests. If you are lounging in the pool, don’t worry about being left out; the servers will enter the water fully dressed to serve you!
