What's Not Included
- Transportation
- Alchohol
- Additional Night at $975 / night
- Optional Spa Time
Unscheduled time built in on purpose — book a treatment, nap, or just sit by the water.
- Optional Decompression Day
The house is yours all day — no schedule, no rush, just room to breathe. And if one day of decompressing isn't enough, add a night at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay or the Secret Beach House and let the reset run a little longer. This beach house was built for slowing down. Sea air, wide horizons, and the hush of a private shoreline set the tone, while the space itself is designed to let the outside world fall away. Spend the day moving between sand, shade, and open water, and let the rhythm of the coast do the work. By evening you'll feel it: unhurried, clear-headed, and quietly restored.
