Peaceful relaxation and exotic island scenery are the allure of Lae Nani. A few minutes drive from Lihue Airport takes you to this retreat on the eastern Coconut Coast of the breathtakingly beautiful Garden Island of Kauai. Sandy beaches offer golden opportunities for swimming and sunning. The Wailua River with its romantic rainforest haven, Fern Grotto, and the splendor of Opaekaa Falls are just a few reasons why the alii or Hawaiian royalty laid claim to this playground. Kauai`s beauty is mesmerizing. Sheer cliffs that stand sentinel along the rugged Na Pali Coast. Leafy fields of taro blessed by misty rains of Hanalei. The impressive Waimea Canyon carved by nature`s hand. Rare and lovely lehua flowers in scarlet and bright yellow. Fragrant maile and mokihana for weaving into sacred lei. Miles of sandy beaches that glow in the sun. There are timeless legends that tell of ancient peoples and great spirits who lived among this splendor - and perhaps still do. Kauai invites adventure of all variety. Paddle a kayak up the lazy Wailua River to the mysterious Fern Grotto. Ride the ocean surf propelled by billowing winds. Hike along the Kalalau Trail where ancient Hawaiians dwelt in secret verdant valleys. Tee off on championship greens with spectacular ocean views. Or browse through local shops in search of island treats and treasure. E Komo Mai! Welcome. At Lae Nani, our guests are special friends. We invite you to share our island hospitality and the paradise that is our home. Fortunately, Outrigger at Lae Nani does have beach for swimming and lots of area for lounging in the sun. *Please be aware that starting November 16, 2006, the State of Hawaii is instituting a new no-smoking law across the state.
