AFM: What are some fun leisure activities that the island offers?

VL: Members and guests can spend a day on Polihale beach aka “the house of soul” with a personally catered lunch, trek around the lake at the Farm, kayak to Lawai Kai or for the more adventurous, hike the Kalalau Trail, one of the world’s most dangerous trails.  Moreover, members can create the adventure of their dreams and our Island Pursuits team will make it come to life.

AFM: Is there anything new in the works for the future?

VL: Kukui’ula – the first major new luxury community on Kauai in more than a decade - has partnered with East West Partners to develop the Club Villas at Kukui’ula. The enclave of 13 spectacular ocean-view homes will be positioned along the 9th and 18th holes of Kukui’ula’s Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course. 

“East West Partners has a proven track record of developing high quality projects in some of the world’s most desirable resort destinations and we are very excited to be joining forces with Kukui’ula,” said East West Partners Chairman and Founding Partner Harry H. Frampton III. “The Club Villas are situated just steps from the major amenity of the Kukui‘ula community, in a privileged location that offers both privacy and proximity.

Planned and designed by Hart Howerton, Duane Piper Architects and Hawaii based Laber Architects, the three and four bedroom Club Villas will be situated along the 9th and 18th holes of The Golf Club at Kukui’ula on quarter-acre home sites, with each offering a uniquely tropical setting. The homes will feature private lanais, coffered ceilings, gourmet kitchens, plunge pools, outdoor garden showers and optional interior design packages by Slifer Designs. Additionally, owners may elect to have their home placed in Kukui’ula’s Lodge Hospitality Program – the community’s newly introduced overnight lodging offering. The Club Villa homes will feature a three-bedroom and four-bedroom plan, each with a detached guest “Ohana” suite.  Construction on the first six villas will commence in early 2014 with an expected completion date early 2015.

Kukui’ula has also recently unveiled the first phase of the Club Bungalows, a collection of ten one-, two- and three-bedroom cottages built by Scott Edmunds, CSE and Associates, and designed by Jeffrey Berkus Architects. The Club Bungalows will offer contemporary interiors, expansive floor plans and exceptional views of the Pacific Ocean. Located steps away from the community’s multi-million dollar Plantation House and Spa at Kukui’ula, the Club Bungalows will provide prospective residents with another exceptional product within the Kukui’ula portfolio.

AFM: Is there anything else you'd like to add?

VL: The Club at Kukui’ula’s Lodge Hospitality Program has received a strong response since being introduced November 2012 with The Club Cottages at Kukui’ula. Operated in partnership with The Parrish Collection Kauai, eight three-bedroom cottages are available for nightly rental and guests may enjoy the amenities and services of The Club at Kukui‘ula. Once complete, The Club Villas at Kukui’ula and The Club Bungalows at Kukui’ula will be the newest additions to the Lodge Hospitality Program.
