The former Princeville Resort has contemporary island design, and interiors that reflect its "stunning setting" on Hanalei Bay. Kauai Grill highlights a curated selection of Jean-Georges Vongrichten's signature dishes such as crispy onaga. The 11,000-square-foot Halele'a Spa, which translates as House of Joy, uses Hawaiian healing traditions and organic Voya products from Ireland. Service is "all-around excellent."
