2. Discover Rustic Tranquility
An Unforgettable Retreat in Kauai's Jungle Paradise
Unwind at an extraordinary property on the breathtaking north shore of Kauai, Hawaii. Just steps away from the awe-inspiring Moloa'a Bay, this hidden gem offers more than just a pretty location. Immerse yourself in the salt-water swimming pool with a cascading waterfall, indulge in the jacuzzi, and bask in unparalleled views.
Please note, the accommodations embrace a rustic Balinese theme amidst the lush Hawaiian jungle. You'll be sharing the space with a lovely community of 14 participants and a dedicated team on site. While it may not be a luxurious 4-star option, the shared common areas and the possibility of encountering insects are all part of the unique experience. Experience refreshing island living without the need for air conditioning. Our charming accommodations are filled with the soothing island breeze that flows through the screened windows, keeping the spaces cool and comfortable. While simple and rustic, the accommodations are truly worth it for the lush greenery, stunning scenery, and serene atmosphere that will be your backdrop throughout your stay.
Embrace the chance to reconnect with nature, find tranquility, and fully immerse yourself in the wild jungle surroundings. Take a deep breath and let the vibrant sounds of the jungle come alive around you.

3. Effortless Exploration
Navigating Your Journey in Kauai's Tranquil Moloaa Bay
Experience ultimate convenience during your stay with our driver service! We'll provide transportation to and from the airport and any planned excursions through the retreat. If you prefer to explore the island at your own leisure, feel free to rent a car. Just keep in mind that island life operates at a slower pace, so be sure to plan ahead for activities and any essential items you may need. Don't miss out on the best experiences – make your arrangements in advance!
We will be staying in Moloaa Shangri La in Moloa’s Bay on the North Shore of the island. Discover a hidden gem on Kauai's Moloaa Bay - a beach that locals and a lucky few claim as their favorite on the entire island. Unlike the crowded North Shore and Poipu beaches, Moloaa Beach offers a tranquil escape with fewer crowds and stunning natural beauty.
Embrace the laid-back vibe of this locals beach, where families gather in shaded areas on weekends, and fishermen can be spotted along the shores. The beach is a well-kept secret, known mainly to visitors staying in nearby vacation rental houses.
Moloaa Beach offers the ultimate retreat for sunseekers looking to unwind and recharge. While swimming may be restricted during high surf, the protected sides of the beach provide the perfect opportunity for a refreshing dip, thanks to the sheltering embrace of a nearby reef. An idyllic haven away from the typical tourist hotspots.
Here’s an idea where we're located on the island:
