Hale Hokuala Kauai, Curio Collection by Hilton | Opening 2026

Help shape a truly unique resort experience rooted in the authentic spirit of Kaua‘i. Opening in late 2026, Hale Hokuala Kauai—part of Hilton’s Curio Collection—will celebrate the island’s natural beauty, culture, and craftsmanship while offering guests an elevated and immersive sense of place.

Located along Kaua‘i’s famed coastline and adjacent to the award-winning Ocean Course at Hokuala, the resort will feature 210 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites, a signature restaurant and bar, and flexible meeting and event spaces. Inspired by the island’s deep connection to the land, the design blends contemporary sophistication with the warmth of Hawaiian tradition to create serene, modern retreats.

Rooted in authenticity and infused with aloha, Hale Hokuala Kauai will offer a guest experience that feels distinctly Hawaiian—and unmistakably Curio.
