We chose Emmalani Court because of its unique Hawaiian charm, and close proximity to the best beaches on Kauai. It boasts a short 10 minute walk and hike to Hideaway Beach, for snorkeling, and a 10 minute drive to beautiful Hanalei Bay, a crescent shaped, white, sandy beach, best known for its calm summer waters, perfect for swimming, stand up paddle boarding, and the best nightly sunsets on the island. Queen's Bath is a short distance away and is one of the most unique hikes and experience on the island -- a perfect location for spotting sea turtles.
