Overview
Nestled in the heart of Princeville on Kauai’s North Shore, Mala Hale is a spacious three-bedroom retreat designed for relaxation, connection, and a true sense of island life. With vaulted ceilings, lush garden and mountain views, and inviting outdoor living spaces, this single-level home offers comfort and style just minutes from beaches, golf, and the charm of Hanalei.
Property Highlights
- Open-concept living room with soaring ceilings and wide windows framing tropical gardens
- Upgraded kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bar seating
- Primary suite with private hot tub courtyard and walk-in closet

- Prime Princeville location near beaches, golf, shopping, and dining
Birdsong drifts through open windows before the trade winds pick up for the day, the first thing most guests notice at Mala Hale, set back in a garden near Princeville's North Shore beaches. The single-level home spreads three bedrooms across white-beamed ceilings and tile floors, with a private courtyard hot tub off the primary suite and a lanai built for slow mornings. Three bedrooms on one level suit families or multigenerational groups without a stair in sight.
What You'll Love About Mala Hale
• Vaulted white-beamed ceilings and a wall of windows fill the living room with green, garden light
• Dining table for six under a modern chandelier, sliding doors open straight to the lanai
• Primary suite with a soaking tub, walk-in closet, and a private courtyard hot tub of its own
• A bar-seating kitchen island built for cooking as much as for gathering around it
• A short walk to Pu'u Poa Beach and Hideaways Beach, two of the North Shore's most scenic stretches
Living & Dining
Greenery presses in through a wall of windows here, plush seating and a smart TV gathering everyone in for a movie night, or nobody at all when the lanai wins out instead. Dinner for six fits easily under the chandelier, sliding doors already open to the evening air.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
Large windows keep the kitchen sunlit and the garden close, stainless appliances and a bar-seating island doing the real work behind the view. It's built for real cooking: morning smoothies, grilled catch, a glass of wine while dinner comes together.
The Lanai and Garden Yard
The covered lanai and its private garden yard become the busiest room of the house by evening, furniture already arranged for a barbecue dinner, tropical landscaping crowding the edges with color and fragrance. Birdsong picks up again around dusk, right on cue.

Nearby
On foot, Pu'u Poa Beach and Hideaways Beach are two of the North Shore's most scenic stretches, with the Princeville Makai Golf Course, jogging path, restaurants, and shopping center close by. A short drive covers Hanalei and Kilauea: surfing, kayaking the Hanalei River, local boutiques, and Kilauea Lighthouse. Lihue Airport (LIH) sits on the other side of the island.
Good to Know
• A mandatory mid-stay cleaning applies to stays of 10 nights or longer, with a second added for stays of 21 nights or longer; separate from the departure cleaning fee charged at booking, and scheduled directly by our team.
• Gnats are more common in lush areas during winter months; keeping doors closed and screens in use helps minimize them.

Most days end the same way at Mala Hale: sliding doors open, garden humming, and someone already easing into the courtyard hot tub before dinner's even on the table.

- Mala Hale was a wonderful Princeville base for our Kauai vacation. The beds are comfortable, the space spotless, and everything you need for enjoying the area (bikes, boards, chairs, coolers, etc.) is provided. The backyard garden is an incredible lush space to relax in at the end of the day. This place is a real gem.John O'Connor
