Welcome to Tropical Bamboo Hideaway! A villa so unique it has been featured several times in the media since it built 2 years ago!
OUR AVAILABILITY CHANGES QUICKLY, SO PLEASE LOOK AT THE WEBSITE or call Linda at 310.339.6343.
Pristine Beach: You can see it on the photo with the shell beach.
Walk out of the villa, across the little back road and you are on pristine white sand gazing at the blue azure water of the Pacific Ocean. Look across to your left at Bali Hai (made famous in the movie, South Pacific). One of the truly romantic places on Kauai, you can walk along the beach collecting shells, swim and snorkel amongst the fish on the reef or just laze under the palm trees. Heavenly! The children can play in the rock pools and wonder at the whales playing in the deep water.
Some guests have said it has a "Swiss Family Robinson" feel. There is a small stream running along the back of the home and when you up in our Villa, you are perched the trees!
We also have a little bench in front of the creek below for your meditation.
Although so close to the beach, our villa backs against the tropical green of Kauai’s fabled lush landscape. A true hideaway and getaway from the daily routine. You won’t want to leave!
Exotic and unique Bamboo Villa:
Our first guests described the villa as exotic and they are right! The whole villa was imported from Vietnam and is entirely made of bamboo. It feels as though you are stepping back to some earlier time when life was simpler, buildings were made from the materials at hand and harmony with nature was the way and yet this Bamboo Hideaway is exotic, yet has pristine modern amenities.
Luxury
Simple luxury is coupled with practicality. We have granite in the kitchen, all appliances and an ambience that will keep you relaxing inside as much as on the beach. The kitchen is stocked for cooking, try the farmer's market on Tuesdays for fruit and vegetables that are out of this world. The living room is light with so many windows, as are the bedrooms. The wraparound deck stretches around the entire villa making outside living as attractive as inside. Sit on the lanai and gaze at the ocean or the lush tropical green of the plants. As you sip your morning coffee or that evening drink, the smell of the exotic flowers mingles with the scent of the ocean - yes you are in the tropics!
Na Pali Coast 5 minutes away;
The fabled Na Pali Coast has celebrated for years. The magnificent 3000 feet high emerald green cliffs above the Pacific: the waterfalls cascading down in to the azure water. It’s quite a place. Take a boat trip, kayak in the Summer, hike the trail into the famous Kalalau valley this is one of Kauai’s most prized places. From the Villa to the Na Pali, try all the beaches along the way: Haena where the waves are fun, Tunnels where you can look at the "tunnels" created by ancient lava and see many sea creatures and Ke’e, where you can snorkel with the Turtles.
Supreme Location for Hanalei & Activities;
Hanalei is the prettiest town on the island. Some of you may be familiar with "Puff the Magic Dragon" who lives by the sea in a town called Hanalee (they had to change the last letter to make it rhyme!). Hanalei Bay is famous the world over - the gorgeous half moon bay where you can swim, boogie board and surf perfect for lovers and families alike! Hanalei Town is full of quaint boutiques and great restaurants. Watch for movie stars.
Activities abound (see our amenities / activities page). You can paraglide and windsurf right on your own beach, take the Na Pali boat trip, hike the Na Pali, surf, snorkel, scuba dive.
Welcome to our Home - we hope you enjoy your stay!

Why the Owner Chose Haena
The first time I came to Kauai I cried.. I just feel free there. We built this home out of bamboo because it was the only thing that looked right. It complements the lush surroundings.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
THE SOFT WIND, THE SMELL AND SOUND OF THE OCEAN, THE SWAYING OF THE TREES, I CAN RELAX AND LET GO OF STRESS.
HAENA IS SLOW MOVING, NO GOLF COURSES, NOT MANY PEOPLE. SLOW.WE HAVE SURFERS,HIKERS,MUSICIANS, BIRD WATCHERS YES! GOOD HEALTHY FOOD, YES! AND THE FARMERS MARKET.I ENJOY SOME GOOD RAW CUISINE AND REST. I WORK VERY HARD AND MY HAWAIIAN HOME SLOWS ME DOWN, EASILY.
Owner's Map of Haena
Hello everyone,this is my dream house. My husband Richard, my oldest son Peter and I built this house. Oh,I forgot to mention we are licensed contractors. We altered a kit home from Bamboo technologies in Maui and it was farmed from bamboo in Vietnam. it is well built, gorgeous and more sturdy than structural steel, after all many bamboo homes in the east have been there for more than 3 centuries! Richard is a Coppersmith as well as a architectural metal designer, he built the stairs and made the gorgeous copper gutters.
It is a peaceful and beautiful place.
