Condé Nast Travels just named Kaua’i one of the 8 Best Destinations in the World: The 2021 Gold List.  We are so proud of our island and thrilled to be included in this amazing list of amazing destinations!  

Condé Nast goes on to say “In this year’s incarnation, we went beyond places to stay, including a range of experiences we consider truly exceptional—cruises, flights, restaurants, bars, destinations—along with the deeply personal reasons why we love them. This was the stuff we daydreamed about in lockdown, and a few places we were actually able to visit”
