Top 5 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Poipu, Hawaii (HI)
Kauai’s South Shore is home to some of the country’s best beaches—for swimming, diving and all sorts of water sports. If sunbathing on a gorgeous beach isn’t relaxing enough, try a spa (where many treatments incorporate local ingredients). And if you’re in Poipu for a romantic escape, splurge on an oceanview room—the sunsets are spectacular.

My husband and I had the opportunity to take yoga with Antonia twice during our stay at the Koloa Landing resort. We’ve both done a fair amount of yoga and thought she was a great teacher. The class was just what I wanted. A little bit of sweat, a little bit of stretch, and I left refreshed and ready to take on the day. My husband thought it left him feeling better than the massage he had earlier in the trip! Class is every Tuesday and Thursday at the resort (outside when weather permits) and is complimentary as a guest of the hotel.

Fantastic facial from Maureen. My skin has never looked better. I have been to other lovely spas but this was the best. A friend had a body scrub and she also raved about her services. The two ladies who had massages were quite. Intent as well.

We ate here as sushi is one of our favorite dinners out. We were impressed. The menu choices were great, with several specialty rolls. We particularly liked the blackrock roll (seared ahi with tempura shrimp) and shipwreck (fresh salmon, eel, avocado). Of note, they use ocean eel instead of freshwater eel (anago vs unagi), but from our perspective it was essentially the same. The drinks menu is similarly great, with some interesting twists on typical drinks. The mango martini and samurai mule were both good.
