On the eastern shores of Kauai Island lies a botanical haven for romance and comfort in the home-away condos of Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa. Whether you’re on assignment for you next swim shoot or taking a seasonal sabbatical from the fast paced fashion scene,  steal away to one of the more relaxing islands of the Hawaiian landscape where there’s a picture perfect post card moment to fill the memory cards of your PDA or smart phone (but you’re on vacation so put that thing away).

The rich interior finishes of each condominium unit are elegantly defined with luxe Indonesian wood furnishings and Old World Peruvian stone flooring.  The kitchens are well equipped with stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf convection ovens, Golden Honey onyx backsplashes, and sleek granite countertops.

As you journey around the resort, soak up some sun next to the heated soft-water river pool which stretches over two acres and includes ravine water slides and three sand-bottom whirlpool spas with guest controlled temperature gauges. As day turns to night, landscaped walking paths are well lit for a nightly stroll along the shore.

The surrounding community of Kapaa offers small-town charm and likely conveniences to your getaway budget spending on track. Kauai Village shopping center is just minutes away from a grocery or drug store, popular coffee houses, creameries, and juice.  Coconut Market Place is within walking distance with extended options for shopping, dining and cinema features. Nearby there’s the Wailua Golf Course or Makai Courses, a popular public links for the traveling sportsman.

Kauai, nicknamed the Garden Island, is green and flourishing with plants and flowers that extend from the mountains to the ocean. Kauai offers more than 50 miles of white sand beaches – more sandy terrain per mile than any other island in Hawaii. Other natural wonders include the 3,567-foot deep Waimea Canyon, dubbed "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," and the 3,000-foot towering mountain cliffs overlooking the Napali Coast along the northwest shoreline.

A wealth of outdoor activities like kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, mountain tubing, horseback riding, ATV adventures, zip line aerial tours, helicopter and boat tours, offer unforgettable vacation experiences for traveling singles, couples, and families alike!
