Activities

Waimea Plantation Cottages offers a range of relaxed, low-key on-site diversions including an oceanfront outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs and a covered cabana, a children’s pool, hammocks strung across the grounds, a shuffleboard and sand volleyball court, propane barbecue grill stations, and board games and children’s games. Guests can also stroll the garden and picnic area, borrow titles from the property’s lending library, or pick up beach towels and umbrellas for a day by the water.

Yes, Waimea Plantation Cottages features one oceanfront outdoor swimming pool complete with lounge chairs and a shaded cabana, plus a separate children’s pool. The pool is a simple, resort-style pool rather than a water-park setup, so there is no hot tub, slides, or swim-up bar on-site. Guests do walk across the grassy lawn from their cottage to reach the pool and beach, as there is no direct parking beside either.

While staying at Waimea Plantation Cottages, guests can arrange snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing and bodyboarding, windsurfing, sailing, and parasailing nearby, along with boat tours and fishing right on site. For a bigger thrill, skydiving is also available nearby. The property itself fronts a dramatic black-sand beach, and beach towels and umbrellas are provided for lounging between excursions.

Yes, Waimea Plantation Cottages welcomes both couples on romantic getaways and families on vacations, reunions and celebrations. On-site children’s games and a dedicated children’s pool give younger guests plenty to do, while spacious multi-bedroom plantation cottages give families room to spread out together. Guests traveling with small children should note that lanais, patios and other outdoor spaces may warrant extra caution, and are welcome to contact the property in advance with any questions.

Guests at Waimea Plantation Cottages are just about fifteen minutes from the entrance to Waimea Canyon, the 14-mile-long, 3,600-foot-deep ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific.’ Continuing up the same road leads to Kokee State Park, the Kalalau Lookout over lush Kalalau Valley, and the Puu Hinahina Lookout, which offers views toward the island of Niihau. Closer to the cottages, the wide white sands of Kekaha Beach are just a five-minute drive away.
