      About Princeville

      On Kauai’s North Shore, Princeville is an extraordinarily beautiful setting. The area includes ranches, taro fields, a botanical garden, small neighborhood enclaves, and the 9,000-acre residential resort community shared with luxury hotels, vacation condos, and timeshares. On cliffs overlooking the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean, the community’s backdrop is the verdant Hanalei Valley, and beyond, three towering mountains with cascading waters carving through lush mountain vegetation into frothy pools. With such stunning natural beauty inducing a feeling of serenity, Princeville has become a truly idyllic and elegant place to experience, whether year-round or part-time.

      A unique resort community and beyond

      Ownership in the Princeville Resort at Hanalei has many descriptions: a single family home, townhouse, condo, or timeshare. All but a very few of the residences in Princeville are fee simple.

      Residences range from one-bedroom condos to six- and seven-bedroom single family homes. However, three- and four-bedroom single-family homes are more common. Many residences are purchased to use as vacation rentals.

      In 2020, the permanent resident population of Princeville was 2,127. This number also includes the homes in small enclaves and ranches beyond the Princeville at Hanalei planned community. Many of these homes are almost as spacious as the acreage they occupy, and some homes have extra acreage for horses. Life is even more undisturbed and serene here.

      A history of struggle and perseverance

      Hanalei Valley was cultivated for centuries by Hawaiians with crops such as kalo (taro), grown even today on 700 acres in the valley. The Hawaiians also built fishponds in the area; the remnants of one are in Princeville near the former St. Regis Princeville hotel, now becoming the luxuriously renovated 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.

      Hanalei was a seaport visited by many European and American ships in the early nineteenth century. However, in 1816, the Russians built two forts in the area, one in Princeville. After attempting to claim Kauai for Russia, Hawaiians expelled these Russians in 1817. In the 1830s, westerners began cattle ranches and coffee plantations in the area.

      In 1836, Captain Richard Kellett was living in “Lanihulu,” a home built on the cliff above the east side of the entrance to the Hanalei River. In the early 1850s, Kellett was deeded the house and surrounding land, and the property was handed down through generations. A newer beautiful house with its scenic lanai and serpentine palm trees overlooking Hanalei Bay becomes Emile de Becque’s plantation home in the 1958 film South Pacific. Sadly, the house and Princeville’s lone 1960s Hanalei Plantation Resort built on the property are gone. The land is vacant today except for some remaining hotel ruins, but the Hanalei Bay vista is still as stunning as it has been for centuries.

      A Scot, Robert Crichton Wyllie, a former minister in the Kingdom of Hawai’i, purchased a coffee plantation in 1853 and in 1860 named the area Princeville in honor of the young Hawaiian crown prince, Prince Albert. Wyllie said of Princeville, “I never saw such a romantically beautiful spot in all my life time.” In 1861, he turned the coffee plantation into a hopefully more profitable sugar plantation but died four years later. The plantation was sold a year after his death when his nephew, the sole heir, committed suicide.

      The plantation and its owners struggled in the ensuing years. Finally, in 1893, it became a cattle ranch with lower lands rented for rice farming. In 1919, the Lihue Plantation, another sugar cane company, bought the Princeville acreage but kept the area as ranch land. In 1968, the ranch land was sold for development, and Kauai’s first master-planned community was conceived. The luxurious Princeville Resort hotel opened in 1985. There were several owners between then and 2005 when the current owner, the Honolulu developer The Resort Group, purchased the Princeville at Hanalei planned community. It set about revitalizing the existing community and finishing development designed initially in 1969 while committed to preserving the environment and the area’s natural beauty.

      The Hollywood Connection

      Kauai’s North Shore first became a movie set with an Esther Williams film made in 1950. However, the 1958 film, South Pacific, started many moviegoers to dream about sunny sandy beaches and luminous blue waters, stunning mountain waterfalls, rainbow-filled valleys - and mysterious Bali-Hai. Today, many visitors have made the pilgrimage to this North Shore paradise because of South Pacific or one of the other fourteen movies filmed here, most recently, The Descendants. Like the song from South Pacific, the North Shore lives its haunting lyrics: “Here am I, your special island! Come to me, come to me!” It has brought many visitors to the North Shore, and many have stayed.
