World-Renowned Collection of Resorts and Courses Offer Unforgettable Experiences
(KAUA’I, Hawaii) – Lush greens. Brilliant yellows. Fiery reds. Peaceful blues.
These are the primary colors at the soul-stirring core of the paradise that is Hawai’i. The islands are a cornucopia of color and other sensory delights.
Nowhere is this more evident and abundant than on the island of Kaua’i where time slows and the senses heighten.
Whether one is breathing in the flowery fragrances which kiss the trade windsâ?¦ watching fluffy white clouds ride the trade winds and dot the brilliant blue skyâ?¦ standing on blazingly green fairways adjacent to lush, forested mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean’s turquoise watersâ?¦ one is inundated with the abundance of sensual sights, sounds and fragrances which color the island.
Kaua’i offers more than 50 miles of white sand beaches – more beach per mile than any other island in Hawai’i. The combination of rural beauty and great golf options are increasingly being recognized by travelers worldwide, and it is something the Kaua’i Visitors Bureau is promoting via a Hawai’i Visitors & Convention Bureau promotional campaign launched last week.
The promotion focuses on storytelling as a means of promoting the human side of Hawai’i. The new initiative includes GoHawaii videos featuring Hawai’i’s people sharing stores of the islands and the unique experiences that await visitors. Visit http://gohawaii.turnhere.com to view the videos.
Puakea, Poipu Bay, Kaua’i Lagoons and Princeville combine to offer 108 holes of scintillating golf on Kaua’i. Three of these properties are with renowned resorts – Poipu Bay with the Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa, Kaua’i Lagoons with Kaua’i Marriott Resort & Beach Club and Princeville Golf Courses with Princeville Hotel.
"Kaua’i holds a special ambiance that golfers love," said KVB Executive Director Sue Kanoho. "Being immersed in this incredibly beautiful setting is a wonderful escape for them and one they never forget."
Among other attributes, Kaua’i "best-of" courses and resorts are routinely honored for their course conditioning, food, accommodations, practice facilities, being women and junior player friendly, pro shops, and for being scenic and "storied."
