The Pride of Kauai's Golden Age

It was a time of grandeur and elegance when guests arrived in horse drawn carriages. On Kauai, sugar was king, and the prosperity it brought was reflected in the mansions built by the sugar plantation known as Kilohana. Built in 1935, the manor house at Kilohana was to be the most expensive and most beautiful home ever built on Kauai. Designed by British architect Mark Potter, it was filled with beautiful furniture from Gump's of San Francisco. Outside, exquisitely landscaped grounds framed the elegant house perfectly in it's picturesque mountain setting.

Today, Kilohana is a shoppers paradise with quality stores tucked into rooms of the main house and guest and camp houses of the estate. You'll find a wide array of fine art crafts, fashions, jewelry, food and gifts of Hawaii.

When you visit Kilohana, you can imagine plantation life as it truly was. Linger over the magnificent artwork and antiques of the Tudor-style mansion. Wander the 35 acres, rich with exotic plants and gardens, and dotted with century-old plantation cottages. Finally, savor the experiences that are yours at Kilohana today: Gaylord's Courtyard Restaurant, unparalleled shopping, and a romantic ride around the grounds and surrounding sugar plantation.

Enjoy the beautifully restored grounds, 36 acres, by taking a carriage ride through the old Kilohana Camp where you will find restored plantation homes, fruit, vegetable and flower gardens. Make sure to bring your camera and an extra roll of film.
