About Poipu
  • Poipu is a tourism centered area of Kauai, but has retained much of its local feel & Hawaiian heritage. Preserved Ancient Hawaiian sites and celebrations of the plantation past are important foundations of the community.
     
  • The beaches and surrounding scenery made it a desirable place to not only visit, but live. However, the development did not accelerate until the 1980s.
     
  • Much, but not all, of Poipu is a Visitor Destination Area, allowing owners to rent their homes on a vacation rental basis.
