The Charming Town of Koloa in the South Shore of Kauai

The classic and quaint town of Koloa stretches from Old Koloa Town to the beautiful resort area of Poipu in the South Shore of Kauai. The Tree Tunnel, a road (Maluhia Road) lined with eucalyptus trees—planted about a century ago, is the “gateway” to the Koloa/Poipu district. The Tree Tunnel still blossoms today and is always ready to receive visitors.

Koloa experienced its commercial boom around 1835 when it opened its first sugar mill. The sugar aeon opened the door to generations of immigrants that form today’s multicultural communities in Hawaii.

Along Koloa Road, delightful retail shops and restaurants now takes up the plantation buildings, however, with antique-fashioned storefronts, Old Koloa Town is able to maintain much of its old-world charm.

Poipu is also one of the most exclusive areas on the island. With a small population of under *1,000 residents (*2010 United States Census), people enjoy the close-knit community the neighborhood offers while also having open spaces to trek.
