APRIL 15, 2009 Ko`a Kea Hotel & Resort debuted, April 14, 2009, after an extensive multi-million dollar reconstruction. Using the footprint of the former Poipu Beach Hotel, Ko`a Kea is designed for the ultimate boutique luxury experience, offering 121 redesigned guestrooms and suites, as well as a new restaurant and luxury spa facility. The resort's unmatched proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides guests with unparalleled ocean views for an intimate and memorable Hawaiian vacation.

Renowned designer Anita Brooks (Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas and Red Rock Hotel and Casino) created a coastal refuge inspired by the essence and landscape of Hawai`i. Guests are immediately immersed in the life aquatic, as Brooks blended flavors of earth and sea to transform the boutique property into a strikingly modern hotel with a playful, yet sophisticated atmosphere.

The spacious guestrooms and suites creatively balance colors of turquoise, chocolate brown and opulent white to capitalize on the natural light afforded by striking ocean views. The windows are draped in sheer fabric, allowing the sun and sea breeze to create a light and airy beachside escape.

The new restaurant, Red Salt, is named for the island's uniquely colored salt and features a dynamic and innovative menu by Executive Chef Ronnie Sanchez, previously of the three-star Michelin rated El Bulli in Spain.

The Spa at Ko'a Kea offers an intimate sanctuary with a focus on natural and indigenous ingredients, such as seaweed, pineapple, Awapuhi root, Red Kauai clay, guava and coconut. The Spa offers a variety of services that are available inside one of the five treatment rooms, or can be arranged oceanside.

To commemorate the opening, the hotel is offering two special introductory packages:

• The "Isle See You at Poipu" package offers a reduced nightly rate of $299 (regularly $445) in a Garden View Room, exclusive of tax and resort fees, and is valid through June 30, 2009.

• he "Room with a View" package offers an upgrade at the time of booking from Garden View Room to Partial Ocean View, or Partial Ocean View to Ocean View when booked at regularly published rates starting at $445, and is valid through December 18, 2009.
