Aloha Zen Retreat | Spacious & Tranquil Haven in Princeville, Kauaʻi

Steps from the center

Walk to Princeville Center

Known as the Gateway to the North Shore, Princeville Center is the heart of town, open daily, and you can stroll there. Stock the kitchen at Foodland, with its deli, bakery, fresh seafood and pharmacy, and pick up wine at Princeville Wine Market.

When you’d rather not cook, there’s plenty of choice: B’s Kitchen and Bar 56, Lotus Garden Chinese & Thai, Tiki Iniki for a cocktail, coffee at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and ice cream at Lappert’s Hawaii. Between meals, browse shops selling clothing, jewelry, gifts and souvenirs, and handle errands at the bank, salon or post office.

Gather like a local

Princeville Community Center

The community center sits in Prince Albert Park, a seven-acre green at the entrance to Princeville. The park has a children’s playground, an outdoor fitness circuit and a big open lawn for a morning stretch, a picnic or a game of catch.

It’s also where neighbors gather for community events and a Saturday-morning farmers market, so you can pick up island fruit and flowers.

All within walking distance

Groceries, dinner, the night market, the park: leave the car parked and stroll. When you’re done, come back to quiet gardens, birdsong and papayas ripening in the yard.
