About the Castle Hotel
Castle At Moloka'I Shores, Kaunakakai - An Echo of Old Hawaii
In an era of ceaseless modernization, Castle At Moloka'I Shores stands as a testament to a Hawaii that time has, mercifully, left relatively untouched. This oceanfront property in Kaunakakai doesn't just offer a place to stay; it provides a profound connection to the enduring spirit of the islands, preserving the heart of its landscape and lifestyle with a quiet authenticity. It has long been the definitive choice for those seeking the true essence of Molokai, offering a rare glimpse into a more serene, unhurried past.
Location
The property commands a truly unique location, embracing the edge of the Pacific on Molokai. You're afforded direct access to a pristine white sand beach, a stretch of shore perfect for quiet contemplation or leisurely strolls. The expansive lawn, meticulously maintained, leads directly to the water's edge, framing a dramatic view of the historic Kaloko'eli fishpond. On the horizon, the island of Lanai shimmers, a constant, picturesque reminder of the surrounding archipelago. While it feels wonderfully secluded, placing you at the gateway to the Kalaupapa National Historical Park and Polihua Beach, it's also conveniently located within a 15-minute drive of Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove and Ironwood Hills Golf Club, and just 2 km from Molokai Harbor and Ali'i Fishpond.

The property itself, spread across four acres of tropical landscaping, cultivates an atmosphere of aloha and serenity, allowing the natural beauty of Molokai to take center stage.
