About the Job
THE CLUB AT KUKUI`ULA
Our name "Kukui`ula" is the place name of our location on Kauai's southern shore, near world-famous Poipu Beach. Kukui`ula comes from two Hawaiian words: kukui, or candlenut - a traditional Hawaiian source for lighting oil - and 'ula, which means "red". In ancient Kauai, Kukui`ula served as a place to burn the kukui nut oil at night, its red glow guiding seafarers safely back to shore.
Just as in ancient times, modern-day Kukui`ula is a place that draws you in. It's a place for our club members and guests to come back home to, to recharge, reset and live well.
Presenting a mixture of extraordinary offerings, luxurious amenities, and down-to-earth comforts in a world-class environment that embodies heartfelt Hawaiian hospitality, The Club at Kukui`ula is the recreational centerpiece of the Kukui`ula community. Featuring the Plantation House's 'Umeke Kitchen & Bar, Makai Pool Grill & Bar, Hi'ilani Spa & Fitness, Huaka'i Outfitters island activities, Upcountry Farm, and 18-hole seashore paspalum Golf Course designed by noted golf course architect Tom Weiskopf.
