Shops at Kukuiʻula

Poʻipu


A cluster of plantation-style wooden buildings, this upscale shopping mall is conveniently located at the Po‘ipu roundabout. As well as a dozen generally high-end restaurants and food outlets, it holds a handful of galleries, some big-name clothing boutiques – check out the classy aloha wear at Tori Richard – and a beach-rentals outlet, Po‘ipu Surf. There’s a Longs Drugs store alongside.
