Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens and Sculpture Park

Na 'Āina Kai — "Lands by the Sea" — is a 240-acre non-profit botanical garden, sculpture park, and hardwood plantation set on the North Shore of Kauai in Kīlauea, Hawaii. The estate was established by Joyce and Ed Doty beginning in 1979 and opened to the public as a non-profit in 1999. Thirteen distinct gardens, a moss- and fern-draped canyon, a hardwood plantation, meadows, and a pristine sandy beach make up the grounds, which are threaded throughout with more than 200 bronze sculptures — one of the largest private collections in the country. For private events and weddings, Na 'Āina Kai offers a range of settings across the estate, from an intimate Hardwood Forest canopy and the tranquil Ka'ula Lagoon to the Seaside area with its manicured lawn and ocean-view Lotus Meadow. The former founders' home, known as The Residence, overlooks Kahili Beach and provides an elegantly appointed interior with a large living and dining room, ocean-view lanai, and a full kitchen suited to catering. The venue accommodates gatherings of up to 150 guests.
