When it comes to luxury vacations on the sandy beaches of San Juan, La Union, there’s one name that always comes to mind: Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa.
The only four star resort in San Juan, Kahuna rests on one of the most scenic spots in the surfing destination, boasting 40 well-appointed Balinese-inspired accommodations by the beach, and a roster of world-class facilities that collectively earned it the Certificate of Excellence Award by Tripdvisor.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect from a stay in Kahuna.
Rooms
Kahuna’s collection of garden and pool villas, suites, and rest house are infused with Balinese and Filipino design, using native materials and white stucco walls.
Types of rooms:
Standard Garden Rooms (25) –the most basic type of rooms. These rooms are surrounded by manicured gardens and are all fitted with a minibar, safety deposit box, en suite bathroom, queen size bed, and a private patio. One room can accommodate 2 persons, but families or friends traveling together may request the Duplex Garden Rooms.
Deluxe Pool View Rooms (4) – although similar to the Standard Garden in amenities, these beautiful rooms afford guests an unbridled view of the ocean and the infinity pool. 2
Bedroom Ocean View Suite (1) – this two-bedroom suite rests on the beachfront and has its own beach access. One room has a king-size bed, the other a queen. This, along with a Balinese bathroom, makes it the perfect choice for discerning families and friends.
Ocean View Suites – these beachfront suites offer guests privacy and prime spot on the beach. Each has two queen-size beds, en suite bathroom, a minibar, and a private patio with swimming pool, sundeck, and BBQ grill shared with other Ocean View and Premier Suites.
Family Suites – big enough to accommodate a family of 4, these suites are built with two queen-size beds, a family lounge, minibar, and a patio area.
The Rest House – for those in craving utmost privacy, the Rest House is an excellent choice. This stunning rest house consists of three bedroom – including a Master’s bedroom with a beautiful private balcony – with a separate bathroom each. The house has its own Jacuzzi, a full kitchen and dining area, and family living room.
