A wave of change is rolling into Turtle Bay Resort! Multi-million dollar re-styling projects are underway at the main hotel. Our renovation, which began in early January, is scheduled to be completed by the 3rd quarter of 2013 and includes all of the 840-acre resort’s 397 standard and premium guest rooms and hallways; Spa Luana and fitness center; two restaurants; as well as improvements to the main building roof and lobby area.
One extremely important aspect of this restyling is that it will be completed in phases to minimize impact on guests, with little disruption expected in public or exterior areas of the resort. Guest rooms will be renovated one wing at a time, and the affected restaurants will be upgraded at separate times to ensure a selection of dining options is available.
Our guestrooms are getting major face lifts that will reflect the energetic pulse of the ocean as well as the laid-back vibe of the Fabled North Shore.
The enhancements are led by award-winning Honolulu-based firm WCIT Architecture and include all-new fixtures, furnishings, bedding and décor in the guest rooms, as well as completely remodeled bathrooms with new tile, vanities, and walk-in showers.
“The guest rooms will be redesigned to have a contemporary, beach-house feel, authentic to the North Shore,” said interior designer Lisa-Maria Priester of WCIT Architecture. “Typically, a Hawaiian home is light and airy, done in a neutral palette because with scenery like we have here, especially on the North Shore, the accents are the views. As with our design of the recent lobby renovation, the new guest rooms will inspire a casual, hip sophistication with subtle accents of island and Hawaiian motifs custom designed exclusively for Turtle Bay Resort.”
Our full-service Spa will nearly double in size to 11,000 square feet, which will include the creation of a movement studio for popular wellness programs such as Zumba and yoga; the relocation of the fitness center from the ground floor to the lobby-level Sunset Room, which will allow for 
expansive ocean views from all-new fitness equipment; as well as an expanded salon; reception and retail area; and women’s locker room. Three open-air treatment rooms will be added, and two single treatment rooms will be converted into one larger indoor couples treatment area. These exciting renovations began Monday, January 7th and the grand re-opening is scheduled for April.
Two of the resort’s premier restaurants – Palm Terrace/Leonardo’s and 21 Degrees North – will be completely renovated in the spirit of their new menus, with natural décor and lighting, wood accents and the cool blues and greens of the nearby ocean and farmland. At Palm Terrace/Leonardo’s, the enhanced menu will feature locally sourced cusine as part of a farm-to-table focus that incorporates the rich agricultural history of the North Shore. Guests will be able to choose from a “farmer’s market” of fresh vegetables, fruits and dressings; as well as premium meats and seafood with sauces inspired by Hawaii-sourced flavors such as macadamia nuts, pineapple and coconut. 21 Degrees North will highlight Hawaii’s abundant array of fresh seafood, with a customizable menu including a mix-and-match approach of sauces, side dishes and cooking styles. New décor will feature an ocean theme.
The renovation project in the Palm Terrace began on January 14th with a la carte breakfast service provided in 21 Degrees North during this time. The 21 Degrees North renovation project is scheduled to begin March 18th.
