Later this year, the south shore of Kauai will host the Matthew Kenney Wellness Retreat, led by celebrity chef, author and educator Matthew Kenney. Renowned worldwide for his expertise in plant-based cuisine, Kenney is collaborating with the resort’s wellness director, Jacyn Fain, to design a holistic program focused on balance, wellbeing and sustainable, health-centered living.
Kenney, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, has received recognition from the James Beard Foundation and earned acclaim from Food & Wine Magazine as one of America’s Best New Chefs. At the retreat, participants will enjoy farm-to-table dinners created in partnership with Kukui’ula’s Chef Ben Takahashi, restorative yoga and meditation sessions, personalized nutritional coaching, and an array of fresh, plant-based dishes that highlight the islands’ abundant fruits and vegetables. The resort will announce retreat dates and booking details on its website.
