I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'resort' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'prepared kiwi kai' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kiwi'+'kai'='kiwikai'
'kiwikai' anagrammed gives 'WAIKIKI'.

Can you help me to learn more?
