WELCOME TO MAUNA LANI | An oceanfront haven steeped in Hawaiian culture
Read moreShow less
Nestled along the dramatic Kohala Coast and in the piko, or center, of five great mountains, Mauna Lani is a sacred oasis where generations of families and friends have made memories together on soulful lands once cherished by the greatest of Hawaiian royalty. Greet the morning sun as it rises above the mountains’ peaks from the seat of an outrigger canoe. Talk story with friends old and new at the Great Lawn as the sounds of ocean waves and laughter mingle. Dine amongst the company of loved ones at CanoeHouse, where locals have savored the island’s bounty for decades. As you walk this storied coastline, breathe the rejuvenating salt air and swim in the crystalline waters, you feel the same mana, or spiritual energy, that first captivated legends like King Kamehameha I and Francis H. I’i Brown.
Immerse Yourself
Dream of snorkeling above fish-filled reefs or stargazing atop the snow-capped peak of Mauna Kea? Why not drop in on a jam session of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated slack-key guitarists? Just about anything is possible at Mauna Lani, where the passionate team offers unrivaled access to Hawai‘i’s natural and cultural treasures. Start your day with beachside yoga or a peloton ride in the resort’s state-of-the-art gym. Wind up at Mauna Lani’s top-ranked golf courses, then wind down at the signature spa. Hike to an ancient petroglyph site after playing a few rounds of kōnane (Hawaiian checkers) at the Hale ‘I‘ike Cultural Center. Help measure young honu (sea turtles) before releasing them back into the sea—you can’t help but fall in love. The Holoholo Kids Crew invites the resort’s youngest guests on epic explorations of the coast, gardens, and star-speckled night skies.
The Surf Shack
Adventures begin and end at the Surf Shack. Inspired by Hawai’i’s iconic surf dens of yesteryear, the Surf Shack is a place of comradery and connectivity, linking Mauna Lani’s white sand beach to the Great Lawn, where family and friends of all ages unearth youth in the form of nostalgic childhood games while marveling wondrously at the ever changing colors of the Hawaiian sunset. Grab your gear, talk story with friends old and new, and ponder the adventures that await as our pro watermen and women prime your journey with ancient Hawaiian wisdom and tales of their ancestors. And after you’ve experienced the inspiring ways of Kainalu, kick back, relax and reflect on the invaluable memories you’ve made as you savor fresh ahi poke and the sounds of live, local musicians.
