Costco Star Rating

4.5 Star Hotel
62-100 Mauna Kea Beach Dr, Kohala Coast - Hawaii, HI, 96743, United States

As founder of The Mauna Kea in 1965, Laurance S. Rockefeller said it with style when he claimed "Every great beach deserves a great hotel". He also recognized that the beautiful beach at Kauna'oa deserved spectacular golf and exceptional dining to accompany one of the most exclusive resorts of it's day. Six decades and a $240 million renovation later, the hotel once again reigns as a landmark of elegance on the dazzling Kohala Coast.

Hotel Details

Overview

Hotel Description

Celebrating six decades since its 1965 debut, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel stands as an enduring icon of refined island hospitality on Hawai'i Island's coveted Kohala Coast. Designed by Laurance S. Rockefeller, the resort's recent renovation thoughtfully refreshed the Main Tower and Beachfront Wing guestrooms, public spaces, restaurants, and pools, introducing a new oceanfront adults-only infinity pool, an enhanced family pool experience, and a state-of-the-art Fitness Center —each reinforcing the hotel's quiet, architectural elegance.

Mauna Kea Luau

:

Set against the glow of a Kohala Coast sunset, it's an evening of storytelling through music, food, and dance, a tradition that's been ongoing since 1965. Hawaiian steel guitars and the sound of surf set the stage. Tables are piled high with kālua pig, island fish, lomi lomi salmon, sashimi, and mountains of pineapple and papaya. It's an evening of sheer delight, teaching your keiki the joy of finger-licking poi, dancing hula to the "hukilau," and being moved by the thrill of a powerful fire dance.
