Mauna Kea Resort

Kohala Coast, Hawaii, United States

The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel boasts what locals call โ€œthe best beach on the island,โ€ with Kauna’oa Bay’s crescent of white sand and palm trees surrounding a shallow cove. The hotel, perched on a rocky outcrop, is surrounded by exotic gardens and sculptures from the Laurence S. Rockefeller collection. It features 9 tennis courts and 8 pickleball courts, some so close to the ocean that you can hear the waves. Once a visionary project by Rockefeller, the hotel remains a top-rated luxury resort, renowned for its beautiful setting and active tennis scene.

Kaunaโ€™oa Bay, considered one of Hawaii's finest resort beaches, forms a perfect crescent below the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. The resort features the 18-hole Mauna Kea Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., known for its elevation changes and scenic oceanfront third hole, alongside access to the award-winning Hapuna Golf Course. Guests can enjoy a fitness center with cardio and LifeFitness equipment, along with spa treatments available at the Tennis Garden, under kiawe trees by the ocean, or in-room. Dining options include Manta, offering locally sourced seafood and an award-winning wine list, and the newly renovated Copper Bar with craft beers, cocktails, and bay views

The resort offers 252 rooms and suites overlooking a crescent-shaped beach, with rates varying by size and view.
