The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
62-100 Mauna Kea Beach Drive Kohala Coast Hotel


The Mauna Kea Resort was the vision and dream of respected hotelier Laurance S. Rockefeller more than 30 years ago. In what proved to be one of the most visionary decisions in the history of modern tourism, he chose a patch of black lava in an inaccessible area with two beautiful beaches to create a work of art that gave the Big Island of Hawaii a resort destination of legendary proportions.

Rockefeller envisioned a resort of world-class standards -- complete with hotels, golf courses and homes. The first step in making Rockefeller's dream a reality was the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel features 310 ample guest rooms, including ten luxurious suites, each with a private lanai (balcony). The open-air architectural design and natural wood interiors give each room a feeling of spaciousness while being enveloped in a sense of serenity and elegance.

Eighteen holes of play at the Mauna Kea Golf Course sport panoramic ocean vistas, prompting Golf Digest to proclaim it the "number one golf course in Hawaii." One of the course's most dramatic features is the famous Third Hole, where surging Pacific inlet waters race to meet the rocky shoreline, creating one of the most photographed landscapes in golf today.

Reciprocal signing privileges at nearby Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel double a guests' options.

Accommodations

Situated on 60 landscaped oceanfront acres, the "Grand Dame" of the Kohala Coast has undergone a complete restoration and reopened in 1995. The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel continues its proud tradition of hospitality and Aloha that was introduced by Laurance Rockefeller when he built the hotel more than 30 years ago.

Guest Rooms: The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel features 310 ample guest rooms, including ten luxurious suites, each with a private lanai (balcony). The open-air architectural design and natural wood interiors give each room a feeling of spaciousness while being enveloped in a sense of serenity and elegance.

Each guest room offers:

  • Private lanai
  • Refrigerator
  • Two Japanese yukatas (robes)
  • Two pairs of indoor slippers
  • Television
  • Nightly turn down service
Amenities

Arriving at the Mauna Kea Resort is like coming home, even if you've never been there before. Most returning guests are greeted by old friends -- the same warm, kind and caring staff who have been greeting the same guests by name, year after year.

Recreation

 There's so much to see and experience at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. You can be busy from morning until night or, if you choose, you can relax and soak in the rays on the shores of Kauna'oa Bay--selected as # 1 Beach in America and # 5 in the world in March 2001 by The Travel Channel.

The following activities are available:

Water Sports

In addition to the freshwater pools and poolside whirlpools at both Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, guests may enjoy the white sands of Kauna'oa Bay or Hapuna Beach. Kauna'oa Bay was rated as # 1 beach in America in 2001 and # 5 in the World by The Travel Channel, and # 1 in America in 1993 by Condé Nast Traveler.

Activities also include swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, catamaran riding, whale watching and deep-sea fishing.

Tennis

Mauna Kea Resort's award-winning oceanside Tennis Park, located on the grounds of Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, features 13 Plexipave courts, a state-of-the-art video training facility, an open-air lanai (patio) with breathtaking ocean views of the Pacific, and a Pro Shop with full selection of the prestigious resort's logo apparel. Open daily 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Helicopter Flight-Seeing

Mauna Kea Resort is the only Kohala resort with its own helipad on property. Sunshine Helicopters owns and operates a fleet of six "Black Beauties" equipped with five video cameras and cushioned, virtually soundproof comfort. Activity desks at both hotels make sign up easy whether you want to see Kilauea Volcano to the South or the lush valleys to the east and everything in between.

Stargazing

The sky is so consistently clear over Kohala that even in midmorning, the moon can still be seen hanging over the ocean. Stargazing is one of the most popular activities available at nearby Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. A high-powered telescope is set up three nights a week. While guests view constellations, galaxies and planets, an astronomer shares his knowledge of the wonders of the universe.

Miscellaneous

Guests may also enjoy hiking and jogging, as well as the many historical attractions provided by the Big Island's surrounding areas. And don't miss trying your hand at the resort's two world-class golf courses: Hapuna Golf Course and Mauna Kea Golf Course. A complimentary inter-resort shuttle is available three times per hour for transportation between Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.

Kids Activities

Mauna Kea Resort offers younger guests a "cool" place to enjoy days of fun under the sun. While you relax by the pools or beaches, or play a challenging game of golf at the renowned Mauna Kea or Hapuna golf courses, your children can take part in a wide variety of programs including:

  • Hawaiian arts and crafts
  • Pole fishing
  • T-shirt painting
  • Pool swims
  • Beach treasure/scavenger hunts

It's all part of Mauna Kea Resort's year-round kids program for children from 5 to 12 years of age.

Age-appropriate activities are designed by program counselors to both entertain and educate the children about the culture, arts and crafts, and music of Hawaii. Excursions such as pole fishing and beachcombing let them experience aspects of the Island's lifestyle. The program also incorporates elements of another very popular hotel family amenity, the Kids Club.

Full and half-day sessions are available to families seven days a week.

  • The half-day program is $25 and runs from 9 a.m. to noon daily.
  • The all-day session is $50 and goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Lunch is included with the full-day schedule.
