Experience the Island of Hawaii Four Ways at Mauna Kea Resort & Residences

It’s hard to find one destination that meets the needs and desires of every kind of traveler—whether it’s someone who wants to lay on the beach with their favorite book, go on a challenging hike, eat at premier restaurants, or spend the days away at the spa. For the perfect spot for every travel personality, look no further than Mauna Kea Resort & Residences, the historic retreat on the Island of Hawaii.

  • For a Couples’ Retreat: The historic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is ideal for a quiet couples’ retreat, with programming geared specifically toward couples, such as its new Romantic Dinners, which includes the Sunset Aha’aina experience, an intimate private dinner with breathtaking views that is prime for proposals, anniversaries, and honeymoons. At any one of five prime outdoor venues including the 3rd Tee at Mauna Kea Golf Course on black lava overlooking a quiet cove, guests can indulge in a private four-course dinner and wine pairing, with optional add-ons including a personalized bottle of La Marca Prosecco, handcrafted cocktails, professional photography, and live entertainment by a solo guitarist. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s spa also offers private couples’ massages, transformative Manta Ray Moonlight Swims, a VIP Heli experience that takes passengers to the Island’s most stunning waterfalls, and more.
  • For the Family with Kiddos: Westin Hapuna Beach Resort is tucked away along the rugged Kohala Coast and sits adjacent to the #1 Beach in America, known for its swimmable and crystal-clear waters; kid-friendly pool areas including a 6,800-square-foot freeform family pool with a splash pad; family-friendly activities, like snorkeling, hula lessons and the showstopping Mauna Kea Luau; and daily activities through The Westin Hapuna Kids Club, including shell art and hunting, hiking to find treasures at the beautiful Kauna’oa Bay, coconut weaving, hula dancing, lei-making and more. For a poolside snack, enjoy
  • For a Family Reunion/Blowout Celebration: With more than 85 options that span up to seven bedrooms and 11,500+ square feet, Mauna Kea Residences operates a stunning portfolio of vacation rentals that are ideal for family celebrations, multi-generational reunions, holidays, and more. Set within communities with pools and fitness centers (in addition to the pools and fitness spaces within many of the homes), Mauna Kea Residences offers privacy alongside resort amenities for a well-rounded group stay. For example, a family of 10 can stay at The Bluffs at Mauna Kea (Villa #5), equipped with a chef’s kitchen, formal dining room for 16, multiple master suites, a private infinity pool, three whirlpool spas and a 2,500-square-foot lanai balcony with a full outdoor kitchen; OR they can walk over to Mauna Kea resort for an award-winning Meal at Manta or Meridia, go stand-up paddleboarding on the ocean, charge beachside cocktails back to their ‘room,’ and play a round of golf on one of two championship-caliber courses.
  • For Multi-Family Getaways: From longtime couple friends to young, new families planning a joint vacation, the modern, oceanfront Hapuna Beach Residences feature 68 island-infused oceanfront residences offering ultimate sophistication and luxury. From one to four bedrooms ranging from 670 to 3,500 square feet, the Hapuna Beach Residences offer a quieter, more private location without losing access to any of Westin Hapuna Beach Resort’s amenities and activities. The residences are even eligible for in-room dining per the resort’s menu if they aren’t up for cooking in the spacious and modernly appointed kitchens.
