Play All Day

Welcome to your home away from home — in paradise! We’re excited to invite our valued guests to adventure through Hawaiian culture. Snorkel, paddle and sightsee, right here on our palm-dotted oceanside property.

For the most recent activity schedule, please click below.

Our coveted location on the Big Island’s sunny west coast means Bucket List water sports and ‘aina (land) adventures beckon from outside your guest room — and space. Lots of it. We’ve got 32 green, artfully landscaped acres filled with fragrant exotics, blooming tropical greenery, rushing waterfalls and tinkling streams.

Meet locals who can trace their lineage back to the first native Hawaiians. Learn firsthand about our music, dance, food, crafts, legends and traditions. Enjoy a round of oceanfront golf or tennis on one of the country’s top courts. Snorkel in the quiet waters of our private Pauoa Bay and pāʻani (play) on the beach. Spend a blissful afternoon in your own open-air hut of our renowned Spa Without Walls. Relax, reflect and rejuvenate.

Sink into deep relaxation with a traditional lomi lomi-style massage and volcanic mud wrap for legs and feet. Rekindle connection with a sensual side-by-side couple’s candlelit massage.
