Resort Description

Experience luxury in paradise with white-sandy beaches, turquoise oceanfront, and dramatic black-lava landscapes at the only five-star, five-diamond resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. This two-story, bungalow-style resort features 243 expansive guest rooms, suites, and villas, all overlooking beach blues, impressive pools, grand gardens, or a green golf course. The 635-square-foot guest rooms feature local Hawaiian art throughout, nature-inspired décor, and fabulous outdoor living areas, most equipped with a relaxing outdoor lava-rock garden shower. Housed in more privileged locations, the 51 uber-luxurious suites and villas range from 1,050 square feet to more than 5,500 square feet of expansive living space. Order in-room dining for private eats and personal service, or choose from the five ocean-side restaurants and lounges filled with creative menus of fresh ocean and local ingredients. Or for a romantic private dinner for two to four or a family feast for up to 12, dine on the beach or in a private poolside cabana for the ultimate food fete. The resort features a staggering seven swimming pools, including an infinity-edge, lagoon-shaped family pool; a white-sand bottom pool with children-sized lounge chairs and a chest of water toys; an adult-only oasis equipped with daybeds and miniature zen gardens; and a 1.8 million gallon “aquarium” pool carved out of natural lava rock and teeming with tropical fish. Drop off the kids and teens for a memorable and educational experience while you channel your inner-child. For those ages 5 through 12, kids can treasure trove and feed eagle rays at the year-round, complimentary children’s center, while teens can also experience fun and games with scheduled outdoor activities like tide pool explorations or game-room free time. They can even embark on a teen-only cruise. Adventure enthusiasts can tackle a 24-foot outdoor climbing wall, join in on a nature-inspired photo hike, scuba dive under the spectacular seas, or take a private ribcraft or canoe tour to explore secluded beaches and other secret coastal spots. Enjoy the winding 18-hole golf course contoured against black lava and boasting beautiful ocean views, or engage in an exhilarating glow-in-the-dark 5-hole night course. Workout with the latest fitness equipment at the sports club, or engage in complimentary on-site activities, like basketball, beach games, ping-pong, and more. Or simply relax at the 28,000-square foot spa with integrated tropical gardens and cool Hawaiian interiors. Whether you desire traditional Hawaiian culture or contemporary sophistication, picture your destination in island paradise filled with stunning settings and spectacular views of black lava bluffs, sparkling beaches, and lush tropical gardens. The wedding coordinators will create an unforgettable personalized and detailed experience to fulfill your wedding dreams, and even help lower your celebration’s carbon footprint for the green-conscious brides.
