Enveloped by 3,200 acres of sacred fishponds, centuries-old petroglyph fields, and idyllic beaches brimming with marine life, Mauna Lani – meaning “mountain reaching heaven” – is an oceanfront haven infused with the stories of generations of families and friends.
Named Travel + Leisure’s No. 1 Resort on the Island of Hawai’i, Mauna Lani enjoys recently reimagined accommodations, three distinct pools, oceanfront dining, Kainalu Ocean Sports and Living Culture programs, locally-inspired spa treatments, Hawaii’s first and only goop Store, culturally-driven experiences for children, two award-winning golf courses and a wellness center with tennis and pickleball.
Mauna Lani is nestled within the sacred land area known as Kalāhuipua’a, where Hawaiian royalty sought rest and rejuvenation hundreds of years ago. As Kalāhuipua’a lies at the center of Hawaii’s five peaks, many claim that the land radiates spiritual energy, or mana.
Today, the same mana that attracted the ancients touches all of Mauna Lani, from the royal fishponds and our swimmable beach to Hale ‘I’ike, where our Living Culture team shares the origins and stories of this mesmerizing place.
From the storied CanoeHouse that started it all to newer concepts like Surf Shack, Mauna Lani’s legacy of culinary excellence continues to grow. With all five dining venues paying tribute to Hawai’i Island’s local landscape, Mauna Lani fosters community through thoughtful experiences that honor nature and tradition. After picking up a fresh cup of 100% Kona coffee at The Market, indulge in ube pancakes and P.O.G. mimosas at HāLani. Fuel up between adventures at Surf Shack, where fresh-caught fish tacos and our favorite local beers taste best with an ocean view. When happy hour rolls around, grab a Lani Tai – our take on the classic mai tai – at Hā Bar, then waltz to CanoeHouse to savor culinary gems.
