Mauna Kea Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii

Mauna Kea Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii offers the ultimate luxury resort experience.  Built atop stunning sea cliffs around the spectacular Kauna’oa Bay, Mauna Kea was the first area developed along the Kohala Coast.  Lawrence Rockefeller combed the Kona & Kohala Coasts of the Big Island in the early 1960s and selected this location as the site of this special place.

The exclusive Mauna Kea communities enjoy two phenomenal white sand beaches that are consistently ranked among the top ten beaches in the world.  There is an opportunity for membership in two 18 hole championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer & Robert Trent Jones.  In addition, there is an extraordinary oceanfront tennis court complex featuring 11 courts. Charge privileges at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel restaurants and shops add an exceptional convenience for all residents.

Mauna Kea Beach Resort Highlights:

  • Two championship 18 hole golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones.
  • Two of Hawaii’s best beaches consistently ranked top 10 in the world – Kauna’oa Bay and Hapuna Beach.
  • 11 court, oceanfront tennis complex.
  • Exclusive premier communities with five star amenities.
  • Lowest density resort on the Kohala Coast.

It is no accident that Rockefeller chose this very place to realize his vision. As he surveyed the length of the coast he selected the two most perfect beaches, but also the land with the most character. He recognized the opportunity to create golf courses with character, and homesites with expansive views and a benign climate that were all unique to what would become Mauna Kea Resort.Indeed, those that know Hawaii, and especially those fortunate to live here full time often favor mauka properties – those on the mountain. Breezes tend to keep the temperatures a bit cooler, but elevation also rewards owners with spectacular views – panoramic 360° vistas from the snow-capped Mauna Kea to Hualalai, and 50-miles of white water shoreline that run the length of the Kohala Coast. In the distance, neighboring Maui and Haleakala.Hapuna Estates Phase 3 lots are 12 estate homesites and located along the 6th fairway of Arnold Palmer-designed Hapuna Golf Course.
