Editor’s Note: The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel set the standard for luxury travel to the neighbor islands in the 60's and 70's.  She has re-opened to the same standard of luxury for the new century.  Completely renovated because of  the earthquake , the deluxe rooms have been configured from three rooms into two rooms with a wow factor luxury bathroom.  The beach remains one of the most impressive in all of Hawaii and this is something NEW worth experiencing.

"Every great beach deserves a great hotel."

This was said by Laurance S. Rockefeller, who founded The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in 1965. He knew the great beach at Kauna'oa also deserved spectacular golf and exceptional dining to accompany the most exclusive and expensive resort of its day. Four decades later, following a $150 million repair and renovation, The Mauna Kea once again stands as a landmark of luxury on the Big Island's golden Kohala Coast.

In the restaurants, exciting new sights, sounds, scents and sensational tastes elevate the experience of dining in our luxury Hawaii hotel. The legendary Mauna Kea Golf Course, updated to current USGA standards of play, where Rees Jones sets a new benchmark for Big Island golf. Gracious guestrooms, artfully enhanced by John Hara Associates Inc. and Barry Design Associates showcase Mr. Rockefeller's signature "understated elegance" in a graceful fusion of modern features and fabulous style.

With a timeless tradition of aloha, The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel welcomes generations of guests to come and be inspired by the past, embraced by the moment, enchanted by the warm days and exciting possibilities ahead.
