Welcome
to Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
For more than five decades, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has stood firmly as the standard bearer of ho‘okipa (hospitality) on the Island of Hawai‘i. Developed by Laurance S. Rockefeller as the first resort hotel on the island, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has welcomed generations of travelers to embrace the island’s spirit, the warmth of its people, and the rejuvenating capacity of the ocean that surrounds it.
From the often snow-capped peaks of the summits of Maunakea and Maunaloa, to the fires of volcano goddess Pele, to cascading waterfalls, tropical rainforests, and serene rolling ranch lands, this island of diverse peoples and geologies is unlike any you can experience elsewhere on earth. Whatever you choose, whatever the experience, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the magical Island of Hawai‘i will beckon you to return again to the warm embrace we know as the Aloha spirit.
