Kona Village Resort, Hawaii
More photosExpert reviews
“This property is set on a stunning beach, but the design is fusty; that one has nailed the decor, but the beach is an absolute zoo; another might have the most marvelous staff, but no sense of place.”
“On the resort’s 81 acres are only 150 hale, or houses, decorated with art commissioned from mostly native Hawaiian artists. There are four bars and restaurants, including one made from a sailboat the owners sank nearby.”
“Years after being destroyed by a tsunami, one of Kona’s most beloved resorts has reopened, completely remodeled, yet retaining much of what made the original so special. The Standard 600-square-foot rooms (called hales, or homes) are all freestanding and feature thatched roofs and luxurious interiors.”

All you need to know
Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort is like stepping into a dreamy Hawaiian storybook. Nestled on 81 acres of sacred land along Kahuwai Bay, it feels peaceful yet alive, with thatched-roof hale (traditional bungalows) tucked into lush greenery, lava rock, and palm trees. The whole place has been thoughtfully rebuilt, honoring its history while bringing in modern touches.
As for what to do? You’ve got it all: relaxing by one of four ocean-view pools, paddling out at sunrise, or chilling at the Asaya Spa, where Hawaiian healing practices meet big-island luxury.
There are also cultural experiences, like ukulele lessons, storytelling, and even a cinema on the sand.
And for food and drink, the resort leans into the flavors of the Pacific Rim with menus that celebrate local produce and island traditions.
