Hotel information
Set along the dramatic shores of Kahuwai Bay on Hawaii’s Big Island, Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort places you in 81 acres of pristine volcanic landscape and azure shoreline.
The reimagined haven celebrates the heritage and natural spirit of the original Kona Village, while redefining modern island luxury with refined simplicity and a deep respect for its cultural roots.
Here, the resort’s traditional Hawaiian design and contemporary craftsmanship combine. Each of the 150-standalone hales—inspired by traditional Polynesian structures—offer you a sense of privacy and tranquillity, with a choice of ocean, lagoon or mountain views. Across the property, you’ll find four outdoor pools, including a serene adult-only sanctuary, alongside the holistic Asaya Spa, an experience that steers you to a regenerative state of lokahi (traditional Hawaiian healing concept).
Its connection to location runs deep, too. During your stay, you can visit the Cultural Centre and preserved archaeological sites to learn first-hand about the region’s rich heritage. Or, enjoy guided activities that reveal the stories woven through the surrounding area. Not only that, but dining is equally considered, so you can tuck into a beachfront meal and have sunset drinks at the bars.
Powered entirely by solar energy and guided by a strong commitment to sustainability, Kona Village is as forward-looking as it is steeped in history. You’ll love it if you seek privacy, nature and authenticity; it provides a peaceful escape honouring Hawaii’s past while embracing its future.
