Mauna Kea Resort on the Big island of Hawaii has two of the world's most picturesque and peaceful beaches with Kauna'oa and Hapuna Bay. Here you'll find soft white sand and brilliant turquoise waters with the majestic volcano Mauna Kea as a backdrop. Vacation rentals here include private homes, luxury villas and condo rentals for families.

Favorite pastimes at the Mauna Kea Resort include a morning swim or walk along the 1/2 mile bay or snorkeling over the rainbow-colored reefs. You can also enjoy a leisurely afternoon of golf or tennis coupled with a sunset cocktail at the Beach Bar. In the evening watch the giant manta ray that gather at night around the underwater lights. End your day drifting into dreams while star gazing under the jeweled sky.

The private estates located slightly upland at the Mauna Kea Fairways provide all the luxury of resort living with the space and privacy of your own home. They include custom architectural designs, elegant furnishings, private pools and spas, ocean views, air-conditioning, maid service, and many other features unique to each estate home.

The Mauna Kea Resort welcomes you with use of the resort amenities at both the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel including golf, tennis, workout and beach facilities.

PLEASE NOTE: The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is closed until 2008 due to remodeling and repairs from the October 2006 earthquake. This provides an excellent oopportunity for resort guests to have access to uncrowded facilities. The beach is still open with the restaurant, bar, and beach attendants providing towels and lounge chairs. The Hapuna golf course is open as are the Mauna Kea tennis courts. The Mauna Kea golf course is closed from May 1, 2007 until fall 2008. This is a fantastic opportunity to come and enjoy the resort without the crowds.
