Celebrate the Holidays
Reconnect where family traditions begin, across 34 acres of unforgettable oceanfront along the Kohala Coast. With seasonal experiences for every generation, each day brings something new. Greet the morning with a Sunrise Canoe Paddle at the transformed Surf Shack, then unwind at the refreshed HāLani or Mauna Lani Beach Club as ocean adventures unfold.
From private residences to oceanfront suites, exceptional cuisine, and Kainalu Ocean Sports, Mauna Lani is where memories are made and new traditions begin — from our ʻohana to yours, this holiday season.
