The Mauna Kea Resort was conceived and developed by Laurance Rockefeller, who flew all over the Hawaiian islands and picked this sport for the perfect sunbelt. Considered the crown jewel of the Kohala Coast, the Mauna Kea first opened in 1965 and enjoys a rich history of luxurious living in paradise. The Mauna Kea is the lowest-density resort on the Kohala Coast and the only property that has a natural, rolling topography that rises gradually from sea level to approximately 1,000 feet above sea level. Because of this, Mauna Kea guests enjoy unrivaled views of the ocean, coastline, the island of Maui, and of course spectacular sunsets. If you are looking for beach-frontage access to clear blue ocean waters on the Big Island, the Mauna Kea is second to none. The Mauna Kea boasts two of the most pristine white sand beaches in Hawaii: Kaunaoa Bay and Hapuna Beach. The 1,800-acre Mauna Kea Resort features two world-class hotels, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, as well as two championship 18-hole golf courses. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the Mauna Kea Golf Course, which was rated the #1 golf course on the Big Island and #12 overall in the Top 100 by Golf Magazine. Arnold Palmer designed the Hapuna Beach Golf Course, a links-style course that offers sweeping ocean views from almost every hole. Resort guests and property owners have access to the 11-court Seaside Tennis Club, two fitness centers, the Pacific and Asian art collection, the Mauna Kea Spa, and numerous restaurants and shopping options.

Mountain Reaching Heaven is the Hawaiian translation for Mauna Lani. This area was originally settled more than 800 years ago, and still today features early Hawaiian foot trails, amazing lava formations, shelter caves, burial and archeological sites, petro glyphs, and royal fishponds. In addition to keeping alive the beauty and history of Hawaiian culture, Mauna Lani is also committed to preserving Hawaiis natural resources. Mauna Lani is at the forefront of environmental stewardship, recognized as one of the worlds premier eco-friendly resorts. For example, photovoltaic systems provide operating power, and irrigation water for the two golf courses is supplied by brackish water wells that pump more than 3 million gallons a day! Mauna Lani resort encompasses approximately 3,200 acres, including more than three miles of accessible ocean-frontage. Mauna Lani is home to two upscale oceanfront hotels, two 18-hole championship golf courses, a Hawaiian spa and fitness club, tennis courts, a property owners beach club, a variety of shopping options, and both fine-dining and casual restaurants.
