Welcome to Kona Village Resort Hotel!

Kona Village Resort Hotel is closed indefinitely due to tsunami.

Hidden away on a secluded beach in a sheltered bay, the Kona Village Resort recaptures the atmosphere of Old Hawaii. Perfect for the traveler looking to get away, this charming resort forms a unique Polynesian village like those of old, with thatched-roof cottages specially made to insure peace and tranquility.

Spend your days playing tennis, loafing on the beach, learning to sail, swimming in one of two pools, or participating in a wide variety of watersports. Enjoy a choice of two wonderful restaurants, three comfortable lounges, and nightly entertainment.

Located 6 miles from the airport, and 16 miles from town.

On 82-acres, hugging the crescent curve of Kahuwai Bay, 125 individual hales offer guests a choice of picturesque garden views, tranquil lagoon settings and dramatic ocean panoramas. Ten styles range in size from intimate to large enough to accommodate multiple families. So distinctive is each hale that many guests request their same hale upon their return.

There are three distinctive areas of the resort where the accommodations are located.

The south side of the resort with the grassy and sandy areas, palm trees and tropical foliage is the favorite of most families or couples who enjoy a more South Pacific environment.

The lagoon area is a favorite of many of our guests who enjoy seeing and hearing the birds, ducks, swans and other wildlife found in very tropical settings. The water in the lagoons is brackish which eliminates most of the mosquitoes and bugs.

The hales on the north side are built on the 1801 lava flow. This gives a beautiful stark contrast between the brilliant blue Pacific, natural black lava and tropical foliage planted around the hales. The north side with its black sand beach is a favorite of couples who especially enjoy the peace, quiet and tranquility of Kona Village.
