Mauna Lani Beach Club

The Mauna Lani Beach Club is a picturesque soft white sand cove on the Koloa Coast. A labyrinth of coral reef combined with traditionally gentle waves make this cove an ideal spot on the Big Island for snorkeling.  Additional features such as dining and drinks at the oceanfront Napua Restaurant, convenient beach gear rental (including snorkels and paddle boards), and shower access, make the Mauna Lani Beach Club the perfect option for a relaxing beach day.
