Located along the coveted Kohala Coast, the Mauna Lani Resort area blends the privacy of residential living with the ease of resort-style amenities, creating an ideal home base for families seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Guests may choose from a curated collection of private homes, townhouses, and condo-style residences all managed by CoralTree and thoughtfully designed for multi-generational travel. Among them is the beautifully appointed Moana Ohana at Kamilo, a spacious residence inspired by the spirit of island adventure. Subtle design touches throughout the home pay homage to the beloved story of Moana, with coastal textures, ocean-inspired décor, and playful details that evoke exploration, family, and connection to the sea. The residence features multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, generous indoor-outdoor living spaces, and modern comforts that allow families to gather with ease while enjoying privacy and flexibility.
Most all Mauna Lani Resort residences offer either ocean views or golf course views. Each vacation residence offers the conveniences of home — including full kitchens, in-unit laundry, expansive lanais, and open living areas — giving families space to spread out, dine together, and recharge between island excursions. Seamless indoor-outdoor living enhance the sense of place and relaxation, especially for guests that select a ground-floor accommodation with easy access onto a lanai lawn.
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club, where calm, swimmable waters provide ideal conditions for children and exceptional snorkeling just offshore. The Beach Club also offers convenient food and beverage service, allowing families to enjoy beachside bites and refreshing drinks without leaving the shoreline. For guests staying specifically at the oceanfront Mauna Lani Point, take comfort in a resort-style pool and hot tub, barbecue and gathering areas, and a tranquil gated setting surrounded by lush landscaping, scenic walking paths, views of the Mauna Lani South Golf Course, and historic Hawaiian fishponds.
Families can further immerse themselves in the island’s rich culture and natural beauty with a visit to the nearby Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve (Petroglyph Park), home to thousands of ancient Hawaiian kiʻi pōhaku (petroglyphs) etched into lava rock. Additional adventures await across the island, from snorkeling vibrant reefs steps from the Beach Club to embarking on an unforgettable evening swim with majestic manta rays. A day trip to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park reveals dramatic lava fields, craters, and lush rainforest landscapes that tell the story of the island’s living geology.
