WELCOME TO MAUNA KEA/HAPUNA RESORT
Considered the crown jewel of the Kohala Coast today, Mauna Kea Resort is anchored by two five-star hotels, the legendary Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. This fantastic location offers timeless charm and appeal, from its luxury accommodations to its white sandy beaches. No other beach resort or hotel in Hawaii can beat the Mauna Kea beachfront and access to the pristine ocean waters.
Mauna Kea translates into “white mountain.” The name is derived from Hawaii’s dormant white-capped volcano. Traditionally revered as the home of the ancient gods, this long-dormant volcano created the iconic Mauna Kea Beach, regarded as the best beach on the Big Island. Here, Mauna Kea homes take advantage of the slopping mountainsides for stunning views in luxury condominiums and single-family houses.
