Mauna Kea Beach Hotel - Hawaii

The world renowned Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is located on beautiful Kauna'oa Bay, considered by many to be the island's single most picturesque beach. Crescent shaped with pure white sands and shimmering aqua waters, it is perfect for water activities including swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, catamaran riding, whale watching and deep sea fishing. Even at night, guests step onto a circular lava outcropping overlooking the Bay, to watch the manta rays swim beneath. The eighteen holes of play at the Mauna Kea Golf Course sport panoramic ocean vistas, prompting Golf Digest to proclaim it the "number one golf course in Hawaii." One of the course's most dramatic features is the famous Third Hole, where surging Pacific inlet waters race to meet the rocky shoreline, creating one of the most photographed landscapes in golf today.
The 310 guestrooms have terrazzo tile floors, teakwood furnishings, furnished lanais, and original watercolor art. The open air architectural design and natural wood interiors give each room a feeling of spaciousness while being enveloped in a sense of serenity and elegance. At the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, guests can tee off over an ocean inlet, view 1,600 pieces of Pacific and Asian art, or watch manta rays feeding at night. Located on over 1800 acres of tropical, oceanfront paradise, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel offers truly a unique and exceptional experience.
