Hale Hualalai - A 3-star bed and breakfast with panoramic ocean views, on-site organic coffee farm, and farm-to-table breakfast
A 3-star bed and breakfast (rated 9.6/10) located in the Kona Coffee District near Kailua-Kona, Hale Hualalai offers panoramic ocean views and sustainable practices with an on-site organic coffee farm. The property features two identical suites, each with a private entrance, private bath, private lanai, a king-size bed, and a spacious sitting area. Rooms include a balcony, carpeted floors, electric kettle, sofa, TV, and free WiFi. Each suite also has a Jacuzzi bathtub and a large tile shower. Breakfast is a highlight: a homemade gourmet meal using local ingredients, often sourced from the property's own farm, prepared by host Ricky. Guests enjoy the meal on a terrace overlooking the ocean at Hale Hualalai. The property is 11 km from Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport and 5 km from Hulihe'e Palace. Nearby attractions include Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park (9 km) and Kealakekua Bay. Free private parking is available on-site, and the property promotes permaculture surrounded by coffee plantations at Hale Hualalai. No air conditioning is needed due to the elevation providing cool temperatures.
