Mauna Lani Bay Resort in the Big Island

Mauna Lani Bay Resort



The Mauna Lani Bay Resort is on 29 ocean front acres right next door to the Fairmont Orchid. This newly renovated property offers a great value on the Kohala Coast. They have no resort fee and offer free parking, free beach cabanas, internet service, bottled water, twice daily maid service, some water sports, a fitness center, children’s activities and a shuttle within the Mauna Lani complex. The complex is surrounded by golf courses which makes this resort popular among golfers.



The beautiful grounds include a beautiful pool area and 3 beaches with ponds in between them, a turtle pond, a small shark pond and great lawn which is an ideal wedding spot. They have a cultural center where hula lessons and lei making classes are offered during the day. A historian is on hand each Saturday evening before a full moon at twilight to tell Hawaiian stories. Take a look at some of the pictures we took on our last visit.

This is a lovely hotel and for those guests who want full luxury, the private bungalows on the resort grounds are to die for. These 4000 square foot, 2 bedroom super suites have their own plunge pools, 2 ½ baths, a large living room and full dining room. They are absolutely stunning and can sleep 5 adults.

Take a look a judge for yourself!
