In Hawaiian, ‘Hapuna’ means ‘spring of life’ and refers to the area’s underground springs that were known, in ancient times, to bubble to the surface during times of heavy rain, creating natural artisan fountains.

Stroll through the open-air lobby and beautiful terraced gardens, to step right on to the beach’s white sand. After a relaxing day on the beach, snorkelling at Turtle Point or topping up your tan around the free-form pool, the private lanai in your chic, airy and spacious room is the perfect setting to take in the ocean view, read a book or unwind before the evening’s excitement.

There are several options for dinner including a grill and oyster bar, a Japanese-style buffet and guests can also enjoy dinner at the sister property, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
