Lose yourself for a few hours at the hotel’s pool area – bordered by tropical landscaping and swaying palm trees it overlooks the ocean and features a 200-foot lava tube water slide, hot tubs, fountains and a sandy-bottomed children’s play area. And when it’s time to retreat from the world for a while, the spa offers Hawaiian therapies and treatments including a healing Himalayan Salt Room and an oceanfront treatment patio.

The spacious rooms are as warm and inviting as the brilliant landscape outside and offer stylish designs and contemporary furnishings. Inspired by Keauhou’s beautiful vistas, all ocean view rooms feature fabrics, colours and prints created by renowned Hawaii designer Sig Zane and the furnished lanai (balcony) is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy views of the glistening Pacific, tropical gardens or the lush slopes of Hualalai.

Rooms are air conditioned with cable TV, WiFi, hair dryer, ironing equipment, fridge and coffee maker.
