Villas at Mauna Kea Resort

Mauna Kea Resort opened in 1965 on the white crescent of Kauna'oa Beach, and it is still the quietest of the Kohala resorts. Villas here sit above the beach in Kauna'oa, along the fairways, and up the hill at Wai'ula'ula, where the views take in the whole coastline.

Guests can use the resort beach services, golf, tennis, and dining. Some communities include club access; others pay a resort amenity fee directly to the resort. Each villa page says which.
