Around the Estate

Our Estate Grounds

Perched at 1,400 feet on the cool slopes of Hualālai Mountain, the estate resides in harmony among fragrant flower gardens, tropical fruit, coffee trees, culinary herb gardens, and rustic walking trails. Early Hawaiian footpaths wind through the estate and along green pastures. The entrance is lined with avocado and mango trees, red torch ginger, and white pineapple. A lava path winds to the fruit orchard, past the plant nursery, and up to Malulani Pavilion for an infinity view of the vast Pacific Ocean.

Inside the Inn

Throughout the inn, Old Hawaiʻi is masterfully echoed. The original eucalyptus floors have been restored with care. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the Great Room features works from local artists, traditional Polynesian furniture, stunning sculptural accents, and a working fireplace. The covered lanai is complete with rockers and a daybed to relax and enjoy a peaceful pause. The rooftop gazebo is a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets.

Sculpture Garden

A Walk Through Our Art Garden

Just steps below the Inn lies our new 4.5 acre Sculpture Garden and Preserve, featuring paths through tropical flora, coffee trees and interactive sculptures commissioned and installed to inspire peaceful meditation and thoughtful transformation. Begin at our sundial, Black Sun by Pedro Reyes, before walking through our meditative Labyrinth. Rest on our Rock Throne before walking to our hand-crafted wings – Arrested Image of a Dream II by Jiten Thukral & Sumir Tagra. Enjoy the breeze while walking through the coffee orchard to our Lani Hau Amphitheater, where guests can lay out a beach towel and enjoy lunch in the garden. Then ring our Bells – Caller by Davina Semo and listen as the sound floats on air.
