Planning a Hawaiʻi Babymoon? Whether it’s baby number one or the latest addition to a growing family, taking some time to celebrate and travel is a great way to reconnect with your partner and destress before the new baby arrives.
Hawaiʻi is the perfect choice for a babymoon. The islands offer year-round warm temperate climate and abundant access to nature, without the risks of many other tropical destinations (no Zika virus, no snakes, no rabies virus, and low crime rates). As part of the United States, visas are not required for US citizens and it’s only a 5-hour direct flight from the West Coast. Hawaiʻi Island, often referred to as the Big Island, is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, but is also the least populated. Meaning there’s a lot to see without the huge crowds you’ll find on other islands.
The Perfect Babymoon Stay
The Holualoa Inn, a 5-star bed and breakfast located in the quiet charming artist village of Hōlualoa, offers the perfect setting for beauty, comfort, and privacy. Tucked away on the slopes of Mount Hualālai, the inn is located away from the bustle of town at a breezy and cool elevation, but only a 15-minute drive from beaches, shops, and restaurants. With spectacular views, 30 acres of lush gardens to explore, pool and hot tub, rooftop and garden gazebos, and finely appointed guest rooms, the inn is refined yet cozy. All maintained with care and attentive service in the spirit of Aloha. Whether you’re looking for a homebase for adventure or a tranquil retreat to relax and restore for your Hawaiʻi babymoon, the Holualoa Inn has it all.
Delicious Breakfasts
Our chefs create beautiful and decadent breakfasts every morning like passionfruit French toast, eggs Benedict, or banana pancakes. Have dietary restrictions or avoiding certain foods during pregnancy? Not to worry. Our chefs are happy to make omissions or substitutions, so you don’t miss out on a single delicious dish.
Couples Massage
Pregnant parents deserve some pampering. Treat yourselves to a couple’s massage, either in our outdoor covered pavilion for full immersion with nature, or in your room for ultimate privacy (available for our Red Barn and Darrell Hill Cottage Suites). We partner with a talented team of therapists specializing in various styles of expertise, including Hawaiian lomilomi and pre-natal massage. You can get exactly the kind of massage you need, regardless of how far along you are.

A Maternity Photo Shoot
If it’s your first baby, these may be the last photos you and your partner will take together as a couple before becoming a family. This is a super special time to document your ongoing love story. Even if it’s not baby number one, maternity photos are a beautiful way to celebrate and capture the pregnancy and make lasting memories. Our partner Dawn at Dawn Eicher Photography helps you every step of the way to create and capture those picture-perfect moments.
A beach backdrop is classic Hawaiʻi, but with its sweeping ocean views and lush tropical gardens, the Holualoa Inn also offers many stunning natural spaces to choose from for your photo shoot. Many beautiful photo opportunities are mere steps away from your private room. That means convenient access for wardrobe changes, hair and makeup retouches, and comfortable places to rest between shots. All that plus quick restroom access? Yes please.
Private Prenatal Yoga Class
Enjoy a private 60-minute prenatal yoga lesson with our certified instructor. Our instructors cater the class to your experience level (beginners welcome), mobility, and comfort. Regardless of where in your pregnancy you are, our instructors create the perfect class for your needs. You choose the time and location, whether in our gardens, by the pool, or on our rooftop gazebo.
Healthy Lunch
What better way to follow up your healthy yoga session than with a healthy lunch? Our chefs can prepare a delicious, healthy lunch from the tranquility of our scenic dining room. Lunch includes a fresh fruit smoothie, mixed green salad with seasonable vegetables, and your choice of garden herb marinated chicken, freshly caught local fish, or protein-rich vegetarian quinoa.
Luxury Picnic
Looking to add some extra luxury to your stay? Our partners at Luxury Picnics Hawaiʻi create private tailored packages for every occasion. Treat yourself and your partner to a Romantic Escape Picnic, where every detail is finely tuned to enhance the natural beauty of your surroundings. Effortless luxury catered to your tastes to create meaningful memories with loved ones. They take care of the food, drink, flowers, and décor while you and your partner can relax, indulge, and savor the breath-taking beauty of Hawaiʻi.
If you’re looking for a safe, easy, and beautiful place to relax, indulge, and celebrate your Hawaiʻi babymoon it just doesn’t get any better than the Holualoa Inn on the Big Island.
