Fancy seafood cuisine at Hawaii Island's most romantic restaurant

Situated just minutes above Kailua-Kona Village, Holualoa Inn is perfectly located for guests looking to enjoy some of Hawaii Island’s most romantic dining venues — all of them dishing up culinary bliss! Just 10 minutes downhill from Holualoa Inn, La Bourgogne dishes up the ultimate in French country cuisine in a dining room that will make you believe you’ve been transported to Provence! The space is intimate & dimly lit, so be sure to request a booth — best for snuggling between courses! In the heart of Kailua-Kona, you’ll find Huggo’s. An institution here on the Island’s west side, Huggo’s has been welcoming guests to it’s bay front location for more than 40 years & its pint-sized southern lanai is an insider find for those looking for great food and privacy. For tropical romance at its finest, book your table for two on an evening sporting a full moon! Overlooking White Sands Beach just south of Kailua-Kona, the venerable Jameson’s boasts intimate lanai and indoor dining. Seafood is a specialty, along with arguably the very best Mai Tai cocktail on the island! Closer to home, it’s an easy stroll from the Inn to Holuakoa Gardens & Cafe, one of the island’s top dining destinations. Enchanting gardens, organic ingredients and Chef Wilson at the stoves…it’s all part of Holuakoa Gardens’ recipe for success! Kau-Kau (eat up & enjoy!)
