About The Estate
Holualoa Inn Estate offers spectacular ocean views, 30 acres of lush gardens, 5,300 Kona coffee trees, a custom-tiled mosaic (unheated) pool and hot tub, finely appointed guest rooms and suites, rooftop and garden gazebos, and attentive service in the spirit of Aloha. Originally built as a private residence in the late 1970’s, Holualoa Inn is a true escape to home. Guests enjoy unmatched service and exceptional lodging only a short drive from Kailua Kona, Hawai’i.
Perched at 1,400 feet on the cool slopes of Mt. Hualalai, 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 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.
Throughout the inn, Old Hawai’i 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 take in the sweeping views. The rooftop gazebo is a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets.
