The Road to Hana

LoginSave

Welcome to the jungle – in an entirely pleasant way. Built from a recycled Zen temple, this rustic-romantic one-of-a-kind cottage is so secluded it’s off the grid and uses its own solar power. Yet it has everything you’ll need, including a kitchen with gas burners and an open-air shower in a redwood gazebo. Hosts Cameron and Megan bring warm alohas.

The grounds also contain a Tibetan-style stupa with a spectacular clifftop ocean view – the place is perfect for meditation or yoga. To get there follow Ulalama Loop, on the left after the 2-mile marker, to Hoʻolawa Rd.
