Kalaekilohana

Top choice in Hawaiʻi the Big Island


The hoʻokipa (hospitality) here reaches levels of refinement rarely found in southern Hawai'i. Upstairs, airy rooms feature hardwood floors, luxurious beds, rainfall showers and private lanai (balcony). Downstairs, the gracious library and music room (complete with small ensemble), a wide porch and complimentary drinks invite lingering. It's a bit removed from the rest of the world, but that's also its appeal. Breakfast included.

The restaurant is now open for non-guests at lunch.
