Mauna Kea

Mauna Kea Resort occupies a singular place in Hawaii's hospitality history. Opened in 1965 by Laurance Rockefeller, it was one of the first destination resorts on the Kohala Coast and set the standard for what Big Island luxury could look like. Gather's vacation rentals here span two distinct experiences: private estates nestled within the exclusive residential section of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, and villa rentals within the broader Mauna Kea Resort community, both offering full access to the amenities of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Between the two properties, guests enjoy some of Hawaii's finest beaches, golf courses, restaurants, and spas. The Mauna Kea Golf Course runs along the oceanfront with views that make even a difficult round worthwhile. On the Kohala Coast, few addresses carry as much history or as consistent a standard.
