Waikoloa

Waikoloa is the Kohala Coast's most complete and accessible destination, spanning the beachside energy of Waikoloa Beach Resort and the quieter, residential feel of Waikoloa Village just up the hill. Anaehoomalu Bay, known locally as A-Bay, anchors the coast with a long, calm stretch of sand ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and watersports, backed by ancient fishponds that speak to the area's deep Hawaiian history. The Kings' Shops and Queens' MarketPlace bring a full range of dining, retail, and entertainment options to the neighborhood, making Waikoloa as convenient as it is beautiful. Two championship golf courses run through the community, and the Hilton Waikoloa Village adds waterways and expansive pool facilities to the mix. Relative to the more exclusive enclaves of Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea further up the coast, Waikoloa offers a broader, more accessible Kohala Coast experience without sacrificing the sunshine or scenery that defines this stretch of the Big Island.
