For more than five decades, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has stood firmly as the standard bearer of ho‘okipa (hospitality) on the Island of Hawai‘i. Developed by Laurance S. Rockefeller as the first resort hotel on the island, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has welcomed generations of travelers to embrace the island’s spirit, the warmth of its people, and the rejuvenating capacity of the ocean that surrounds it.
A Legacy Reborn
In April 2026, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel completed a major renovation, which included refurbishing guest rooms and the pool area, as well as adding new spa and fitness facilities. The hotel has evolved into an even more sophisticated resort. We invite you to experience a space where you can enjoy a more comfortable and enriching stay. Come experience the new Mauna Kea.
We have renovated all guest rooms in both the Main Tower and the Beachfront Wing. While preserving iconic elements such as the spacious lanai and the stone flooring in the Beachfront Wing, we have incorporated rich wood interiors and handmade fabric accents inspired by Hawaiian weaving and quilting traditions.
