Welcome to Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
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, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel completed an extensive transformation, including renovated guestrooms and pool areas as well as newly built spa, oceanfront adults infinity lap pool and fitness facilities, further elevating the resort’s level of comfort and sophistication. We invite you to experience the new Mauna Kea, where enhanced spaces offer an even more relaxing and enriching stay.
Guest Rooms and Suites
To elevate the resort’s luxury experience, all guestrooms in both the Main Tower and Beachfront Wing have been thoughtfully renovated. While preserving iconic elements such as the spacious lanais and the stone flooring of the Beachfront Wing, the refreshed interiors now feature rich wood finishes and handcrafted textile accents inspired by Hawai‘i’s weaving and quilting traditions.

Fitness & Pool
A new fitness center of approximately 2,500 square feet, equipped with state‑of‑the‑art training technology, has been added alongside an adults‑only infinity lap pool with a spacious lanai. These enhancements elevate the resort’s wellness experience, offering an open, nature‑connected environment where you can move freely and feel refreshed throughout your stay.
SPA AT MAUNA KEA
The all-new SPA AT MAUNA KEA features eleven indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, separate steam sauna rooms for men and women, and a co-ed wellness deck complete with a jacuzzi and lush garden, a purification garden with hot and cold plunge pools. Designed to blend indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly, the spa offers a calming environment where you can unwind not only during your treatment but long after, leaving both body and mind refreshed.
