Big Island Resorts &
Kohala Coast Hotels

Most Big Island resorts and Kohala Coast hotels offer a variety of luxury accommodations. These Big Island Hawaii hotels are world-class, with dramatic golf courses, stunning Big Island beaches and a wide selection of fun, family-oriented activities.

Think of Kohala Coast hotels as an oasis in a lava desert: everything from palm tree-lined pristine white sand beaches to unparalleled amenities. These Big Island resort hotels are perfect for a magical Hawaii family vacation or a dream honeymoon.

At some of the Big Island resorts, activities are included at no additional charge. At others, you may pay less for your room but get charged for extras. If most of your time will be spent out exploring the island and all you want is a comfortable bed, any of the Kohala Coast hotels will fit the bill. That being said, some definitely offer a quieter, more peaceful feel, and some are more authentically tropical. Do your research. Find what feels right for you.

Most resorts do such a good job of catering to your every need that you may find it hard to pull yourself away to explore other sights on the island! If you do decide to get out for a day or two of exploring and have not rented a car, some of the resorts have rental car desks. This can be a good option if you only want a car for a portion of your stay.

Because of their special emphasis on programming for keiki (kids), many of our Hawaii Big Island resorts are especially suitable for families traveling with young children. Most have "kids camp" programs that are open to kids ages 5-12 (Hawaii state law). Many resort hotels also offer nanny services to care for your children under age five.
