Below are the best Big Island Resorts on the island of Hawaii.


1. Outrigger Kona

The Outrigger Kona is located south of Kona town. It's located on Keauhou Bay which is where the Manta Rays come in the evenings. The Outrigger has a viewing platform to see them from the resort if you don't opt for an excursion where you can get in the water with the Manta Rays. The rooms are being renovated and should be done in late 2023. They have a family pool with a waterslide and an adult only pool. ($$S)

2. The Westin Hapuna Resort

The Westin Hapuna is located north of the airport. Guests can access the Westin Hapuna's Beach and the Mauna Kea Beach Hotels' Beach, which are both public and really beautiful beaches on the Big Island. The rooms are renovated and modern. ($$$$)

3. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is located north of the airport. Guests can access the Westin Hapuna's Beach and the Mauna Kea Beach Hotels' Beach, which are both public and really beautiful beaches on the Big Island. The rooms give off a cool 60's vibe. Art lovers will love this resort. It's on my favorite beach in Hawaii! ($$$$)

4. Mauna Lani Auberge

The Mauna Lani is a gorgeous resort. They have rooms, suites and residences to choose from. They have a zero entry pool for kids and an adult only area. The rooms are renovated and gorgeous. ($$$$$)

A pathway with greenery on each side of it goes towards the blue ocean. There is a sandy beach and palm trees.

5. Four Seasons Hualalai

There are not many words to describe The Four Seasons Hualalai. You have to see it for yourself to understand! My favorite area is Queen's Pond which has a salt water lagoon guests can swim and snorkel in. If you're lucky, you'll see their resident 27 year old Eagle Ray! ($$$$$)
