Rooms + Suites

Authentic Hawaiian bungalows.

Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort perfectly weaves modern luxury with local artisan touches infused throughout its 150 bungalows, known as hale. These traditional Hawaiian structures are free-standing for optimal privacy and feature oversized lanais and outdoor showers. If you’re traveling with family, consider one of the resort’s thirty-seven suites (or kauhale), which offer even more spacious accommodations and oceanfront views.

For the ultimate experience, Kona Village’s signature suites can accommodate up to twelve guests and feature outdoor showers, private pools, hot tubs, and a highly personalized butler service. With a variety of locations including oceanfront and secluded gardens, we recommend these kauhale for a more private, immersive experience.
Pool + Gym

Activities for the whole family.

With four outdoor pools, there is no shortage of opportunities for fun in the sun at Kona Village. The property features two main pools, Moana Pool and Shipwreck Pool, in addition to a keiki (kids) pool and a lap pool for those wanting to squeeze in some exercise!

A state-of-the-art fitness center is also on-site, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows so you can work out with a view. From TechnoGym equipment like cardiovascular and weight training machines, to post-workout saunas, the gym has you covered. Pickleball and tennis courts are also available.
Spa

Restore your internal harmony at the resort's natural, healing spa.

The Asaya® Spa at Kona Village embodies Rosewood’s five key pillars of wellness: emotional balance, fitness and nutrition, physical therapies, skin health, and community. Built upon black lava with views of the Hualālai volcano, the spa is meant to inspire and heal guests through the powers of the landscape. Massages and facials are elevated through the use of local ingredients and time-honored practices that help guests achieve lōkahi, or internal harmony.
Restaurant + Bar

Flavors inspired by landscape, culture, and history.

With two unique outlets helmed by Executive Chef Victor Palma, Kona Village blends flavors from both land and sea. Moana, the resort’s signature restaurant, offers a unique Pacific Rim-to-table menu that pays homage to the property’s former status as a fishing village. Kahuwai Cookhouse and Market is a more casual dining option offering a variety of grab-and-go options. Inspired by the Big Island’s paniolo (or Hawaiian cowboy) culture, the restaurant uses a special type of wood-fired cooking known as Kiawe.

In addition to its two restaurants, Kona Village is also home to two iconic bars, Talk Story and Shipwreck. Talk Story Bar is a perfect spot to catch up with old and newly-found friends over cocktails, admire the sunset, and maybe even spot a whale or two. Shipwreck Bar is unique because of its historic background: once belonging to the resort’s original owner, the sunken ship was discovered and restored into the beautiful gathering spot you see today. It even features specialty cocktails such as ‘Mick, The Jungle Bird’ which blends bitter Campari, sweet island pineapple, and passion fruit for the ultimate tropical beverage.
