About Hale Kiekiena
An architectural sanctuary where Balinese, Chinese, and Hawaiian design converge.
Perched majestically atop 1.62 acres of prime ocean-view land within The Bluffs exclusive gated community at Mauna Kea Resort, Hale Kiekiena is a 6,300-square-foot estate offering six private bedrooms and six and a half baths. The design seamlessly blends Balinese, Chinese, and Hawaiian elements into an architectural masterpiece, celebrated by Architectural Digest.
Over 2,000 square feet of covered lanai spaces embrace the Big Island's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A dramatic bridge entrance crosses tranquil koi ponds into the Great Room, where high ceilings and retractable pocket doors open to meticulously landscaped gardens. The separate 4-Bedroom Guest Villa ensures peaceful multigenerational living.
An 80-foot infinity-edge pool connects the main hale to the primary suite and poolside pavilions. Custom outdoor showers, a full outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, and 200-degree panoramic ocean views including Maui complete the estate. A complete solar array provides sustainable power, underscoring harmony with the environment.
The adjacent approximately 4 acres of unbuildable common area adds to the absolute privacy of the estate. Mauna Kea Resort itself spans 1,800 acres with two renowned hotels, two championship golf courses (including the newly renovated Hapuna course with all-new seashore paspalum turf), oceanfront tennis courts, and the brand-new Spa at Mauna Kea, a 22,000-square-foot wellness destination rooted in Hawaiian healing traditions that opened as part of the resort's $240 million Seibu investment and transformation.

Not just a resort. A legacy on the Kohala Coast.
A Legacy Founded by Rockefeller
Mauna Kea Resort was established in 1965 by Laurance S. Rockefeller on 1,800 acres of the Kohala Coast. Rockefeller chose this stretch of shoreline for its unspoiled beauty and set out to build a resort that worked with the volcanic landscape rather than against it. The result is one of the most enduring luxury resort communities in the Pacific, anchored by the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. The original beach hotel is a celebrated mid-century modern landmark, praised by Goop for its architectural significance and for experiences like moonlit manta ray swims off Kauna'oa Bay.
Ranked Among the Nation's Best
The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel ranks as the #6 best hotel in the United States in the Condé Nast Traveler 2025 Readers' Choice Awards and #18 among the nation's top luxury hotels. The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort was named the #10 resort in Hawaii by Travel + Leisure in its 2025 World's Best Awards. The resort also received the 2024 Historic Hotels of America Sustainability Champion Award for its commitment to environmental stewardship alongside historic preservation.
The Spa at Mauna Kea — New in 2026
The resort's most significant recent investment is The Spa at Mauna Kea, a 22,000-square-foot luxury wellness facility that opened in April 2026 as part of a $240 million Seibu investment and transformation. Rooted in the Hawaiian concept of Ho'ōla i Loko (healing begins within), guests begin their experience with a traditional oli (chant). Treatments incorporate lomilomi-inspired therapies, locally sourced botanicals, mineral-rich salts, and hand-gathered island lava stones across 11 al-fresco treatment rooms, couples' suites with private lanais and soaking tubs, purification gardens, a spa vitality pool, movement pavilion, co-ed wellness deck, and full-service salon.
Two of Hawaii's Finest Beaches
Kaunaoa (Mauna Kea) Beach was ranked the #8 beach in the United States by Dr. Beach for 2025, cited for its pristine white coral sand and crystal-clear waters. The beach that inspired Rockefeller to build the resort, it remains one of Hawaii's most iconic shores. Hapuna Beach, a short drive north, stretches nearly half a mile and has been named the #1 beach in the U.S. by Tripadvisor and is consistently featured in Travel + Leisure's curated guides to Hawaii's finest shores. Together, they form the most celebrated pair of beaches on the Big Island.
Championship Golf, Shaped by Three Generations of Jones
The Mauna Kea Golf Course was carved from raw volcanic lava by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1964. His sons Bobby and Rees Jones both contributed to the course's evolution, and Jim Nantz, in a 2025 Golf Digest feature, described it as a "family project" shaped across three generations. The iconic par-3 third hole demands a tee shot entirely over an ocean cove, drawing comparisons to the 16th at Cypress Point. At its full 7,370-yard length, Nantz called the course a "beast" of a test. It ranks #45 among resort courses in the U.S. (Golfweek 2024). In May 2026, the Hapuna Golf Course completed a $1 million renovation: all new drought-resistant seashore paspalum turf, reshaped fairways, and modernized bunkers. The 18-hole Palmer-Seay layout climbs from the shoreline to 750 feet above sea level with sweeping panoramic views of the Kohala Coast and Pacific Ocean.
The neighborhood
Mauna Kea Resort, Kohala Coast.
A premier destination spanning 1,800 acres on the Kohala Coast, founded by Laurance S. Rockefeller in 1965 and recognized by Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and Golfweek among the nation's best resort communities. From the #8-ranked beach in the U.S. to newly renovated championship golf, a brand-new 22,000-square-foot luxury spa, and oceanfront tennis, this is the rarest kind of resort: established, private, and surrounded by ocean.
Two of Hawaii's most celebrated beaches
Kaunaoa (Mauna Kea) Beach was ranked #8 in the U.S. by Dr. Beach (2025). Hapuna Beach was named #1 in the U.S. by Tripadvisor and is a perennial Travel + Leisure favorite.
