Big Island Accommodation Guide


Big Island accommodation offers something for everyone. There are meg-resort complexes built around championship golf courses with plush rooms starting at US$200 per night on the dry Kohala Coast alongside some of the best sweeping beaches in Hawaii. To the south, in the Kapaloa Community, you'll find lots of vacation rental homes starting at US$150 per night. More affordable hotel rooms and small condominiums with self contained units abound in the busy sunshine town of Kailua. You'll find plenty of quaint bed and breakfast guesthouses all around the island, with rates starting at US$70 for the night, especially in the cool hills and coffee plantations overlooking Kailua Town, in the South Kona Hills at Captain Cook, in the farming hills of Waimea (Kamuela) and in amongst the tropical rain forest of Waipio Valley in the north, at Volcano National Park and the Puna Coast in the south and on the outskirts of Hilo Town on the East Coast. There are a couple of excellent backpacker hostels with dorm beds and budget rooms for US$40 per night in Hilo and Kailua Town. And for those who like camping, the Big Island has numerous State Parks with facilities where you can pitch a tent for US$10 per night.

Big Island beach hotels can be found mostly on the Kohala Coast, north of Kailua Town on the sunny west side of the island. Here there are a dozen large resorts including Outrigger and Prince Hotels, as well as the smaller Kona Beach Resort.

In Kailua Town, there are plenty of hotels on the coast but most have only tiny cove beaches or rocky seafronts. The best of these is the King Kamuela overlooking the harbour.

There are few beach resorts outside of these areas, the exception being the small Sea Mountain Resort near the gorgeous black sand beach of Puunalu on the south coast.
