Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is located on the Big Island of Hawaii, 13 miles from the town of Waimea.
This Hawaii resort features a helipad which is used by helicopters offering private aerial tours of the Big Island. The concierge also can help guests arrange activities such as parasailing, bicycle tours, Segway rentals, and yoga classes. Lifeguards are on duty at the hotel's white-sand crescent beach, where lounge chairs and umbrellas await. Snorkel gear, kayaks, boogie boards, and sailboats are available for rent.
Hotel founder Laurance S. Rockefeller's private collection of 1,600 Pacific and Asian artworks and artifacts is displayed throughout the hotel. A brochure is available for self-guided art tours; docent-guided tours of art and gardens also are offered weekly.
Mauna Kea Spa by Mandara provides a full menu of Balinese-inspired body treatments, including four-hand massage, hot-stone therapy, and couples massage. Guests also may choose massages in-suite or in ocean-view cabanas. The fitness center with cable TV has self-service complimentary coffee. Four meeting rooms offer 1,989 feet of space. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available.
One evening each week, guests can join astronomers to view constellations through an 11-inch lens telescope. At Manta Ray Point, manta rays dine at night on small fish attracted by a spotlight, as hotel guests watch. For children age 5–12, half-day or full-day activities are available seven days a week, with a 50 percent discount May 1 to September 30.
The Mauna Kea Hawaiian Lū‘au on Tuesday evenings offers a traditional beachfront feast of imu-roasted kālua pig, island fish, laulau, lomi salmon, sashimi, pineapple, papaya, and more. Entertainment includes steel guitars, the hula dance, and the fire dance.
