Along Kahuwai Bay on Hawai‘i Island, Kona Village is arranged as a low rise settlement between lava fields, palms and a long oceanfront. Its 150 freestanding hale draw on traditional forms through thatched roofs, timber screens and broad lanais, while outlooks range from gardens and lagoon to mountains or sea. Outdoor showers feature in many categories. Moana concentrates on Pacific seafood, Kahuwai Cookhouse uses open fire cooking and Shipwreck Bar sits beside the water. Family and adult swimming areas, a beach, canoe activities and cultural programmes spread through the grounds. At Asaya Spa, open air treatment rooms face the black lava landscape, keeping the island geology present within the wellness setting.
