OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa
When it comes to unforgettable Big Island stays, this magnificently renovated oceanfront escape has everything. Resting on the Kona Coast above the lava-rock cliffs of Keauhou Bay, this 22-acre resort is one of the only places in the world where gentle, giant manta rays swim right up to the shoreline.
Make a splash at the oceanfront pool and waterslide, offering endless family-friendly fun for both kids and adults, all with breathtaking views of the Pacific. Take a dip in the shimmering lagoon pool, toast to good times at the brand-new Piko coffee and wine bar and relax at the poolside Holua Poolside Bar & Lounge before returning to your serene room, each complete with a private lanai (balcony).
The resort is ideally located to explore the Big Island’s extraordinary landscapes. The revered island fringed by sacred mountains is of extreme spiritual significance and has been cherished by the Hawaiian monarchy for centuries.
Visit Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach to witness hundreds of green turtles bask under the glowing sun, trek around Kilauea and glimpse the volcano’s steaming might, or uncover ancient history along the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail.
