Mauna Kea Villas #21
A serene sanctuary just a short stroll from the iconic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, this newly renovated four-bedroom retreat offers effortless elegance and island luxury. From the moment you arrive, sweeping ocean, coastline, and year-round sunset views invite you to unwind on the expansive private pool deck or beneath the shaded comfort of the lanai. With refined finishes, rich wood details, and calming coastal tones curated by Fine Design Interiors, the open-concept layout flows seamlessly from a regal great room to the gourmet kitchen—creating an ideal space for both entertaining and tranquil relaxation. Designed with every comfort in mind, the villa features central air conditioning, generous natural light, and gentle cross breezes through multiple sliding doors. The primary suite boasts a king bed, private lanai access, a lavish ensuite with indoor and outdoor showers, and striking Mayumi Oda artwork. Three additional bedrooms offer a mix of king, queen, and convertible twin beds—each with their own private courtyard or ocean-view terrace and ensuite bath. Guests also enjoy optional resort privileges at both the Mauna Kea and Westin Hapuna Beach Resorts, unlocking a world of beachside amenities and world-class hospitality.

Excellent time with the family. Easy access to the beach and pool. With the resort pass you can also use the Westin Resort which has the better pool for young kids. The service was excellent as was the food at the restaurants. We definitely plan on doing it again next year.
