Kona Village occupies 82 expansive acres along the Big Island's Kona-Kohala Coast. Once the site of an ancient Hawaiian fishing village the resort is now home to 125 individual thatched-roof bungalows nestled around lush lagoons and beaches of white and black sand. Fronting the marine preserve of Kahuwai Bay guests enjoy snorkeling and diving with spectacular viewing of Hawai'i's dazzling marine life.
Rates include oceanfront dining, a Hawaiian-themed children's program for ages 5 to 12, tennis, fitness center, numerous activities and extensive water sports. A centuries-old petroglyph field of ancient markings reflects the area's history. Kona International Airport is a brief 10-minute drive away and a world apart. Kona Village, a PADI resort, was rated among Hawaii's top 25 hotels by Travel+Leisure Magazine, has appeared numerous times on Conde Nast Traveler's "World's Best Places to Stay" and the magazine's Gold List (most recently in 2008).
