Big Island Resorts for Families<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Big Island of Hawaii<\/a> is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined, which means ample opportunities and space for families to sightsee and explore. But only if you can tear yourself away from these unforgettable Big Island resorts for families stretching along the spectacular Kona-Kohala Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. Stay at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai for Luxury and Exclusive Experiences<\/b><\/h2>\n

Located 10 minutes by car from Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA), Four Seasons Hualalai is the only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond resort on the Big Island. Situated on 865 oceanfront acres, Four Seasons Hualalai is an unforgettable Big Island Resort for families, including mine.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 7 resort pools (8 if you count the Ocean Pool, a reef-protected swimming space), there is a pool for every day of the week and for all stages and ages at Four Seasons Hualalai. The youngest guests splash about in the shallow, white-sand bottom Keiki (Children\u2019s) Pool, families swim and play in the nearby Sea Shell Pool, and nature lovers explore King\u2019s Pond, a 1.8-million-gallon \u201caquarium\u201d home to more than 1,000 tropical fish, including Kainalu, the resident eagle ray.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Design<\/b><\/h3>\n

Blending seamlessly into the natural environment, low-rise wooden guest accommodation fronts the ocean or clusters around the resort pools. Choose from villas for up to 12 guests, suites, or guest rooms set amongst lava rock and surrounded by tropical plantings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Insider tip:<\/strong> Request a ground-floor room or suite for an orchid-filled outdoor shower. Guest rooms near the Sea Shell Pool are popular with families because of the close proximity to the family pool, sandy beach, \u2018Ulu restaurant for breakfast, and the complimentary Kids For All Seasons (KFAS) program.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids Club<\/b><\/h3>\n

Four Seasons Hualalai\u2019s fully supervised, complimentary KFAS program is available year-round for kids ages 5 to 12 and is a massive hit with travelling families. Seasonal programs with off-resort adventures and excursions are available for children ages 9 to 17. KFAS operates from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and offers swimming, arts and crafts, sports, and educational activities for kids, while parents enjoy Hualalai\u2019s many experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from relaxing at the beach or numerous pools, guest activities include playing 18 holes on the championship Jack-Nicklaus-designed golf course, paddling a Hawaiian outrigger along the coast with the Alaka\u2019i Nui water-sports team, soaking up a wellness treatment at the spa, working out at the outstanding indoor-outdoor fitness facility, or swinging a racket (or paddle) at the Hualalai Sports Club. Although the Big Island beaches, hiking trails, and volcanoes beckon, it is legitimately difficult to leave Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. Mauna Lani Auberge Collection for Hawaiian History and Culture<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mauna Lani, located on the Kohala Coast, is about 25 minutes by car from KOA. Set on 34 oceanfront acres with almost a half-mile of coastline, as well as the ancient Kalahuipua\u2019a site, Mauna Lani offers guests modern luxury along with an opportunity to learn about Hawaiian culture and glimpse Hawaii\u2019s past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mauna Lani\u2019s Hale \u2018I\u2019ike (\u201cHouse of Knowledge\u201d), the resort\u2019s cultural center and museum, provides an immersive Hawaiian experience. Guests can make leis, listen to stories from local experts like Uncle Danny Akaka, and take a guided tour of the Kalahuipua\u2019a site\u2019s lava tubes, petroglyphs, and six major fishponds. The Kalahuipua\u2019a Fishponds existed before the earliest contact, and Hawaiians used them to raise fish. This historic site is open to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Insider tip:<\/strong> When you walk past the wooden grate system that separates the ponds from the ocean, take a look into the pond for tiny, vibrant yellow tangs, eels, and spotted puffer fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Design<\/b><\/h3>\n

The six-story Mauna Lani hotel is designed around an open-air lobby, and guests can choose from a selection of rooms or suites, with 90% offering an ocean view. For an exclusive experience, stay in one of Mauna Lani\u2019s two-bedroom residences with a gourmet kitchen and private outdoor pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to three resort swimming pools \u2013 Resort, Adult, and the shallow Keiki \u201cSandy Bottom\u201d kids\u2019 pool, there is a swimmable cove fronting Mauna Lani. The Surf Shack at Mauna Lani Beach Club has snorkel equipment, SUPs, and more for all the fun in the Pacific Ocean. The Kainalu Watersports team is on hand for any assistance and lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids Club<\/b><\/h3>\n

Holoholo Kids Crew, Mauna Lani\u2019s complimentary kids club, is open to children ages 5 to 12, subject to availability, and reservations are required in advance. Activities with Holoholo Kids Crew focus on nature, adventure, art, and learning about Hawaiian culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the kids are exploring Mauna Lani with new friends, parents can explore the extensive Mauna Lani Resort offerings, including 36 holes of championship golf at the Mauna Lani Golf Club, racquet sports at the nearby Tennis Garden, or treatments at Auberge Spa.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Autograph Collection for the Best Beach Vacation<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first resort hotel on the island of Hawaii, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel by Marriott, is located on Kauna\u2018oa Bay, which is arguably the best beach on the Big Island. Located further up the Kohala Coast, the resort is about 30 minutes by car from KOA. The turquoise-coloured water, lava rock, ranchland, and expansive crescent-shaped beach inspired Laurance S. Rockefeller to build a hotel that blended with the natural surroundings. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel opened in 1965 and continues to host multiple generations of the original guests to stay at this iconic, family-friendly property.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Design<\/b><\/h3>\n

Designed to incorporate Hawaii\u2019s natural environment, the mid-century modern structure lets ocean breezes flow through, providing cooling, and sunlight filters through the openings, bringing the outside in.<\/span><\/p>\n

An extensive $200 million revitalization of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is nearing completion, with only the new Wellness Spa remaining and scheduled for completion by mid-2026. Guest rooms and suites in the multi-story Main Tower and lower-rise Beach Wing have been redesigned and enhanced as part of the revitalization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The original circular pool has been refreshed, and a new adults-only infinity-edge lap pool has been constructed adjacent to a new fitness center. Both pools at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel overlook gorgeous Kauna\u2018oa Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mauna Kea Beach Club fronts Kauna\u2019oa Bay and is the place to go for towels and chairs on the beach, as well as beach gear, including snorkels, fins, SUPs, ocean kayaks, and bodyboards (boogie boards). The expansive white sand beach and rolling waves make it a popular place for families, including mine, to bodyboard. It is recommended that guests check with the Beach Safety Team before entering the Pacific Ocean. After sunset, it is possible to view manta rays from the shore at Manta Ray Point, where spotlights attract plankton, and the manta rays come in to feed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Insider tip:<\/strong> Book a guest room in the Beach Wing for the easiest access to the beach and pools, with ground-floor rooms offering direct access to the lawn, on-site pools, and beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kids Club<\/b><\/h3>\n

Mauna Kea Keiki Club Adventures is a daily, supervised program for children ages 5 to 12. Full and half-day rates are available, but reservations are required, and space is limited. Keiki Club Adventures includes swimming, shoreline explorations, sports, and art and cultural activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beach is the main attraction at Mauna Kea Resort, but it\u2019s not the only reason to visit. The welcoming, long-serving staff truly embody and practice aloha \u2018aina \u2013 love of the land, the ocean, and the island\u2019s people \u2013 which is why generations of families continue to return to Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. The award-winning 18-hole Mauna Kea Golf Course is stunning and recently underwent a major renovation led by Robert Trent Jones Jr., son of the original golf course designer. If you prefer to swing rackets or paddles, Mauna Kea Resort\u2019s Seaside Racquet Club, recognized as one of the top tennis resorts in the world, boasts oceanfront tennis and pickleball courts. For something a bit more relaxing, explore the hundreds of museum-quality artworks collected by hotel founder Laurance S. Rockefeller and displayed throughout the property. With the opening of the Wellness Spa in 2026, guests will have even more to experience at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On top of that, all the photos come out great. We love how she first asked what we like to have in the photos and really put our preference into the photos. She has an good taste too.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
