Location. Located on a thirty-acre slope overlooking Kahului Bay, the Kona Hawaiian Village enjoys a convenient setting in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. The Kailua Village shopping center is just two blocks from the property, as are fantastic beaches for sunning, surfing and snorkeling. Part of the allure of the Big Island is its contrasting geology. Active volcanoes, shimmering waterfalls, snowcapped mountains, tropical rainforests, a glacial lake and miles upon miles of golden, black, white and even green-sand beaches occupy an area smaller than the state of Connecticut. Guided walking tours of the historic Kailua-Kona area make great daytime excursions, and there are plenty of recreational pursuits available, including scuba diving, horseback riding, kayaking, golfing and parasailing.
