Royal Kona Resort
As oceanfront as it gets
Fabulous views, island charm, and oodles of room to unwind – your chilled-out Hawaiian escape starts here
The Royal Kona Resort is where adventure meets relaxation, all delivered with a side of Hawaiian magic. This oceanfront gem set on lava rock is just steps from Kailua Bay, a sweep of coastline ideal for snorkelling, paddleboarding, or kayaking. Chill by the pool, indulge in fresh seafood at the oceanfront restaurant or get out and about exploring, whether you’ve got the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in your sights, or fancy soaring above the terrain on a helicopter tour. Whatever takes your fancy while you’re here, this is your ticket to an unforgettable Hawaiian getaway, with that elusive blend of fun, adventure, and downtime nailed.
Why we love Royal Kona Resort

It's right on the ocean, giving you easy access to Kailua Bay for swimming, snorkelling, and kayaking. Plus, you’re in a prime spot for whale watching between November and May.
-
The rooms are spacious, with beautiful views that make it hard to leave your balcony, especially if you upgrade to one that faces the ocean.

Whether you're looking for a quick refresh or a full-on chill session, this spa has you covered.
On the other end of the spectrum, staying active is as easy as catching a wave. For tennis enthusiasts, the resort offers four courts three of which are lit for night play if you’d rather play in cooler climes.
