The Kaawa Loa Plantation House overlooks shining Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii's Kona Coast. This small farm and hotel is coated in 'Kona snow' coffee cherry blossoms during the spring, and fresh tropical breezes blow year round. Visitors will enjoy the fiery sunset and the colors it casts over the lush mountainside. High in the mountains yet minutes from the beach, the plantation and its crops capture the essence of the island.
Many hotels along the Kona Coast advertise their working farm status, but the plantation offers a truly spectacular range of exotic fruits: white pineapple, dragon fruit, jaboticaba, and Hawaiian noni, to name but a few. The rustic orchards are augmented by spa amenities like the hot tub, cedar steam room, and outdoor showers crafted from lava rock found in the Hawaiian islands. Guests who want to try a little cooking while on vacation can use the gourmet kitchen or barbecue grill.
There are five guest rooms at the plantation, four with private baths and all featuring an island design motif. The views are exquisite and offer either ocean vistas for excellent sunset watching or the bright flourishing gardens. Internet service is available in the rooms, as are fluffy bathrobes. The Kaawa Loa Suite has a large king size bed and oversized private bathroom. The separate cottage has a kitchenette and is decorated in soothing green shades.
The best way to enjoy a holiday in Hawaii is to sample as much of the local delights as possible. The wonderful orchards and laid-back island life at Kaawa Loa Plantation House offer the best cross-section of small town agricultural life in Hawaii.
Price range: Rooms start at $125 per night for single and double occupancy.
