“The Kona side has the sunshine and the climate is as perfect as weather gets.  The Kohala resort area has the highest number of sunny days anywhere in the state.”

The Waikoloa Beach Resort is a world-class resort area offering fantastic amenities including two championship golf courses, a full service spa & sports club, shopping, and fine dining.

The golf experience at Waikoloa Beach Resort inspires every golfer with bold greens contrasted against rugged lava blacks, the blues of the Pacific beyond, and the brilliant sunshine overhead. Two breathtaking Big Island golf courses wait for your best game. 

Prove yourself at the Beach Course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.  The course was carved through magnificent lava flows and features numerous sand bunkers, brilliant water holes and the most spectacular oceanfront par-five in Hawaii – the 502 yard 12th hole.

Take it to the next level at the Kings’ Course, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish.  Aptly described as a rigorous test of golf skills, this 7,000-plus yard links-style course snakes over and around an ancient lava flow and is best known for its undulating fairways, multiple tee placements, and challenging pot bunkers.

A long time favorite shopping experience, featuring famous name designer shops like Tommy Bahama, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Coach, Baron & Leeds, and L’Occitane.  The Kings’ Shops offers beautiful works of art, fine jewelry, resort wear and much more.  Pick up essentials at Whaler’s General Store or sit down for a leisurely meal at Merriman’s Market Café, Roy’s Waikoloa Bar & Grill, or Island Fish & Chips. Free petroglyph tours, hula performances, Hawaiian music and jazz add to the fun.

The Queens’ Marketplace presents an exciting collection of boutiques,
galleries, shops, and services, plus a diverse Ono Food Court, upscale
restaurants and a full schedule of free Hawaiian cultural activities and entertainment.  Explore stores like Giggles, Blue Ginger Family, Reyn’s, Local Motion, Persimmon, and Sunglass Hut. Or stop at Starbucks or take a break at the King & Queen Salon & Day Spa. The Island Gourmet Market offers is a wonderfully convenient and upscale grocery store with everything to suite your tastes, from gourmet to local-style “grinds.”

The major restaurant and shopping options are located in the Kings’ Shops and Queens’ Marketplace.  Some particulars on each:

The massive Hilton Hotel offers even more shopping & dining options.  Restaurants there include:  Palm Terrace; Kirin; Imari; Lagoon Grill & Donatoni’s
