Villa Lava at Mauna Lani Resort w/ Keyless Entry and Private Beach Club Access!

ALOHA! Immerse yourself in an authentic Big Island vacation experience while staying at our beautiful Tommy Bahama inspired ‘Villa Lava’, located in the private gated luxury community of the Fairways at the Mauna Lani Resort on the majestic Kohala Coast. The Mauna Lani Resort is a private oasis built around 7 ancient fish ponds (known as the Kalahuipua'a ponds) and located 22 miles north of the Kona Int'l Airport, near the Big Island’s best white sand beaches--including Hapuna (best boogie boarding!), Mauna Kea (picture perfect w/ free night-time Manta sighting), secluded and rustic Mau’umae Beach, and Makaiwa Bay, which is a protected cove with spectacular coral formations with TONS of fish and snorkeling on par with Captain Cook/Kealakekua Bay and a perfect place for stand-up-paddle-boarding and safe swimming for all ages! Best of all, your stay allows you access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club located at Makaiwa Bay, which includes restrooms, outdoor showers, drinking water, as well as Beach Club resort amenities including free lounge and private cabana seating (arrive early!) and oceanfront dining and cocktails at Napua Restaurant (reservations recommended!) The Fairways at Mauni Lani offers lots of walkable sunset experiences including two 5-star resort hotels: the Fairmont Orchid with 6 restaurants and the Mauna Lani Hotel, with 5 restaurants, and Holoholokai Beach Park w/ restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and BBQ grills!

As a guest you will have access to the Mauna Lani Resort amenities which include:
Two 18 hole championship ‘Troon’ golf courses (Note: South course was formally the Senior Skins Game!) as well as a 9 hole par 27 wikiwiki course!
Private Mauna Lani Beach Club with cardkey access for free parking
Mauna Lani Sports & Fitness Club and Mauna Lani Tennis Shop (addl’ fees involved)

The Fairways well-appointed pool area amenities include:

The LAUNDRY AREA--with granite countertop including a high efficiency LG washer and dryer--and the POWDER ROOM are located on the main floor.
Enjoy the secure custom code KEYLESS front door entry feature. No need to worry about losing house keys in the sand, and we can set the code to a number of your choosing!

FREE wireless hi-speed internet is provided for your convenience! How fast? 4 simultaneous Zoom calls…..We both worked remotely while our 2 daughters went to school remotely for one month and we had zero technical issues!

Beach fun: You will surely enjoy the beach goodies in the garage for your use such as beach towels, beach cooler, beach toys, beach chairs & umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and a wagon style beach cart to help you schlep the gear to the beach! Plenty of room in the garage to dry off your towels, store your suitcases, etc.

Mahalo!

Amazing Stay - just need more days!!!

Our whole family loved our stay. The villa had everything you would need and was set up amazingly well for young kids - comfortable beds, great pool, good AC and reliable WiFi. The Beach Club down the road was a great place for snorkelling and beach time. Shops are close by for essentials. Janine was a great host and I can’t wait to book again!

Probably bit more than one person needs, but the price was great for the location. It is very central to all our favourite beaches & resorts, and the Mauna Lani shops include a Foodland which makes grocery shopping a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

Great Family Vacation!

Our family of 4 loved this property so much! They do a great job of stocking it with everything you need (beach supplies, appliances, laundry detergent) so it makes it easy to travel light. The house is well maintained and has a lovely view of a garden. It’s also steps away from the community pool which was great for our two young kids. We were also impressed with the communication; the house came with a helpful manual as well as well labeled without being too intense. We would definitely stay here again!

Staying in paradise

We (family of four, two adults, kids 10 and 7) stayed at the Villa Lava for a week. It is a wonderful place, the location is great to the beaches and also to the little shopping mall nearby. We loved the property, very spacious and well maintained. The kids enjoyed the pool and made some friends while we were staying there. We are already making plans to come back next year.

Beautifully Appointed in Great Location

Villa Lava is an extremely well appointed gem that is perfect for a get away! From the moment we walked in we felt all of the comforts of home. The bedrooms are very comfortable and welcoming. The spot is quiet and close to the community pool and gym. We loved the walkability to the nearby shopping center and resorts and the proximity to the best beaches on the Big Island. Plus the garage is stocked with snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Highly recommended !

Family Vacation

We rented this property for our son and his family and we rented a nearby unit for ourselves. It was perfect, beautiful setting, such a comfortable, well equipped unit. Great place for kids as they were close to the pool. Janine is such a great host and answered all the questions we had, mostly about activities for younger kids( our granddaughters are 3 & 6). Our 6 yr old’s comment at the end of the visit was “This is what I’ve dreamed about my whole life!” We hope to return next year and make this a family tradition.

Christmas at Villa Lava was Amazing

Our family of four - my wife and I and 2 teens (15 and 13) stayed at Villa Lava for 9 days over Christmas 2023. Everything was perfect. The condo is great and exactly as shown in the listing. Check in was great and easy. The condo is right by the pool which we used most days after our excursions. We love the private beach club and the location to restaurants and beaches. The owner checked in on us often to make sure everything was running smoothly and was easy to contact. She provided great tips for arriving, things to do and places to see. We had the best time staying here on the Big Island and highly recommend it. We loved it!

This was a great place to stay, beautiful grounds and talk about quiet!! So, peaceful, the 2 1/2 bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked with spices and utensils. We didn't cook, but we enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker. Parking was just a few yards away. Communication with the owner was great, they reached out to us to make sure things were satisfactory. They even gave us a dining recommendation in the area. This area of the island is very relaxing, a 10 minute walk up or down the street to the grocery and a quite a few restaurants. If you want chaos and stimulation stay close to Kailua Kona. I would recommend staying here for sure.

All you need is your swimsuit

From the beginning Janine and Andrew were top notch hosts. Emails with suggestions and reminders to book fun activities early, volcano updates, and a text upon arrival in case of immediate issues ( there weren't any). Quiet complex, great pool and spa, spacious condo, and 2 minutes from groceries and restaurants. The beach club was the perfect spot for morning snorkeling and the life guard was very attentive to a small accident we had there. So thankful we had a chance to stay here.
