Kona Village, Hawaii’s only Hawaiian style destination resort offers a variety of locations for innovative and memorable group events, executive retreats and corporate meetings. Here on the Big Island’s sunny Kona-Kohala Coast are 82 tropical acres hugging the sandy shore of Kahuwai Bay. With just 125 individual thatched roof bungalows, the resort is an unplugged, experiential retreat free of telephones, televisions, and radios.  Unmatched snorkeling and diving with spectacular viewing of Hawaii’s dazzling marine life brings dreams to reality.  Staff at Kona Village is committed to providing guests an incomparable Pacific Island experience while sharing traditions of `ohana (family), malama (caring) and aloha.

Group rates at Kona Village include oceanfront dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily including our twice-weekly luau.  Additionally, room rates include complimentary use of our well-equipped fitness center, tennis facilities, and selected beach activities such as snorkel gear and kayaks.

Group Dining at the Village
Kona Village is the only resort in Hawaii to offer inclusive meals (Full American Plan) in two oceanfront dining rooms, Hale Moana and Hale Samoa.  Credits for all meals can be applied toward exclusive private catered events for groups. Award-winning Executive Chef Mark Tsuchiyama is recognized for weaving the flavors of the Pacific with French Polynesia for tantalizing results.

It’s Everything Your Group Needs
With the natural sandy beach of Kahuwai Bay, tranquil lagoons, and a centuries-old petroglyph field, Kona Village is an ideal setting. Two freshwater swimming pools, sailboats, kayaks, outrigger canoes, and some of the best snorkeling and diving create further diversion. Three lighted tennis courts, a Fitness Center, and Spa offering island inspired treatments add to a long list of activities.

And then some...
Our complimentary cultural activities and keiki (children’s) programs*, fresh flower lei greeting, and tropical beverage at check-in signal the relaxed pampering that guests relish. In every bungalow, guests find complimentary refrigerated beverages.  Daily in-room service to replenish sodas, water, juices and Kona coffee.
*Children’s program available daily except during May & September.

The Perfect Space for the Perfect Un-Meeting
Kiss the Boardroom (“bored room”) goodbye and join your colleagues on the beach, on the grass, or at any one of our exceptional locations for company meetings and teambuilding activities. A group event held at Kona Village is the definition of retreat.

  • Hale Ho`okipa  Home to our Wednesday and Friday evening luau, this space is configured on two levels; the upper level is 2,820 SF (47X60) and lower level is 1,464 SF (24X61).
  • Hale Samoa  This is an elegant beachfront dining room by night and features 1,315 SF (47X28) of interior space. It is available for private dinners of 80 persons on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and any time for daytime gatherings of up to 100 people, theatre-style. The Hale Samoa lawn provides an elegant outdoor dining venue that is perfect for watching the spectacular Kona sunsets.
  • Kahua Lawn  This manicured expanse (7,500 SF) is dominated by a two story cascading waterfall and lush perimeter landscaping. A permanent stage and private location make it ideal for theme parties of any kind, or Kona Village specialties such as a night of stargazing with world-renowned astronomer, Jon Lomberg.
  • Kipukai Beach  An intimate black sand beach that will accommodate up to 25 persons for exclusive banquets in an unforgettable setting. Enhance any event with the “talk story” of Aunty Lani or Aunty Lei, recounting legends of Kahuwai Bay and Old Hawaii.

Out-of-the-Box Team Building Hawaiian Style
Attendees gain new insights into their organization, their team, and themselves as they test themselves in a new paradigm - ancient values of courage, responsibility, resourcefulness, and teamwork that shaped the first voyagers who had to learn to paddle together over vast oceans to reach these islands, the most isolated islands in the world.  Teambuilding exercises including outrigger canoe racing, world class deep sea fishing, and Hawaiian culturally based fitness activities create the template for fulfilling corporate meetings and executive retreats.

Group Rates
At Kona Village, you are our treasured guests.  Your small group is very important to us; you will not be lost in the midst of large groups and conventions. All negotiated rates at the Village are based on the specific dates and size of your group. Special rates are available for groups as small as 8 bungalows per night.
