Standing as a landmark of luxury on the Big Island’s golden Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel was founded by conservationist and venture capitalist Laurance S. Rockefeller in 1965, paving the way for tourism on the Kohala Coast. Mr. Rockefeller knew the stunning beach at Kauna‘oa Bay also deserved spectacular golf and exceptional dining to accompany the most exclusive and expensive resort of its day. At Mauna Kea, award-winning mid-century modern design blends seamlessly into the natural environment. Five decades after its founding, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s timeless magic remains legendary. “There is beauty of spirit here, the spirit of Aloha,” Rockefeller said.
