The Kona Village Resort (also located off Ka'upulehu Drive after mile marker 87), with its 125 Polynesian style thatched-roof bungalows, was first established in 1965. For over four decades, the unpretentious resort has delighted visitors with a "Hawai'i, as it was meant to be" policy,... with no disturbances such as radios, telephones, or televisions allowed on its beautiful 82-oceanfront acres. Reserve now and make sure you also book a seat for the island's best and most authentic luau, held on site at the Kona Village every Wednesday and Friday evening.
