DESCRIPTION
Welcome to ‘Ikena Nani at Mauna Kea Beach Resort, part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection.
‘Ikena Nani at the Mauna Kea Resort in the Wai'ula'ula complex has private pool and waterfall spa with majestic views of ocean, mountain and golf course as a backdrop. ‘Ikena Nani means beautiful sight and you will know why when you arrive at one of the best locations in the complex. You will be mesmerized from the moment you wake looking at the ocean through the bedroom windows, then during your morning coffee overlooking the ocean on the covered lanai, to the glorious sunset that caps off an amazing day of activities.
This single-level home has no stairs and is a wonderful place for guests and families of all ages.
The Big Island has so much to offer for families, adventure seekers or romantic couples and ‘Ikena Nani is just the place to use as a base whether you’re exploring or simply relaxing and unwinding.
We pride ourselves on providing some of the most sought after homes on the Kohala Coast. We have partnered with the owners of ‘Ikena Nani to provide you with an exquisite home away from home.
The unmatched pairing of one of Hawaii’s premier resorts, set along what we consider the most spectacular beach in the islands, with the comfort of this luxury home creates the perfect backdrop for your Hawaiian escape.
As a guest of the Wai‘ula‘ula community, you’ll enjoy exclusive amenities designed for relaxation and fun. Take a refreshing dip in the stunning infinity-edge pool, let the little ones splash and play in the keiki pool, unwind in the hot tub, or recharge after a workout in the private fitness center—all just steps from your door.
Fast WiFi with great coverage included!
We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We’ve incorporated all our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay!
We love friends & families!
Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend time with your friends, family, children, and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.
‘Ikena Nani is a large 3-bedroom home that is exquisitely furnished with 3 Primary Suites each with their own luxurious bath. This home is perfect for families or three couples looking to share a home while having space, privacy and near equal size rooms and baths.
The first primary suite has a King bed. It has a large ensuite bath with gorgeous high-end cabinets, and frameless glass shower and an outdoor shower and its own entrance to the lanai.
The second primary has a Queen bed. It has a dedicated primary bathroom complete with its own separate and private bathroom with walk in shower.
The third bedroom features two full size beds that can sleep 4 and its own private ensuite bathroom with soaker tub and its own entrance to the lanai.
The airy open concept main room includes kitchen, dining area, great room, and large covered lanai with grill. You can dine indoors or outdoors under a covered lanai while watching the sunset.
The large lanai pocket doors (complete with screens) disappear along two walls into the wall for the complete blend of indoor and outdoor living. Enjoy the amazing private pool and waterfall spa.
County Law requires alarms on all ground-level sliding doors that lead to pool area, in order to prevent doors from being left open indefinitely.
The lanai features comfy chairs and couches for reading, socializing and simply enjoying a refreshing drink while watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean each evening. There is also a large outdoor dining table.
The living room features a large UltraHD 4K TV.
Staying in ‘Ikena Nani gives you access to the Wai'ula'ula gated community recreation center and pool. This recreation center boasts an infinity pool that is to die for, and a kids pool for those with little ones. Lay on loungers in the water, enjoy the hot tub spa or cuddle up with your kids on one of the big orbital day beds. The recreation center also has a fitness center with stunning views of the pools and expansive Hawaii scenery.
Guests love the peace and tranquility of Wai’ula’ula not to mention the great sunsets while being in the Mauna Kea resort.
Soft white sand and warm turquoise waters greet you at both Mauna Kea Beach and Hapuna Beach. All beaches in the State of Hawaii are public and provide for public access.
These two beaches are not over-built with only a single hotel on them and are otherwise surrounded by Hawaii's natural landscape. Abundant parking is available at Hapuna Beach State Park on the south end.
There is limited free public parking at Mauna Kea Beach so it’s good to plan to arrive early for a fun day.
To make the most of these two beaches or explore a multitude of other beaches including white sand beaches, black sand beaches and even a green sand beach we have equipped the home with a large supply of beach goodies for your use at no extra cost.
You will find a collection
- quality Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs
- quality beach umbrellas
- snorkelling gear in various adult and kids’ sizes. We even have a viewing board so little keikis (kids) can see the tropical fish
- boogie boards for catching the wave
- beach wagons, coolers, sand toys and more
For those guests staying at 'Ikena Nani who want the benefits of staying in a luxury private home but also to enjoy an experience as if they were a hotel guest there is an ability to opt into the Mauna Kea Club program. Only guests staying in Mauna Kea resort homes where the owners are members of the Mauna Kea Club have the option of enjoying this option. The program includes charging privileges at two hotels (Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Hapuna Westin), use of each hotel’s pools, beach chairs, and hotel parking. The hotel requires guests who opt in to pay a daily fee per home, not per guest, to the hotel directly. Guests who opt in must sign up for all nights of their stay. Unlike some vacation rental companies, Paradise in Hawaii does not force guests to sign up for the program and pay higher nightly rates. For those guests choosing the Club option, our guest ambassador team will facilitate your registration. Inquire with our team for more details and for pricing. Rates are set by the hotel and are subject to change each year and during certain peak weeks. For guests who want to participate, advance registration is required with the hotel.
The Mauna Kea Resort sets the rates for its Optional Amenity Program. Participation is entirely optional, and fewer than half of our guests choose to enroll.
At this time, rates have only been published for 2026.
The Resort typically updates its pricing annually and does not generally honor or grandfather the previous year's rates into a new calendar year.
As a result, 2027 rates will not be known until they are released by the Resort at the end of the year.
While some guests love the Club experience, many of our guests find that with the free nearby Wai’ula’ula community pool and fitness center along with the public access to the same beaches using our collection of beach gear that signing up for the Club doesn’t make sense. Several past guests have commented there is so much to do on the Big Island that they did not make full use of the optional program.
Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable home, we know it’s often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.
Examples include:
• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoo, conditioner and body wash
• A fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking and BBQ needs
• High-end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks
• Large selection of vinegars, oils, and spices
• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas
• Popcorn
For your day at the Beach:
We love building really big sand castles! Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you’ll find:
• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrellas
• Sand toys and sandcastle making equipment
• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean
• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets and swim belts for the younger ones
• Large wheeled cooler and Tupperware containers for your beach picnic
For those with children:
Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:
• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails
A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Black Sand Beach, Private Beach 69, and of course two of the best beaches in Hawaii right on the resort; Hapuna beach and the breathtaking Mauna Kea beach.
The Kohala Coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of the villa.
Within a 10 minute drive are three high-end shopping complexes, Queens Shops at Waikoloa, Kings Shops and the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.
