If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping the crowds and truly experiencing Hawaii the way it was meant to be—peaceful, authentic, and deeply connected to nature—then let me introduce you to one of the Big Island’s best-kept secrets: Kaʻawa Loa Plantation.
This isn’t your typical resort stay. It’s something better.
☕ Where Coffee, Culture, and Calm Come Together
Nestled in the heart of the Kona Coffee Belt, Kaʻawa Loa Plantation is a charming bed & breakfast and working coffee and tropical fruit farm located just south of Kailua-Kona. Perched at about 1,200 feet above sea level, it offers breathtaking views overlooking Kealakekua Bay—one of the most historically and naturally significant spots in Hawaii.
This is where mornings don’t start with alarms—they start with ocean breezes, birds singing, and a fresh cup of Kona coffee.
🌿 A Stay That Feels Like Hawaii Should
Unlike large resorts, Kaʻawa Loa Plantation delivers a more intimate, immersive experience:
- 🌴 Lush tropical gardens with fruit trees, orchids, and towering eucalyptus
- 🌊 Sweeping ocean views from peaceful lanais
- 🛁 Outdoor showers, hot tub, and sauna with a view
- 🍍 Fresh island breakfasts with local ingredients
- 🏡 A relaxed, home-like atmosphere where you can truly unwind
Guests consistently describe it as serene, beautiful, and unforgettable—a place where you slow down and reconnect.
🌊 Location, Location… Perfection
One of the biggest advantages of staying here is the location.
You’re just minutes from:
- 🐠 Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay (some of the best in Hawaii)
- 🏛️ Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park
- ☕ Kona coffee farms and tastings
- 🥾 Scenic hiking trails and coastal adventures
This area was once a thriving royal center of Hawaiian life, home to chiefs and sacred sites—adding a rich cultural layer to your stay.
🍽️ Start Your Day the Island Way
Breakfast here isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience.
Think:
- Fresh tropical fruit

- And, of course… incredible Kona coffee
It’s the kind of morning that sets the tone for your entire day.
