Waikoloa is simply the best of the Big Island of Hawaii

Waikoloa begins with the cool highlands of Hawaii's ranch country on the Big Island of Hawaii, a great and varied land...gifted with natural beauty, enriched by the life and lore of ancient Polynesia. Waikoloa stretches over the lower slopes of Mauna Kea to the sun-drenched shores of the Pacific Ocean. Waikoloa is simply the best of Hawaii.

Waikoloa Village offers residents and visitors unlimited recreational opportunities. With nearly perfect weather year round you can explore wide open spaces on horseback, view spectacular night skies, golf on an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course, built against a back drop of sun, sea and mountains. The village itself is comprised of its own post office, a supermarket, pharmacy, doctors, video and beach gear rental shop, health food store, 2 banks, a clothing shop, an elementary school (grades K-5) and several condominium complexes including the Villas at Waikoloa, Fairways Waikoloa, Waikoloa Village, Paniolo Club, Waikoloa Greens and Elima Lani. Approximately 7000 people live in this growing community.

Within 10 minutes of Waikoloa Village you will find the Waikoloa Beach Resort with its royal fishponds. These ponds had been built and stocked to provide food for the "ali'i" or Hawaiian Royalty long ago. A conservation area fringed by palm trees and cooled by gentle breezes, is an inviting site for a stroll or picnic. Beside the ponds, a crescent of golden sand stretches around the calm waters of a quiet protected bay. You will be able to relax on the beach, swim, sail, snorkel, or skin dive. A few miles offshore is some of the world's best deep sea fishing where fisherman have come halfway around the world to try these waters. Whales migrate every year from December to April.

The Waikoloa Beach Resort also includes the Kings' Shops where you will find several fine restaurants, upscale shopping boutiques, a food court and daily Hawaiian crafts and entertainment. Two signature 18-hole golf courses, the Waikoloa Beach and Kings' Golf Course are also located on the resort. Transportation within the Waikoloa Beach Resort is available for your convenience. The Holoholo Shuttle operates from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. daily with stops at the Waikoloa Kings' Shops, Shores at Waikoloa, Colony Villas, Hilton Grand Vacations Club, The Bay Club and the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Fare is $1.00 each way.
