The Big Island of Hawaii is well known for its amazing coastlines and stunning vistas. But this multi-faceted island also features a rich interior, with a vibrant volcano, charming hamlets, and the award-winning bed and breakfast, Kalaekilohana. Recalling Hawaii's plantation days, the inn's genteel architecture houses just four lavish suites rich with local hardwoods that add an elegant homey touch. Designer beds, french doors opening onto panoramic balconies, and cascading rain showers make quite an impression in each flower-perfumed space. A stay at Kalaekilohana Hawaii Bed and Breakfast always includes a hearty dose of Hawaiian hospitality and comfort, so be prepared to be catered to. You may even arrange luxurious spa treatments. Get ready to really escape the outside world â€" the inn creates a television-free environment, meaning you can toss the remote control and rediscover the art of chatting on the spacious veranda.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at this private hotel in the south of Big Island. The meals were great and each was specially prepared for us by a master chef, using local ingredients. Our hosts gave us useful tips on how to spend our days. This included going to a local National park that we hadn't heard of. The walk up through the old farmland to vantage points and seeing the remains of the farm was amazing and a highlight of our two weeks on Big Island. They also gave us tips on when and how to see Green Beach (go early!) which was a great half day. They also gave us tips on going up the lower part of the east side of the island - some places to see and cafes etc. All in all this was an excellent combo of high quality dining, great big days out, stimulating conversation with our hosts and a luxury room plus indoor and outdoor spaces to unwind in.

Exceptional in every way. We have travelled all over the world and you just don’t get this level of experience and service anywhere much these days. Genuine authentic Hawaiian hospitality, and having a drink with the wonderful Hawaiian hosts is a memory we shall forever cherish. You know when you get back from my vacation and you have perhaps one or two lasting memories? This for sure is the one.

Staying with Kilohana and Kenny was, without hesitation, the highlight of my trip. Their welcoming nature, the special inn they have built and tend, the land, the art, the music, and the food -- I felt so connected and excited being there. It felt like a little bit of magic. The meals were stunning: plated deliciousness with healthy, local, tasty food, by a professional chef. The room was so comfortable and unique. Their travel recommendations were brilliant: they told us to get up at 4 to see the volcano rupture, and they were absolutely right. A true pleasure being there, and I hope to visit again.

Welcoming and gracious hosts, fabulous food, beautiful surroundings, lovely and comfortable rooms. Staying at Kalaekilohana Inn was absolutely a highlight of our trip! Many thanks to Kenny and Kilohana for a memorable visit. We will never forget your warm hospitality!

Stay here. The only regret is we only had 2 nights. The highpoints to consider are the location as a base for the south side of island, the house, the food (must eat dinner), but mostly the hosts, Kenny and Kilohana. We've stayed in many places, but never had such pleasant evenings. Mahalo again to Kenny and Hilohana. Couple over 50, Ocean Room
