ALOHA HUALĀLAI ‘OHANA ,

E KOMO MAI (WELCOME). For Hualālai, 2023 has already proven to be a dynamic and eventful year, and we’re excited for what’s to come as we continue to improve the amenities and programming that make your stay so memorable.

Years ago, we created Hualālai magazine to showcase the best of our iconic Resort and the incredible experiences available to our Members and guests, and this issue does just that. The publication’s editorial team has curated a thoughtful mix of in-depth features and other contents, and we hope you’ll learn more about Hualālai through these stories of the people, places, and pursuits here.

In the following pages, we give you an insider’s tour of a renovated villa, spotlighting an interior designer’s stunning family retreat at Hualālai. We introduce our eagerly awaited new private charter boat, Alaka‘i Nui. Helmed by our esteemed Alaka‘i Nalu (Leaders of the Waves), the 46-foot center console catamaran will allow Hualālai Members and Resort guests to explore by private charter more of the beautiful Kona-Kohala coast than ever before. We also celebrate the Hualālai Sports Club’s opening of the Healing and Recovery Lounge, a full recovery suite offering acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, and other therapies for post-workout wind-downs.

We’re proud to highlight a question and answer–style feature with our new cultural manager, Ka‘ai ‘ōhelo McAfee-Torco, who discusses her devotion both to sharing the Hawai ‘i Islands’ language and culture and to providing new programs at the Resort’s Ka‘ūpūlehu Cultural Center.

New and notable dining experiences are also a focus in this issue. Members can now enjoy dinner at Hualālai Canoe Club, thanks to the venue’s expanded hours and offerings, and both Members and Resort guests can savor the dishes of Hualālai Grille’s new menu. Members are also invited to partake of our Golf Hale Socials—held at the Hualālai Golf Hale—which often feature artisan pizzas from the James Beard Award–winning chef Ken Forkish.

We’re also happy to note that the back nine of our Members-only Ke‘olu Golf Course is being changed to paspalum grass to match the course’s newly renovated front nine and should be ready for play by November. This will give our Members the option to play two outstanding courses at Hualālai: Ke‘olu and the championship Hualālai Golf Course. Additionally, we expect to have approval for our Ihoikai subdivision shortly, which will put 12 custom lots on the market.

We hope that this issue of Hualālai inspires you and makes your stay with us even more meaningful.

Mahalo nui loa,
