Mauna Lani covers 34 oceanfront acres on the Kohala Coast, with nearly half a mile of shoreline and ancient fishponds on the grounds. Auberge renovated it, and it now feels calm and residential rather than corporate.
CanoeHouse is one of the island's best restaurants, and there are 36 holes of golf. It's a great base for families who want the beach plus easy access to Big Island adventures.
