Hawaii Island Retreat is boutique eco-lodge set on dramatic oceanfront cliffs in North Kohala on Hawaii Island. Designed to honor and work with the land, this property has been on the leading edge of sustainable, culturally sensitive, wellness-oriented hospitality since its opening in 2008.

Special permits allow for five acres of the 14.5 acre parcel to be used for the hotel and spa facilities, with the remainder of the land in orchards, gardens, and tropical and indigenous landscaping. Guests are welcome to enjoy the entire property, and a shoreline access trail allows guests to hike in both directions.

Over the years the Retreat has acquired a devoted clientele of workshop and corporate leaders who book the entire resort for their groups. In between group bookings, rooms are available to individual travelers. Guest value the privacy, natural setting, and location in the historic Kohala area, birthplace of Kamehameha I.

A variety of room types include individual bungalows, lodge guest rooms with luxurious baths and private balconies, and yurts nestled into the tropical foliage.

A family-run business since its inception, Hawaii Island Retreat is looking for its next steward to continue to the tradition of hospitality. As one recent guest review says “This place has no equal.”

The offering is for both the real property and the assets of the business including future bookings.
