A Sense of Place

The Experience

Step inside Hale'I'ike, part cultural center, part museum. Located within the piko of the lobby, our 'House of Knowledge,' is where you can immerse yourself in Hawaii’s extraordinary indigenous living culture. This cherished uncle’s living room is alive with Hawaiian art, and history books through the eras of kings, cowboys, and celestial navigators. Come here to “talk story” with Danny Akaka, the resort’s Kahu Hānai and browse the mesmerizing collection of artifacts. If the resplendent portraits of Hawaiian royals don’t spark your imagination, the octopus fishing lures and shark tooth weapons surely will.
