November 20 to January 2
A Barefoot Holiday on the Big Island
The acoustic strums of ukuleles fill the Hālau, where classic holiday tunes mingle with the lively buzz of laughter as another day in paradise begins to unfold. Holiday cookies, warm pastries and 100% Kona coffee pair well with barefoot walks from the Great Lawn to the Surf Shack, a gathering place perched atop expanses of green grass and inviting waters that sparkle. Starry evenings come to life with inspired dinner menus, fireside s’mores and a collective aura of joy as magical moments and time well-spent together set the tone for a very merry holiday on the Island of Hawai’i.
