Hawaii’s Mauna Lani debuts resort-wide US$200m renovation

KALAHUIPUAA, HAWAII — Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection’s first property in the Hawaiian Islands, is reopening its doors today following a US$200 million renovation.

 

Situated on 32 oceanfront acres, the newly reimagined luxury resort is home to 333 guestrooms and suites, five private bungalows, three pools, five restaurants and lounges, a signature spa and two top-ranked golf courses.

 

“The first Auberge resort in Hawaii is an important milestone for our brand and we are excited to bring Auberge’s style of soulful hospitality to a place of such significance on the Island of Hawaii,” said Craig Reid, Chief Executive Officer, Auberge Resorts Collection. “Our renewal of this storied resort will connect guests to the heart of Mauna Lani through intimate new spaces, meaningful experiences and design that is relevant to today’s traveller.”

 

Here are some property highlights:

  •  While all guestrooms come with a private balcony, Mauna Lani Bungalows – each of which is named after a nearby mountain – feature two bedrooms, three baths, a private swimming pool and spa, and butler service
