About Our Location

Kalani is located on 120 acres of tropical beauty on the southeast coast of Hawaii Island, also known as "the Big Island". Our retreat is a 45 minute drive from the airport in Hilo, or a 2.5 hour drive from the airport in Kona.

Hawaii is less crowded and less commercial than other Hawaiian islands, and offers a variety of spectacular natural attractions. Kalani is located near Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, where fire goddess Pele expands the island daily. The dramatic lava cliffs of the Kalani coastal area provide for close-up views of turtles and dolphins and seasonal whale watching. The cliff also provides a haven for sunbathing, meditation or yoga.

Nearby attractions include:

natural black sand beach (clothing optional), frequented by dolphins
Volcanoes National Park, where lava has been actively flowing since 1983
lava tube cave
tidal pools for splashing and snorkeling
natural steam baths
bays for fishing and kayaking
spectacular waterfalls
an ancient forest of lava tree molds
historic villages and farmers' markets
botanical gardens, and anthodium and orchid farms

You can visit attractions on your own or as part of a guided Kalani adventure.

Kalani enjoys Hawaii's ideal climate: light ocean breezes, sunny days, pleasant year-round temperatures (65-85°F) and occasional tropical showers.
