Local Lifestyle
Waikoloa Beach Resort is the perfect marriage between a laid-back, beachy community and the ultimate in luxury. As attractive to active retirees keen on honing their golf game as it is to young, bustling families, Waikoloa Beach Resort brims with residents who spend the lion’s share of their time relishing Hawaii’s sublime weather. You’re just as likely to see your neighbor basking on the beach as you are on the next stool during pau hana, or happy hour.
Dining, Shopping & Entertainment
Waikoloa Beach Resort abounds with an array of acclaimed restaurants — so much so you’re certain to find an outstanding eatery no matter what you may be craving. A-Bay’s Island Grill, for one, boasts a menu teeming with delectable, Hawaiian-inspired cuisine. Whether you arrive for a breakfast of loco moco and a pineapple mimosa or indulge in blackened ahi steak and a slice of lilikoi cheesesteak at dinner, you’re bound to be satisfied.
Foster’s Kitchen is another Waikoloa Beach Resort favorite. The beloved venue celebrates the slow food movement by working with local farmers and fishermen to deliver dishes ranging from crab and macadamia nut pesto puff pastries to Kona coffee-rubbed New York strip steak with grilled Maui onions.
Shopping is equally delightful at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. The hamlet is home to the renowned Queens’ Marketplace and Kings’ Shops, high-end, open-air “sibling” plazas filled with art galleries, cafes, and excellent local retailers such as Na Hoku and Martin & MacArthur — an opulent boutique flourishing with handcrafted koa wood designs and exquisite art. Both plazas also frequently feature live performances by supremely talented local musicians.
Things to Do
Life in Waikoloa Beach Resort is best savored outside, particularly at Anaeho’omalu Beach, the glorious wonder that is the community’s heart and soul. The beach’s divine combination of turquoise water, lush greenery, and dramatic black lava rocks are downright heavenly, while its calm waters render it ideal for swimming and snorkeling, especially if you have children in your crew.
Waikoloa Beach Resort is also a short drive away from downtown Kona, a vibrant city flourishing with inviting restaurants and waterfront bars, where you can soak up one of the Big Island’s famous sunsets while relishing a locally-crafted beer or a delicious mai tai.
Golfing is also a treasured pastime for Waikoloa Beach Resort residents, who enjoy games at the immaculate Trent Jones Jr.-designed course at the Waikoloa Golf Club, where spectacular views of the Kohala coastline spool out in several directions.
