About The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort sits on Kaunaoa Drive in Kamuela, and the stay is built around the shoreline. The resort is beachfront, with sun loungers or beach chairs and sun umbrellas set up for long, lazy hours by the water. When you want a change from the sand, there is an outdoor pool with a view, an infinity pool, a heated pool and a hot tub/Jacuzzi, plus a terrace, a sun terrace and a garden to wander through.

Active travelers have plenty to fill the day. Snorkelling, diving and fishing cover the water side. On land there is cycling, hiking, horse riding, a tennis court and a golf course. The daily resort fee includes one hour of snorkel equipment for two each day, so a morning in the water is easy to arrange. The tour desk can help plan the rest of your time. Walking tours and a tour or class on local culture add a sense of place beyond the beach.

Families are well looked after. The resort has a kids' club, a kids' pool with a shallow end, outdoor play equipment and a games room. Meals include kid meals and a kid-friendly buffet. Dining runs from a restaurant and a snack bar to a coffee shop on site, with room service and breakfast in the room when you would rather stay put. A complimentary dining shuttle takes guests to Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for a change of scene. In the evening, the bar's happy hour, live music or performances and evening entertainment keep things lively.

When it is time to slow down, the spa and wellness center offers massage services, and there is a sauna, a steam room and yoga classes. A fitness center and fitness/spa locker rooms support your routine. Practical touches include a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, a business center, an electric vehicle charging station and parking. Check-out is at 12:00 PM, so you can fit in a final swim before you leave.
