The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

Overlooking the golden sands of Hapuna Beach, this great value property is located in Hawaii’s dry north west, just beyond the town of Waikoloa. With a beautiful beach and agreeable climate this resort is a sun worshipper’s paradise but make time to explore the rest of the island. It is a scenic journey around the island to the incredible Volcanoes National Park, or alternatively head to the nearby Waikoloa heliport to take a stunning scenic flight over the lava flow. The hotel has a gorgeous pool looking out to the beach and ocean beyond and there is also an 18 hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Among the unique attractions of this resort is the opportunity for stargazing. With the observatories of Mauna Kea close by, Big Island is known for its clear night skies. This arid corner of the island has gorgeous night skies and the hotel has its own high-powered telescope staffed by professional astronomers for guests to use. There are 4 restaurants and bars to choose from including the Coast Grille with its stunning ocean views. Rooms are light and modern and each has a private patio or balcony.
