Home | Situated on the sunny Kohala Coast, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel has
defined Big Island luxury since its opening in 1994. As the second
phase in Rockefeller's creation of Mauna Kea Resort, the hotel property
shares 1,839 acres of oceanfront paradise with the legendary Mauna Kea
Beach Hotel. Perfectly nestled into the bluffs above the #1-rated
Hapuna Beach, the hotel presents a flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style
where guests experience the true essence of rejuvenation. A predominant feature of Hapuna is the presence of a series of
underground springs. In ancient times, during seasons of heavy rainfall
these springs would bubble to the surface creating natural artesian
fountains. The resultant streams would provide a source of respite and
renewal for travelers along the otherwise dry and barren Kohala Coast.
Thus the area was named "Hapuna" or "Spring of Life" in the Hawaiian
language. |
