Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona)

Seaside town and the heart of the Kona coast located 15 minutes south of Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport

Located just 15 minutes south of Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) is a lively seaside town in the heart of the sunny Kona Coast. Once a sleepy fishing village and a retreat for Hawaiian royalty, Kailua Village is now a destination for comfortable accommodations, great shopping, dining and learning about Hawaiʻi’s rich culture.

Stroll down the main road of Aliʻi Drive and you’ll find a variety of shops and restaurants. But look closer and you’ll also discover some very important Hawaiʻi Island historic spotsHuliheʻe Palace and the Mokuʻaikaua Church are both located right on Aliʻi Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his later years living at Kamakahonu Bay near Kailua Pier until his passing in 1819. The Ahuʻena Heiau is a temple on the register of National Historic Landmarks. Kailua Pier is a great place to watch the sunset and is also the starting and finishing point of the IRONMAN™ World Championship (October).

Stay in Historic Kailua Village after sunset to experience the nightlife, Hawaiʻi Island style. Listen to live music as you stare out into tranquil Kailua Bay, fueling up on delicious local food for another day of adventure on the island of Hawaiʻi.
