About Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
When Laurance Rockefeller founded the Mauna Kea ("white mountain") Beach Hotel in 1965, he said, "Every great beach deserves a great hotel." The resort is situated on a white crescent beach, with the Mauna Kea volcano on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, and has played host to such guests as Jackie Kennedy and Jeanne Moreau. After an earthquake in 2006, the hotel underwent a $150 million dollar renovation and reopened in 2008. The resort has a modern design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Its Japanese shibumi structures are home to more than 1,600 pieces of original Asian art collected by Laurance Rockefeller. As guests arrive, they receive a fresh flower lei, refreshments, and even welcome gifts just for keiki (children.) After playing the links on the 18-hole championship Rees Jones-designed golf course, guests can unwind with a treatment at the Mauna Kea Spa by Mandara.

Activities
The 18-hole championship Mauna Kea golf course was originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., in the 1960s, and recently underwent a restoration helmed by his son, Rees Jones. The course was inaugurated with a match between Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus. Its dramatic highlight is the Third Hole, where waves crash against the shoreline nearby.
Tennis courts and a fitness center are on-site, and guests lounging at the beach and pool can make use of the property's amenities and water sports options. Resort activities include tours of the Asian and Pacific art collected by Laurance Rockefeller, garden tours, Hawaiian culture classes, and stargazing. For the younger set, the Keiki Club, for ages five to 12 years old, provides diversions including beach activities and Hawaiian arts and crafts.
Boutiques and galleries are situated along koi ponds, and guests can watch manta rays "dance" in a nightly ritual. Wedding and event space is available, and guests have access to the sister resort of Hapuna Beach Hotel via a free shuttle service.
