Aloha Kākou, As we continue our profound journey towards Mauna Lani’s highly anticipated debut later this year as an Auberge resort, I’m delighted to share the latest news taking place here at the hotel property. Mauna Lani is nearing its completion of an exciting renovation. The all-new, re-imagined luxury hotel will boast contemporary new guest rooms and suites, five private bungalow residences, three distinct pools (adults-only, family and resort style pool), a signature spa and fitness center, the KAINALU Sports program, and the educational Holoholo Kids Crew.

Additionally, Mauna Lani will feature five extraordinary restaurants and lounges - including the return of the iconic CanoeHouse. The new restaurants will include HāLani, Hā Bar, and The Market, offering a culinary destination like no other.

The hotel is also pleased to debut the interactive and immersive Living Culture program led by Danny Akaka, in his newly appointed role of Kahu Hānai. Now in its 22nd year, Danny will also continue the monthly tradition of Twilight at Kalāhuipua’a for guests and residents alike to enjoy long into the future.

These exciting new additions, along with the return of the most beloved aspects of the property, will be anchored by our incredible team who are finally returning home. On behalf of our ‘ohana, we are deeply committed to the people, this special place, and maintaining the warmth and inherent spirit of hospitality one feels here. Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection will officially open to the public on January 15, 2020. I look forward to welcoming you to Mauna Lani!

With warm aloha,

CanoeHouse: Paying homage to Mauna Lani’s storied location, CanoeHouse – the resort’s iconic beachfront restaurant boasting dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean makes its return and transports guests to an inspiring island-style setting. CanoeHouse will continue to celebrate Hawaii’s soulful connection to the land and sea, while infusing artfully prepared cuisine in a reimagined contemporary setting.

HāLani: The resort’s new open-air eatery well-appointed alongside the pool and expansive oceanfront lawn. Rooted in craftsmanship and local sensibility, the restaurant’s collection of master chefs serve up Mediterranean dishes such as grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and homemade pastas all complemented with locally-sourced ingredients.

Hā Bar: The resort’s all-new gathering place to savor fresh, organic cuisine from housemade ceviche to tropical salads and pupus, enjoyed poolside or at the bar. In the evening, enjoy a breathtaking Hawaiian sunset, while sipping an island-inspired beverage or handcrafted cocktail.

The Market: Come one, come all to our new neighborhood cafe, where we proudly serve specialty Kona coffee, wine and local craft beer. We also serve sandwiches, tropical salads, smoothies, sorbet, gelato, and ice cream in our New York-style deli. Perfect for an anytime pick-me-up or beautiful beachside picnic.

Surf Shack: This is the resort’s ultimate toes-in-the-sand, good-vibes eatery, inspired by Hawaii’s iconic surf dens of yesteryear. Blissfully laidback, consider this your go-to casual hangout to fuel up for the day’s adventures, later returning to wind down with our curated selection of wine and beer on tap.

Living Culture: Step inside Hale ‘I‘ike, the House of Knowledge, and immerse yourself in Hawaii’s extraordinary indigenous living culture. This welcoming place is part museum, part cherished uncle’s living room—a showcase of Hawaiian art and history through the eras of kings, cowboys, and celestial navigators. Come here to “talk story” with Danny Akaka, the resort’s Kahu Hānai and browse the mesmerizing collection of artifacts.
