Location: Palm Villas, Mauna Lani, Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA (15 minute walk to the Mauna Lani Beach Club) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Hale Malino is a relaxing and stylish 1100 sq. ft. luxury condo located in the Palm Villas at Mauna Lani. It is beautifully decorated with comfortable Asian and modern furniture. We have added that special Hawaiian touch with original artwork from local artists Patrick Rankin, Darrell Hill, Gary Ackerman, Dietrich Varez and Brad Lewis.
Hale Malino is equipped with top-of-line items throughout. We love to cook, so the gourmet kitchen has GE Monogram appliances; All-Clad stainless steel cookware; Henkel knives; a Waring Blender; a Cuisinart food processor; and plenty of porcelain dishes, cutlery and glassware. On the lanai, the Thermador BBQ grills fresh fish and Big Island beef to perfection. The media center has a 32" Sony Bravia HDTV, a BOSE stereo for CDs and iPods, and hi-speed wireless internet access. All the sheets and towels are 100% cotton, with hypo-allergenic goose down or foam pillows. Every effort has been made to appoint our condo in quiet, comfortable, understated luxury.
The Mauna Lani Beach Club is a 15-minute walk away, on a paved trail that leads through an Historic Preserve and ancient fishponds. Enjoy excellent snorkeling at this easily accessible bay, with lifeguard, chaise lounges and clubhouse. Private beach parking is also available for guests.
Across the street is the Mauna Lani Health and Fitness Club, with tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, and a 25-meter lap pool. Next door is the world-famous Mauna Lani Spa, with its open-air Hawaiian village setting, perfect for a soothing "Fire and Ice" massage.
The Shops at Mauna Lani are also within walking distance, with restaurants, a coffee shop, an ice cream parlor, and a newly opened gourmet supermarket. Foodland Farms carries freshly caught fish, grass-fed Big Island beef, locally grown fruits and vegetables, as well as prepared foods. Since it's open until 11PM, you can spend the day at the beach or Scuba diving without a care, and still easily whip up a great dinner.
All of these amenities are within walking distance from the Palm Villas, making it a most convenient location. Bordered by an Historic Preserve and the Mauna Lani North Course, it is also one of the most secluded complexes in the resort. With only 9 buildings and 44 units spread over 6 acres, it is the lowest density condo complex at Mauna Lani. And our condo is perfectly situated within the Palm Villas. Far from the street, surrounded by lava outcroppings and lush landscaping, Hale Malino is a perfect place to unwind in comfort, privacy and style.
Mauna Lani Resort was named one of "World's Top Earth-Friendly Getaways" by Conde Nast Traveler magazine in their January, 2008 issue. The award winning Big Island green resort was recognized as one of the world's top luxury, eco-friendly beach destinations, and is the only beach resort in the U.S. named in the collection.
We have furnished our unit with responsibly forested hardwood furniture, natural fibers, and energy-saving appliances. There is built-in air-conditioning, but we find that the cross-breeze combined with the shady location keep the condo naturally cool. The common areas, the entry and lanai are tiled to also keep everything clean and cool.
This is our home away from home, and we love spending time here soaking in the beauty of the Big Island. We have tried to pay close attention to every detail to make Hale Malino as comfortable and relaxing as possible. We hope to share it with you as well.

Why the Owner Chose Palm Villas
"You can walk to the beach." It's true. We looked at many other properties. When debating our various real estate choices with a close friend of mine, she kept repeating: "From the Palm Villas, you can walk to the beach." Enough said.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The Fire and Ice massage at the Mauna Lani Spa; the cold towels after a round of golf on either the North or South Course; shore diving in Puako; sunset MaiTai's at the CanoeHouse; the fresh cinnamon buns at Foodland Farms; the Huli-Huli Chicken and fresh fish from Kawaihae Harbor.
The ML Beach club is a sandy cove lined with palm trees and lounge chairs. It offers easy entry, a healthy coral reef and abundant tropical fish just offshore.
Enjoy championship tennis courts, a 25 meter lap pool, and a full workout facility. Have a "Fire and Ice" massage at the Spa. Daily or monthly rates apply.
Abbey Vacation Rentals office is here, as well as restaurants (Tommy Bahamas, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse), and a gourmet supermarket, Foodland Farms, that is open daily from 5AM-11PM.
It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk along a paved trail through this Nature Preserve and shady fishponds. Reward yourself with a lilikoi margarita at the Beach Club for your efforts.

We just spent a fabulous week here at the Hale Malino. What a lovely condo in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed the trail through the Lava Field and had some very good snorkelling at the Beach Club. We appreciated all the ammenities such as the cooler backpack, snorkel gear, towels, etc. The condo itself was beautiful and very well appointed. We like the art chosen for the various rooms. And the location of the condo within the complex was perfect! We would definitely come back again. Thank you.

Aloha, We absolutely loved our time here - you have a great home. I LOVE what you have done with the condo (decorations, games, books, music, recipes, kitchen tools). It made our stay feel like HOME. We can't wait to return. I am getting a domino set like that when I get home. Mahalo, Anna & Steve PS.

Hale Malino far surpassed our expectations. We appreciated the dining and activity suggestions. The location of the Palm Villas is perfect - never tired of the stroll down "the lane" and through the fishponds of Mauna Lani to the Beach. Mahalo, The Myers

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful place. We loved your home, and enjoyed everything you offered. Amazing selections of CDs, and books, convenient backpacks, beach mats, etc. This was a perfect place for us (Mom and Dad, and my husband and I) to explore the Big Island for the first time. We will come back! Mahalo

Dear Greg, We are back again, this is my first day in the office, and I can’t say I like it. After 2 weeks on the north shore, 1 week on the Big Island, and a short stopover in Los Angeles, life is hard as usual. But we had a great time, anyway, both Oahu and Hawaii presenting their best: big waves at the Bonzai pipeline (14-18 feet, not for swimming) and lava excitement, as well as the peace of Mauna Kea beach. What a special experience - very impressive! As was your apartment: we have never had such a superb place to live in. Everything well thought-out, aesthetic, comfortable, generous, marvelous. It will take some time to get there again, but I can’t imagine a better place. You were absolutely successful in creating an atmosphere of well-being and luxury in a world of its own. Outstanding. Congratulations. Thank you for Hale Malino. Helmut
