Nestled on the Big Island of Hawai'i’s Kohala Coast, you'll find The Last Resort, a 2-acre property where world travelers, friends and family can make magical memories that last a lifetime. The Last Resort recently completed a large-scale renovation to give guests the perfect blend of luxury and nature. From swinging on our 300-year old Banyan tree, to picking tropical fruits from our orchard, to watching sunsets on your porch - you’ll quickly feel the energy and joy of this corner of the world.
The Banyan House is one of 3 vacation homes on The Last Resort. The first floor’s open concept living room and kitchen is simply grand, and is outfitted with Restoration Hardware and Williams Sonoma. With bay windows looking out onto nature, high-end furnishings, a chef’s kitchen, and an outdoor dining table - you’ll love sharing meals, board games and movie nights at The Banyan House. The first floor also includes a brand new half bath and outdoor rain shower as well as a large back porch.
Upstairs, you’ll find two primary bedrooms - each with a full-size bed and french doors that open onto the second floor porch, which boasts the best views on the property. At the far end of the hallway is a breezy sleeping porch with two additional twin beds. You’ll feel like you’re sleeping in a jungle on this fully-enclosed porch. The bedrooms share a full bath, which features an extra large, dual-head shower.
Banyan House guests get to enjoy a beautiful lawn, covered BBQ area, and a shared laundry room, making it perfect for families to sink in and stay a while. It also includes an adjoining door to the Bamboo Suite, making it convenient for larger groups who want to rent both units for extra space and privacy. To reserve both, view our Banyan Bamboo Combo. Need even more room? Check out The Mango House to rent out the whole property and sleep 15 people!
Please note that we have an on-site property landscaper that may be watering and tending to the lawns, gardens, and orchard near the home during daylight hours.
Our remote and peaceful piece of land is just minutes away from Polulu Valley, one of the most gorgeous hikes on the Big Island, 15 minutes from Hawi town and within easy driving distance to Waimea, Kona and beaches.
