About this property

A Favorite with Everyone!

POOL/SPA CLOSURE FOR RESURFACING SEPT 7 TO OCT 4, 2025.  PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS IS STILL AVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME.  We can’t wait to welcome you to this exceptional property located at the world renowned Mauna Lani Resort. The Palm Villas is a small, gated complex nestled between the 17th fairway and a historical preserve. With only 44 units in this complex, you can be sure of a peaceful and relaxing stay away from the crowds in larger, more heavily populated areas. The Palm Villas has its own waterfall pool, hot tub and exercise room. If you need more, the resort spa and fitness center is right across the road complete with tennis court, lap pool and bicycle rentals, for additional fees.

The unit itself is designed with the vacation guest’s needs always in mind and it is completely turnkey furnished. All linens, dishes, pots and pans are provided as well as everything else needed in a well-equipped kitchen such as coffee maker and grinder, blender, toaster, etc. The kitchen itself is beautiful with granite countertops and lovely cabinets. The open design creates inviting gathering areas between the kitchen, dining and living room areas, as well as the very popular lanai with its own gas grill.

The three bedrooms have been carefully decorated to ensure comfort and relaxation.  The master has a beautiful king sized bed, the front guest has a queen bed and the other guest room has two twin beds that can also be pushed together to create a king.  The unit has two bicycles that are available to guests to use around the area.  These make it great to ride to the beach!  There's a brand new large flat screen TV in the living room and a new flat screen in the master bedroom.  Each with a cable box.  

Staying at the Palm Villas you will feel worlds away from the everyday hustle and bustle, yet you are only moments away from so many wonderful activities and experiences. To name a few: • Beaches, snorkeling, historic fish ponds, trails for walking and hiking • Private beach club, two championship golf courses • Fine dining, art galleries, shopping, full service grocery store and free entertainment Whether you are a frequent visitor to Hawaii Island, or this is your first time, you are certain to enjoy the unique experience staying at such a special property offers. As an added advantage, this unit is locally managed and so assistance is only a phone call away, a big advantage when so far from home. 

The Palm Villas requires parking in the garage and only one guest parking pass.  Max of two vehicles.  No commercial vehicles allowed in the Palm Villas complex.

Great condo, amazing location

The condo was great! It was literally across the street from the pool. And the access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club was amazing. Great beach for kids, clean bathrooms, and good shade. We ate dinner most nights on the lanai and watched the sunset.I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fabulous Stay at Palm Villas

Our family had a great stay at this condo at the Palm Villas at Mauna Lani. The condo was great and very well stocked for kitchen supplies, pots, and pans. The bedrooms were comfortable. The location was perfect with an easy walk to the beach, hotel, and access to the wonderful Beach Club. We absolutely recommend!

Absolute Perfect Location !!

We were so grateful that we found this property! Such quick and easy walks to nice beaches, or easy short drives to other nice beaches! I was surprised to see how much they had stored in their garage that I don't believe was on the listing, but truly made our vacation even better! Especially the wagon for our little one! Thank you, and we would 100% book again and next time we'll remember to leave the pool key!!!

Nice and Cozy

Condo was great for my family of 5. Everything you could possibly need was included. Location was great. Pool was wonderful and steps from the front door. Beautiful walking path close by that leads to beach access. The private beach was excellent and a short drive away. Nice having a garage to use. Bikes were fun. Unfortunately a lot of the snorkeling gear was broken but that was no fault to the owners, just the last guests I’m sure. We would stay again for sure if we make it back to the Big Island in the future.

A lovely, quiet and peaceful 3 bedrm condo with a well equipped kitchen and a lovely lenai. Easy 5 minute drive to the Beach Club and 300 feet to the historic trailhead which winds down past lava tubes to the fish ponds. Easy parking, 2 bicycles, walk 100' to the pool. Tons of towels, beach chairs...the hosts have added many nice touches.

Beautiful location

I wish we had stayed for more than 3 days! The condo was perfectly situated to walk through the fish ponds and beach, and the pool was across the street. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and shopped at Foodland. I would highly recommend this condo. My only suggestion would be “cushier” and softer living room couches and chairs for relaxing. We hope to be back!

Great Place to Stay!!

We love the Mauna Lani resort area and have stayed many times. This condo was lovely! The kitchen was well stocked, the lanai was comfortable and shaded most of the day which is great, access to the beach club is the best part! Great places to walk and right across the street from the Mauna Lani sports and fitness center if you like tennis. Walking distance to the grocery store and shopping. Great pool, small fitness center on property but workable, well kept grounds and the property manager was super responsive if we needed anything.

A special experience

Wonderful setting and location in walking distance to beach-clean and comfortable. Plenty of beach accessories including beach towels, bikes, snorkeling equipment. Beds very comfortable-AC welcome. Some minor criticisms-a bit dated decor, some lights were out, filter in fridge needs replacement and heard guests above walking and shifting chairs but overall a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Property. Bicycle Repair

We completely enjoyed our stay at Palm Villas (G2). It was absolutely gorgeous, spacious and clean. The pool and spa were awesome and most of the time we had it entirely to ourselves. Unfortunately, both bicycles were un-ridable upon arrival but after a run over to BikeWorks in Waikoloa, my husband had the tube replaced in one and the seat post replaced in the other. They are good to go and provided tons of fun riding around the Mauna Lani paths and to the Petroglyphs. I still can't stop looking at our sunset photos from the lanai.
