If you want to experience the natural beauty and tropical abundance of Hawaii without the tourists, golf courses and poolside bars, Kalani is for you! The grounds are lush and extensive, and the spring-fed Olympic size swimming pool is fabulous, with two outdoor hot tubs and a sauna next to it. The dining lanai is open air and lovely, and... More

Want to stay far from tourist-tacky-consumerism, enjoy 3 gourmet/organic meals a day and be close to some of the BEST nature experiences that Hawaii offers? Kalani is the answer! Plus, they've got great yoga teachers and world-class massage therapists (all flavors, including watsu) who will melt your body and mind into a blissful state... ready for the next day's adventure....

Everytime my husband and I come to Kalani we are met with such a palatable sense of calm and realization that this is how life should be and that our existence in LA is just a temporary trip through insanity. The food, the people, and the community feeds our bodies, our need for a supportive society and our souls. We... More

Our five days of the "Kalani Experience" were relaxing, idyllic and paradisical. The setting is beautiful, and there is a great deal of thought put in to making guests feel welcome - we felt like honored guests throughout our stay and the aloha spirit is in evidence everywhere. The food is abundant, healthful, and delicious. The bodyworks (included in our... More

Recovering from an illness I needed a week of rest, wonderful people, clean air, and great food. Kalani delivered completely. And when I wanted activity it was all around me. The Ecstatic Dance on Sunday, the lomilomi massages, the hikes around the property, Wednesday night at Uncle Roberts (great Hawaiian music!), were all wonderful. After my week at KalaniI I... More

My stay at Kalani was a welcome and surprisingly wonderful experience. I had no idea about the place when I scheduled a workshop. I must say, my one week was truly a little piece of heaven in my life of turmoil at the time. I would highly recommend Kalani to anyone who wants to get away to a perfectly relaxing... More

We scheduled to have dinner one night at Kalani, as we were staying nearby in Kalapana. The reservations were easy and we arrived early so we could view the spectacular grounds. The statues are beautiful and carefully placed throughout. Dinner was served on a very large lanai and was accompanied by a wonderful guitar player. The dinner was excellent.... Locally... More

I have visited Kalani twice, the first time I attended a Lucid Dreaming retreat for 10 days, and just recently spent two weeks there. Kalani is different from most resorts, there is no alcohol on property and the food is very clean, healthy and good! The resort is run by volunteers who are wonderful, it seems everyone who goes to... More

I loved my stay at the Kalani! (Tho some things were a bit rough around the egdes.). The food was so good! We never wanted to miss a meal! Fresh and well prepared. The scene at meal time, with the guests, employees and volunteers all eating on the dining lanai together, really helps one feel a part of the community... More

Aloha, and thanks for your thoughtful review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and the experience of being more connected with nature in our tree house rooms! We've passed along your feedback regarding "spicing up" the vegetarian food to our kitchen, it's a challenge of course to find dishes that everyone loves equally, but generally our food is a... More
