The Big Island's luxury is on the Kohala Coast: resort villas set among lava fields, golf courses and white-sand coves, under some of the sunniest skies in Hawaii. We chose these rentals one by one - every residence at the island's two finest resorts, the best villas at the next tier, and its top estate homes.

Rentals chosen unit by unitVilla or hotel, comparedEvery view checkedOnly legally licensed rentals

Three resorts, one coast. The island's finest rentals cluster north of Kona's airport: the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, whose residences are on a level of their own; the villas of Mauna Lani among ancient fishponds and lava fields; and Mauna Kea, above the island's two finest beaches. Add estate homes from Kona's oceanfront to Puako's beach road and that's about one in 19 of the Big Island rentals we list.

Not every view is of the ocean. Kohala's resort villas are set among the lava and the fairways, with the beach clubs a short walk or golf-cart ride away, so at Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea we pick units by guest rating and price rather than requiring an ocean view - and many have private plunge pools instead.

Find yours by party size: for two (one and two bedrooms) · for a family (three bedrooms) · for the whole clan (four or more).

Source: 1,827 guest reviews of our 91 Big Island luxury picks and 55,506 of the island's other rentals, 2022 to 2026 (October 2026).

How we choose: Every residence we list at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai and in the Mauna Kea Resort's luxury enclaves makes our list. At Mauna Lani, Wai'ula'ula and Kolea a unit must be rated 4.9+ by at least 10 guests and priced like the community's best. Estate homes need a pool or the ocean out front, air conditioning unless they're on the water, and a 4.8+ rating from at least 10 guests. Owners can't pay to be included.

01The top tier: Four Seasons Resort HualalaiArea 1 of 4

The island's most exclusive resort, set in the lava fields about 10 minutes north of Kona's airport, with the Four Seasons, its beaches, pools and golf at the center. Every residence we list here makes our luxury list.

Big Island luxury rentals FAQ

What makes a rental luxury on HawaiiGaga?

We choose rather than filter by price. Every residence we list at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai and in the Mauna Kea Resort's luxury enclaves (Kauna'oa, the Villas at Mauna Kea, the Mauna Kea Fairways homes and the Hapuna Beach Residences) is in. At Mauna Lani, Wai'ula'ula and Kolea a unit must be rated 4.9 or higher by at least 10 guests and priced like the community's best. Estate homes need a pool or the ocean out front and a 4.8+ rating from at least 10 guests.

Hualalai, Mauna Lani or Mauna Kea?

Hualalai for the most exclusive, polished resort, about 10 minutes from Kona's airport; Mauna Lani for villas among fishponds and lava fields with a beach club and restaurants a walk or golf-cart ride away; Mauna Kea for the two finest beaches, Kaunaoa and Hapuna, and a classic grand hotel, about 35 minutes north. See Kohala Coast rentals for how the resorts compare.

Should I book a villa or a resort hotel?

For a family or a group, usually a villa: three or four bedrooms with their own baths, a full kitchen, often a private plunge pool and a golf cart, for less than the equivalent hotel rooms. A hotel wins on daily housekeeping, room service and kids' clubs. Access to the resort hotels' pools and spas varies by rental - some include it, others charge a day-use fee - so check each listing.

Are the Big Island's luxury rentals on the beach?

Few are, because the resort hotels hold the sand. The Hapuna Beach Residences, steps from Hapuna Beach, are the exception; most of our villas are a short walk or golf-cart ride from a beach club or resort beach, and several estate homes in Kona and Puako sit right on the ocean.

Do I need a car?

Yes. The resorts are spread along the coast and Kona is 10 to 40 minutes away, though within a resort many villas come with a golf cart.

When should I book?

As early as you can. There are only a few dozen top-tier residences on the island, and holiday weeks and the winter whale season book far ahead, often with longer minimum stays.
