Mauna Kea Resort—the iconic destination on the Island of Hawaii comprised of the historic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort—has been named one of the Travel + Leisure 500 Best Resorts in the World in 2022. The prestigious annual list, compiled from Travel + Leisure’s 2021 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey results, celebrates the top hotels and resorts in the world that are redefining hospitality and service for travelers.
“We are thrilled to be named as not one, but two of this year’s top 500 hotels and resorts in the world by Travel + Leisure and its readers,” said Craig Anderson, Vice President of Operations at Mauna Kea Resort. “This distinction is a tribute to our talented team, who consistently go above and beyond to provide best-in-class service, cultural programming reflecting the island’s rich history, award-winning culinary experiences, and an always welcoming spirit of Aloha. We are excited to continue to build upon our storied legacy and commitment to celebrating everything our beautiful Kohala Coast has to offer.”
Welcoming guests to the idyllic and rugged Kohala Coastline for more than 50 years, Mauna Kea Resort boasts a “stay at one, play at all” mantra, which allows guests of both resorts and their luxury residences to enjoy amenities at both properties during their stay, from outrigger canoeing and nighttime Manta snorkels to a world-class oceanfront dining and luxury spas. Kids can spend their day at the Keiki Club while parents enjoy golf or a rejuvenating spa treatment, then end the day with the show-stopping Mauna Kea Luau. This year, Mauna Kea Resort is also introducing new programming and sustainability initiatives to offer guests immersive cultural experiences, mindful travel offerings, elevated spa and dining, and more:
Mauna Kea Resort’s sister property, Prince Waikiki, under Prince Resorts Hawaii, LLC, was also named to this year’s prestigious list. The T+L 500 2022 list will be featured in Travel + Leisure’s May edition and online at www.travelandleisure.com/tl500-2022.
