Location

The best option is to fly into Kona International Airport. Most major airlines service this airport, and the most common direct flights are from Los Angeles and San Francisco, with additional direct options from Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. You may also want to explore flying into Hilo International Airport (ITO) or Honolulu International Airport (HNL), which then requires a quick commuter flight to the Big Island.

So that you can be flexible in exploring the wide range of diverse, unique activities on the Big Island, we recommend renting a car. Club partner Avis is your best option, and your Destination Concierge is always happy to discuss.

Outstanding trip

We just returned from our annual Kona vacation staying at Hale Keakhola on the Kohala Coast. While there we had two outstanding catered dinners from Chef Ippy Aiona.

"Chef Philip "Ippy" Aiona was born and raised on "The Big Island" of Hawaii to an Italian-American mother and a Native Hawaiian father. Growing up, his father had a Hawaiian Plate Lunch shop and his mother had an Italian Restaurant setting a fire to his passion for everything food related at a very young age. Ippy went on to graduate at top of his class from the Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. "

The first meal was a Full Buffet and a second a fantastic Seven course dinner. Both featured foods grown locally in Hawaii.

The dinner menu, served with Turnbull Wines, was:

1 Ahi Tuna on a Wonton Chip

with a Wasabi Aioli

2 Miso Arancini

with Unagi and spicy Aioli

3 Waimea Tomato Bisque

with Croutons and Blue cheese

4 Kekela Baby Romaine

with Cilantro Lime Caesar Dressing

5 Misoyaki Butterfish

with crispy purple sweet potato and shishito pepper

6 Big Island Korean braised Short Rib

with chimichurri and Turmeric za'atar roasted cauliflower

7 Hawaiian Cheesecake

with Kona Mango and Mint Chutney

Wines served with the courses were:

Non-vintage Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine

2024 Josephine Sauvignon Blanc

2022 Bonne Vivante Red Blend

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

Non-vintage Port

Many of the recipes are in Chef Ippys newly released book Growing up Hapa in Hawaii.

If you are visiting the Big Island, I recommend either booking Chef Ippy for a catered meal or visiting his casual restaurant in Waimea - Ippy's Hawaiian Barbeque. https://www.ippyshawaiianbarbeque.com

If you are going to the Kohala Coast, ask the Inspirato staff to book you a dinner with Chef Ippy!

Wonderful Grandkid trip

Had a great time with the grandkids and their parents on the Big Island & Hale Kealoha. Amanda & Dean did a great job with suggestions during planning. We all enjoyed the suggested luau, dolphin experience, private sailboat and Chef Ippy. Having your own private pool and ocean views not too bad either:)

Our home away from home

We've stayed at Hale Kealoha many times and honestly feel like it is our home away from home. The home is beautifully appointed, the pool and view are superb, the quick walkway to the beach for long meditative morning walks is restorative and I could go on and on about it. Amanda and Tyler take such good care of us and while there are so many great restaurants to enjoy there is nothing better than cooking up fresh fish from the fish market on the grill and enjoying a beautiful sunset at the outdoor dining area. Love, love, love this home.

Beautiful location and home though issues exist.

There is a cockroach problem on the property. There wasn't in the home but at night the cockroaches take over the pool and backyard area. Over a hundred of them were in the pool and one got in one of our guests hair that was in a lounge chair poolside. No one wanted to use the pool afterwards. The person representing Inspirato was unavailable for 3 of the seven days of the stay. Left a few messages and someone else responded to one of them. I wouldn't tip her before the end of your trip. She did get the hot water problem solved. We had stayed there before with no issues so this was not what we expected.

Hi David! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. As of 5/3/2024, we have received confirmation from Inspirato's Destination Manager for the Kohala Coast: - Our team verified that local vendors routinely carry out pest control measures, ensuring that the home remains pest-free. Additionally, it's important to note that the reported cockroaches were not found inside the home. To further enhance our members' experience, we will gladly provide outdoor spray for their convenience upon request. - While one of our team members was on their scheduled days off during your stay, we confirmed the rest of the Inspirato team remained fully available, reaching out daily to assist with any needs that arose. We apologize for any inconveniences you encountered during your stay and look forward to hosting you again.

Almost perfection...

The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for relaxing in! The art on the walls is worth the visit all by itself! The only disappointment was the view from the house was not what the pictures on the website represented. You can see some of the ocean if you're standing up, but while sitting at the pool you can only see the hedge. The hedge in the website picture looks very low, but it's very tall now. The location is perfect if you want easy access to the King and Queen shops... almost perfect! ;)
