From the director...

VOLCANO!

Lava flowOnly KALANI gives you the VIEW without the VOG.  The biggest news is that Volcano Goddess PELE, HAWAII'S #1 VISITOR ATTRACTION is in full and fabulous view, flowing into the ocean just a short 5 mile drive and a mere 1/2 hour hike from Kalani; and Kalani is the only coastal retreat-resort east of the volcano, so is upwind of the volcano smog ("vog") that's blowing across the rest of the state. 

Also, a rare occurrence, Halema'uma'u in the upper part of HVNP is spewing smoke but no fire.  So there's lots of adventure options this summer at Kalani in addition to great snorkeling, waterfall treks, steam bathing, warm springs, botanical gardens, and, of course, our on-site
renowned cuisine, and activities potpourri including hula, yoga, ecstatic dance and much more.  For more information, see our adventures, weekly activities, and upcoming workshops.

HAWAII is the world's #1 fantasy destination for weddings.

Kalani weddingsFor people building meaningful relationships, nowhere is more ideal than the nature-culture-w
ellness celebration that is KALANI.


Kalani nurtures intimacy in an inspiring retreat environment, with "blue-tiful" ocean vistas, lovely fresh bre
ezes and expansive lawns nestled in native forest.


Adding fire to y
our passion is hot lava Goddess Pele, nearby in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  Flowing into the sea, in a love fest of the elements -fire, air, water and land, Pele symbolizes the continuous creative spirit and commitment that keeps marriages going and growing healthier and stronger.  See our wedding offerings on our Special Events & Weddings web page.

Active Retirement

RK hulaHow about a preview of Heaven (the meaning of Kalani) for us active "gray is gorgeous" seniors?

Nowhere else do seniors get to celebrate life in so many ways. 

Whatever your age, sexty, sexty-one, or, like me, now sexty-too!, Kalani is the place for you to center with sea-side meditation, renew in yoga, eat and exercise your way to vibrant wellness, lounge and swim at the pool-spa or oceanside warm springs, and cherish a culture all about love and aloha. 


Kalani bamboo cottageIn your active retirement you can  help out with Kalani's retreat operations, interact with volunteers and guests from around the world, and have a sweet dream cottage to call home, crafted of modern wood-glass or traditional bamboo.  For more information see our web page on Kalani Retreat Village.
